Olga Tokarczuk, Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead (translated by Antonia Lloyd-Jones)

[Text ID: “I am / just trying to sleep. To feed. To fill / myself and grow larger from it. / Or: I am only trying to slither back / into my first skin. / Or: I am only trying to remember how it felt not to leak.”]

[Text ID: “How do I stop / carrying everything / that had ever / happened to me?”]

— Franz Kafka, Letters to Felice

“You can say anything and I will not abandon you.”

[Text ID: “I am trying to stop doing / things that don’t make any sense. Body, / forgive me. I am trying. I am trying. I am still trying.]
