2019.07.29 Hiding

The simple truth is that there is too much going on, and to do my usual processing here in the open is inappropriate. So, instead, I hide.

I hide my thoughts. The details of which should not be shared.

I hide my feelings. They are complicated and improbable, but even worse than their humiliating privacy are their grisly impossibility.

I hide my dreams. Every night, after too little real sleep, I succumb to as many nightmares as I can stand. They impress with their simplicity and their subtle reach.

I hide my hopes. They are too fragile for daylight of any kind.

I hide my fears. Like any proper shadow government.

I hide my self. Because I can't bear to witness what's left.
