An empty world, a plague, a toll A voiceless void, your hands, your words A nightmare released, a terrible disease Small gaps, out of time, out of space, out of line In the deep, you weep, you scream Soundless and torn, the painter and the poet
My world fell to plague. I have no voice, my hands are my words.
I don't know. Mentioning the plague is about my past, the rest of it? I can't make sense of. I can write but being deaf makes me a shitty poet and my painting skills are on par with about a third grader. [A weak attempt at humor, but hey. He's trying?]
Your art is in other things, Nick. There are other ways to create beauty in
the world.
[She doesn't want to think about them.]
Look, but don't touch
Outside.
Out of here.
This is it. This is all.
You designed my prison and you want me to help you escape it?
Did you think you fooled me?
You will spend eternity with me and I will break you
The person who imprisoned me back home, or was part of imprisoning me, is
here in New Dodge. I haven't spoken to him yet. These words could mean
anything, see?

[She frowns at this]
What does that mean now? For you?
