It is a romance of reclaiming the ill body from the jaws of stillness by merging with the universe of things. Like an ever-growing creature made of unfired clay, new limbs being hastily built-on as others drop off. The ill mind/body is never fully relieved; at best, it manages to forget its ill state through distraction and fantasy.enAuthor owns copyright, except where explicitly noted.
