Little, little needle, please become an arrow

Agnese‘s question: “How do you conspire when you are out of breath?”

Agnese‘s intro:

“How do you keep feeling when feeling is unbearable?
How do you conspire when you are out of breath?

Cospirare: to conspire
Respirare: to breath
Cospirare: to breath together 

No answers. 

A compagno says the perhaps audacity. It surfaces, limps, to suddenly be drowned.
A reminder that we do whatever we do in the conjunction of hope and defeat.

Lingering between the political and the visceral, oscillating between the collective and the
deeply private in a body, in a language that is not mine, in a world that keeps asking us to
produce and perform while it burns.

Something about exhaustion, tenderness, breakage and falling.
Something about the need to write to shape the world and the failure of writing to shape
the world.”
