“Fear is my father forgetting my name, Fear is my disengaging again, Fear is your approach, Fear is your gaze. Fear is the silence. Fear is the thought of…Fear is the memory of…Fear is the feeling of…Fear, is the needing. Fear is the bruising, blue-black, undeserved. Fear is the losing control. Fear is the loss. Fear is the falling. The footsteps falling. Fear is you. Fear is you. I am afraid of you. I am afraid of your footsteps falling again.”
