Umbrellas
Nine of Umbrellas
anxiety · midnight · wall shadows
Upright
Bolt upright at midnight, one eye wide, umbrellas hanging like accusations on the wall. The 3 a.m. mind: vivid, persuasive, mostly wrong. Daylight will file a correction.
Reversed
The night thins; the shadows resolve into furled, harmless shapes. Name the fear aloud and watch it fold.
