The Author Writes the First Draft of His Wedding Vows

"Dearest,
I feel certain I am going mad again.
we will go through terrible times. And recover. I
begin to hear your voice, and can’t concentrate. So I am
doing what seems
will give me the greatest possible happiness.
I don’t think two people could have been happier with
this disease. I know
that without you I can’t properly feel.
What I want to say is You have
saved me.

Everything has gone from me
but the certainly of your goodness."

— Hanif Willis-Abdurraqib, an erasure of Virginia Woolf’s suicide letter to her husband, Leonard
