dead girl interview What gave you your girlhood? What took it away?
Where was your mother?
What do you see when I say “scarlet”?
Do you believe in the stars?
Are there other ways you wish you died?
Can you tell me again, about the dream?
And the morning after, when the moon set?
Tell me about your closest encounter.
When did you meet her?
She is the first person you thought of—how tenderly did you touch?
What world did you invent to survive?
What world did you invent to satiate?
Tell me about your own curious rage.
Finish the sentence: “in my archive of desire, I keep ________.”
What color is the thing that haunts you most?
Would you let me hold the memory?
