It's funny; sometimes we speak words and they feel dead in comparison to our emotions. Sometimes we speak words and they bring to life emotions we didn't even realize we had.
hey Olivia, thanks for reading, and yes! — by dead I mean devoid of ripeness, of aliveness. My use of the word "emotional," in this context, just seems to miss the mark. It feels like a hollow shell of what I feel, which is tangible and visceral and full.

Thank you for this beautiful piece.
Surya, can I ask what you mean by dead language?
