I often think about how Armenian poet Hovhannes Shiraz, known as the "singer of mothers", refused to restore his house after his mother’s passing. You see, his mother was blind and relied heavily on the wall for support with every step she took, leaving behind the soft traces of her weathered hands. These marks, faint yet existent, were all that remained of her, and Hovhannes could not bring himself to erase them.

I often think about this.

on biting the hand til it bleeds. on showing all your teeth. on raised hackles and the jagged-mouthedness of grief
