I think about the urgency of belonging:
to a family, a nation, an artistic movement, or to another heart without being abused.
It feels like an urgency, like a desperation not to be alone, to have meaning, validity, dignity, love.
And at the same time, the resistance is precise.
The pavement burns, the mosquitoes bite, the wind pushes.

Is belonging a dream? A decision? A fight?
