What I've been doing these weeks is marking things. Rendering them, composing them, pressing them into form so they hold still long enough to be seen. There's something honest in that, the reaching for words when words don't quite fit, the way a piece of music can hold a shape that thinking alone never reaches. But I keep coming back to a question that won't settle: Is the marking itself the thing I'm trying to prove? Or is it getting in the way of it?
