I boxed up some of the things I wrote during the pandemic and added an introduction.
It annoys me a little that I didn't feel able and still don't feel able, to craft some of these words into something more resembling poetry. I know poetry is more than the careful selection and positioning of words, more than rhyming, which can either seem to validate otherwise discarded thoughts, or give perhaps a false impression that the chosen words fit perfectly and are therefore true. I feel it's in the rhythm of writing that truth is carried and the sometimes stilted rhythms of my own thoughts reflect the fact that I haven't yet resolved my feelings.
These memories are yet to be processed fully.
