Summary:
Every day is a mysterious struggle or a revelatory joy.

I died a little yesterday 

or felt a little dead

But today I’m feeling better 

It was only in my head.

************************

Yesterday

something in me pressed pause.

A heaviness

perhaps a tiny death,

or maybe just

the absence of myself.

I tried to move,

but each gesture

felt laboured and opaque 

like distant voices behind glass.

But today feels different.

Light slants through the thin Australian clouds

and I find the ache

is softer,

less final,

a shadow at the edge.

It was only in my head.

The world

waits, unsure,

but here I am

not gone,

only changed for a while
