Sting
A sorrow, I'll not describe it here. It's easily 50 years old, an unwelcome memory brought up by some recent events. Triggered? Stupid word but yes.
Half a century and more. God, I wish I remembered useful things and forgot this. I do not have a Holmesian Mind Palace, I have an 'antique' shop with attached sundry portals. Not saying I'm the junk lady from Labyrinth, only that I could give her a job if she wanted one. But see, that in itself made me laugh, made me forget this sad painful old thing.
I have stuff to do tomorrow. So tonight I will go to sleep and let this awful business rampage around until it's so dull it bores itself away. And tomorrow I will do something necessary, nice too, and remember that the pain's imaginary but Spring is real.
