Dust
sat
on
bookshelves
and
window
ledges, baseboards
and
picture
frames,
like
an
assault,
the
target
the
middle
of
my
face
.
The
motion
of
lifting
an
arm
to
wipe
a
surface
was
only
marginally
more
taxing
than
attempting
to
access descriptive
words
in
my
laden
head
.
Internal
illness
has
a
way
of
compounding
itself
with
a
drudgery
of
external
consequences
as
dishes
,
skin
and
tables
go
unwashed
.
The
physical seeps
into
the
psychological.
Even
words
become
exhausting
.
