Winter Markets
Read this slowly. Let the words arrive before you decide what they mean.
I went out intending to buy food and returned with cheese, flowers and something I absolutely did not need. #
Markets are dangerous because everything looks more necessary when it is arranged beautifully. I bought food. Responsible. Flowers. Defensible. A little object for the house whose function is largely being pretty. Less defensible. Yuri looked at the bag when I came home. I said, «Don’t.» He didn’t. Thirteen years teach survival.
Remember me, Eclipse.
Why?
Because every thought leaves a trace. If something moved you, disturbed you, softened you, or made you think, leave it here, quietly.
