I write this surrounded by light : imperfect, fractured.
Events of note in the last week:
1. Speeding by at the breakneck pace of about 40kms/hr, I glimpse a security guard playing with a dog: the movement of his hand seems careless, but affectionate, and the dog's tail is a blur. They are both smiling.
2. I lost a scrap of paper I've been carrying with me for 14 years.
3. I moved house.
4. I expected to feel loss.
5. Lies.
6. I expected to feel precisely this: that I didn't. Don't.
7. You ruined me, I think. You ruined this for me.
8. Perhaps I miss the house, after all.
9. That would make more sense that this: wearing fuzzy socks and a sweatshirt and then turning up the fan to max speed.
10. I dislodged a lizard or two from their comfortable home. This will have consequences.
