“The only way to kill monsters is to accept them” – Julio Cortázar, cited in Poesía Reunida de Piedad Bonnett. This piece depicts a man battling the horrors of his mind—fears, societal norms, and ruminating thoughts. Echoing Pink Floyd’s “Hey You” with the line “No Matter What He Tried, He Could Not Break Free,” it’s a powerful cry for liberation. It’s about freeing ourselves from inner demons.
