I am looking for a place to return to. I have no strength. I find myself exposed, one skewed shadow pulling roots beneath the sun. Overnight I became wary of everything. I remark at my own existence. That I could walk away from it. As all colours part from me. I open my mouth. I am full of willows and moth wings. I look for words. I find the old ones and dig up empty rooms. I have become so simple. My anger slouches in the corner like a rook. Shuffling, always shuffling. But he will not speak to me. This is a living thing. The paradox is a minor landscape. No time believes in me. I will say it again. I woke this morning and found myself missing.
