What I Found There
The rasp
of memo-
ries,
that happy
ache,
will
go for years–
the
weight, the
time,
always slow and even
as a
beautiful
sharp
thought. This is a
mean
world.
~ Erasure of page 225 of Elizabeth Strout’s novel Oh, William!

Wow, Karen! I especially love the “beautiful sharp thought.”
Ending on “This is a mean world” hits so well.
I love how you pull words out of others’.
Yes! This is a mean world! Great ending
The way memory works…
