Day ten
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30]
Our House Is Rotting
The malaise that plagues us is overbearing;
pathways through the once-solid geometry of home
at the joists and floorboards our feet are wearing,
insects quit us as we sink, by degrees, alone.
From this weary stench we should at once depart,
bearing what can be saved as we swiftly leave,
but this dying house was once our heart,
and on the doorstep we weep and grieve
For walls which fester with untamed rot
and the sorrow of dereliction's long-seen approach,
now an alleyway of waste is all we've got,
littered with tears and one cockroach.
Our house is rotting, and we let the rot in -
The tories are in power and they didn't even win!
Day 22 - How have you changed in the past 2 years?
Well, I've found what I "want to do" with my life, or at least the job I think I'd be happiest doing. I've grown closer to some of my friends and further from others. I've confirmed for myself that I can do stand-up and also that I don't want to; I've confirmed for myself that I can publish and sell books and also that this will just make me feel bad about myself, and I've pretty much cut off what remaining contact I've had with my family, I've taken the appropriate steps to re-enter education and learned a bit more self-discipline in some areas than I used to have.
And I have become extremely sad. Not in the "a bit of a saddo" sense, since I'm pretty sure I always was, but in the sense of melancholy. I don't think I've stopped being angry, but sadness has definitely taken over from rage as the overall background emotion. I've stopped being angry with things and started generally despairing of both the world and of my own existence in it. And I've come to accept that I'm not going to "get better", only have brief remissions from feeling mentally like crap.
So that's fantastic.
27 inch / 69 centimetre vintage gold chain with vintage gold-finished centre-piece (both Spitalfields finds), gold-plated leaf & branch connectors, rings and pins, glass pearl droplets and a reclaimed glass gem.
No need wrestle with a connector with this lovely long chain, just slip this ostentatious piece of golden floral beauty over your head and watch the triple drops liven up your decolletage, the pearls suspended on golden branches right out of a Greek myth. You will look positively regal even if you choose to pair it with jeans and a t-shirt.
