Jan 12
The moon is present, but deliberately insufficient. A half-form suspended in a field that refuses contrast. It neither illuminates nor dramatizes. It merely confirms orientation: yes, this is night; yes, time is passing. The moon —so often used as a symbol of yearning— is stripped of metaphorical excess here. It does not stand in for love, or loss, or time. It is simply the smallest available evidence that something continues.
