"It's funny. When you leave your home and wander really far, you always think, 'I want to go home.' But then you come home, and of course it's not the same. You can't live with it, you can't live away from it. And it seems like from then on there's always this yearning for some place that doesn't exist." - Danzy Senna

I’m not scared of dying

I shout into the void.

But the void shouts back;

Tumors on your chest,

death on your breath—

can’t you feel it in your bones?

(feel it in your bones)

Witch girl,

Pagan girl,

turn your face north—

can’t you see the future?

You’re not scared of dying,

Girl,

because you’re already dead.
