the wrist

the flesh
domestic squabbles sexual torments
and economic setbacks

a piano
of arresting tonal crudity
corporeal and untamed

headlong riots
cantankerous contentious
the wrist on fire

remarkable pluck
caustic worldview
a portrait of defeatism

What I’m Reading:

It can be difficult to distinguish forbearance from resignation, sorrow from partial reconciliation, fortitude from loneliness. I thought about how difficult it can be to tell these emotions apart on the basis of facial expressions and gestures, about how the person in question may struggle to distinguish these feelings in themselves.
