Half-made

Between sleep and wake, unwritten words haunt my soul and unborn numbers devour my sanity. Render me restless. Somewhere between silences, there exists a mirage of sound, and perhaps this is where I am.

For some reason, the piano seems louder, bolder at night. My street is always fairly quiet, so I doubt it's due to the change in noise patterns outside. Perhaps light diffuses sound when darkness pins it down. I get nervous playing music too late in the evening; the music no longer seems my own.

I've taken time off work these few days, rediscovering my father's company while he visits for a time. Days of blessed sunshine and shadowed chill, I have soup and I eat ice cream.

There are things to be done - boxes, always boxes, but I'm making progress. My must-do list is very slowly shrinking, whilst items on my to-do list seem to mate and reproduce. Many words half-written, gifts half-fashioned, songs half-sung. Possibilities half-made.

Blissful days like blank canvasses.
