Runotorstai: proosahaaste Marjo Niemen romaanista Miten niin valo

There was a battle between personalities
and I started to feel like
the person taking all the hits was me.

There was a distance between bodies
but absurdly enough I took some hits there too
which you could not see.

I was angry and frustrated
so I kicked you blindly
and hit you in the groin

I still longed for the embrace
but all I could think of
was the battle going on.

So when you reached out for me again
I swear to god
I did not know what else to do.


The world is cruel,
it doesn't care about us.
And the cruelest thing is you.
