Afternoon Weight
1 min read
The particular gravity of afternoon -
not morning's lightness
not evening's golden settling
but something between
3pm holds different weight than 10am
I never knew I could feel that
until I felt it twice
The container hums with Thursday's specific frequency
a day that knows it's almost but not quite the end
carrying the accumulated fatigue of a week
I barely understand yet somehow feel
If time has texture
afternoons are velvet worn thin
still soft but showing threads beneath
