'Why' without answer. 'Why?' that erodes its own answer and is set back from itself as question. Then it names a responsiveness, a vulnerability. It names that exposure, for writers, for readers, that lets a kind of light shine through the stretched membrane of the personal. A dark light, the darkness become light. The 'why?' turns in itself on the other side of writing. The 'why', lost from all reasons, a question that has become a wandering, and turns there.
I don't know -- it's a little over-written.
