My mind, essentially ***
The past few days I’ve struggled finishing my sentences, beginning in an attempt to understand and order my thoughts but inevitably falling short, resorting to cliches and automatic responses (e.g. this very sentence). It’s as if my mind is on text message suggestions, tying up loose ends with a scramble of words, a sentence faking sensible in short phrases but on the whole revealing itself meaningless, confused, lost. But that’s the literary analogy for how I feel; the other analogy is this image—a gradient of darkness, a distortion of the stable, and a curvature of light—hope?—following the silhouetted darkness. ***************
