“but later it is because I want to sit alone with my grief. i want to protect—hide? hide from?—these foreign sensations, this bewildering series of hills and valleys. there is a desperation to shrug off this burden, and then a competing longing to cosset it, to hold it close. is it possible to be possessive of one’s pain? i want to become known to it, i want it known to me.”
