The Burden of the Abyss

These start as things I see with my eyes shut.

Some of them are tender and some of them are not, and I have given up sorting them into two piles. A dream never tells you which kind it is until you are already inside it.

Most are drawn in one line, without lifting, because that is how they arrive — all at once, or not at all.
