Day 099: Watchman's View
Date: 2021-12-16
The original version of this work is lost. What remains is not a copy, but a return. I remembered the slope, the weight of the Watchman, the way the land pulled upward, and I followed that memory rather than the reference.
I am not sure this version is stronger. It is certainly different. Calmer. Less certain. But it holds the truth of revision, and of trying again when certainty is gone.
