resist the urge to self-isolate, girl. people want you around. people don’t think you’re faulty. you’re allowed to be wrong and make mistakes and missteps and people won’t reject you for it. don’t self-isolate. nobody in your life wants you to self-isolate. don’t do it.
Absence leaves a shape.
Even when something is removed,
the pattern remembers where it used to belong.
Spatial memory
is trying to teach us something.
Perchance we should act
more like stone and
less like what forgets.
There is brutality
in the stone,
there is conviction
far beyond the builder.
