Very moved by this again. Especially love this phrase: picks up on the jolt and starts to swing again in an endless motion that never hesitates to file my thoughts away before I’m done.
I have enjoyed reading this so much Pipp. I miss the ticking of clocks. My dad took up fine woodworking as a hobby when he became too ill to work and he restored old clocks and built cases for them (among many other things) and our house was filled with the analogue tick of many clocks. Whenever I stayed over as an adult though, I had to stop the grandfather clock and the school wall clock in the living room, that were like Death’s clocks, slicing slivers from time in a doleful and deep tock tock tock that was slightly out of sync. Thank you for the shoutout, I always love discovering new reads here 💛
Yes!!! Totally, to every word Pipp! I love thé topic, especially as I have such a clock too, the tick I can float with, it is gentle and kind but the chime… is chilling! Needless to say the weights are laying in the vase disconnected.
Loved every word of this… and I’m so glad you submitted to A Cure for Sleep!
