Strong and taught : old and wrought

elastic and urgent : brittle and beaten

bright and searing : dull and weary

hungry and searching : malaise or leering

a candle stick (thick?) - melted away who knows the length of a wick will stay? the air we breathe burns as chests heave.

which of the many small slights to a human’s might before a piece breaks and drops the tanks after the burn. finally, precipice reached, peaked and is forever a bit more worn than reborn? all efforts in vain, nostalgia entertains…an idea of someone who was, instead of someone who could or would, be.

A shift in life’s biggest grift. life given, albeit at varied speeds, is snatched away. a thief in the night, robbery of might.

a slow working acid bath, becoming more concentrated with every sequential breathe. let it lie…no need to give up but, yes, we all die.

今年の目標を100個挙げるリストを完成させるべく何か思い付いたらすかさずメモするようにしているけれど、やっと70個を超えたくらい。「豆乳ピリ辛麺を作って食べる」と「人の振り見て我が振り直す」が隣り合っていたりして温度差がよく分からない。
