I write poetry with my fingers pressed into the fault line between pain and pleasure, teasing language until it trembles where ache becomes invitation, restraint turns intoxicating, and desire learns to speak in bruises.

There is a center in me
that does not want healing,
only comprehension.
It studies despair
the way astronomers study black holes:
not to escape them,
but to understand
what bends around them.

Inside me, I am always on trial.
Fear prosecutes.
Memory testifies.
Grief serves as evidence.
The verdict is endlessly postponed,
which is its own sentence.

At some depth, pain stops asking why
and starts asking what now.
Here, philosophy bleeds into sensation.
Here, suffering rehearses its arguments
until meaning gives in
out of exhaustion.

Grief was given to me
without explanation.
A language learned too early,
spoken fluently by the nervous system.
I carry it not as weight,
but as lineage.

Fear speaks first.
It drafts my thoughts
before I can object.
It is rational, persuasive, ancient
a philosopher trained
in worst-case metaphysics.

I walk through myself
like an abandoned structure.
Every room remembers voices.
Every wall holds impact.
Pain is the architect
that never stopped building.

Grief does not pull downward
it pulls inward.
It compresses time,
turns years into seconds,
and teaches the body
how heavy remembrance can be
when nothing is left to bury.

Fear is not loud.
It is administrative.
It organizes my thoughts,
assigns meaning to shadows,
keeps records of every moment
I learned that safety was conditional.

Pain does not scream.
It archives.
It labels corridors of memory
and files them under self.
Grief becomes a method,
a way of knowing
how deeply the world has entered me.

Inside me lives a night
that does not end with dawn.
It thinks in slow pulses,
counts losses like rosary beads,
and calls this ritual “being.”
Fear is its language,
spoken fluently in silence.
