I Know You

I know you by your habits; the grooves you have cut in the world; the familiar boredoms I would miss beyond all else.”

What can you know about a person? They shift
in the light. You can’t light up all sides at once. Add
a second light and you get a second darkness”

— Richard Siken, “Portrait of Fryderyk in Shifting Light”, War of the Foxes
