‘It was necessary to lend myself to the memory’, by Amy Allara

Anthology /

It was necessary to lend myself to the memory  of a body that could.  To separate from the broken figure,  the body that would not listen.  To not pretend.  To forego.  To not waste the clock’s signal.  To set it straight.  To disown magical inclinations.  To attach to that which understands.  To disavow the indifferent. … Continue Reading ‘It was necessary to lend myself to the memory’, by Amy Allara
