“...ur clothes and ur shoes weighed u down to the earth by the stillness... u could feel the penetrating silence on ur clothes, as if it was something u could wash away, or something u could carry it with u in2 another country. & my mother did carry it around like a glove that had no pair bc her silence always felt like it was missing something. how i wished i could go even 1 day without uttering a single sound”
