you were born in one country
and will die in another,

and where you live is where you’ll be buried,

and the moon never hangs in both skies
on the same night,

that’s why your day is hostage to your nights,

and that’s why you can’t sleep except by forgetting,
you can’t love except by remembering.”

“part of the strangeness of being human is our need of boundaries, parameters, definitions, explanations, and our need for them to be overturned. “ -Jeannette Winterson
