walking in circles

i woke up feeling strange

fully dressed on my bed, fully light outside

i missed the full moon perigee

i fell asleep at 9 last night, unintentionally

and only woke up at 6

i had been planning to bike to the lake

where my walking friends were watching

and go to the snails afterwards

but i slept

i felt sad

when i walked down the stairs to make some breakfast

my legs felt as if i had been walking for hours

and i thought of the quote i started this project with

to step is to dream

i must have dreamt a lot

and then i remembered something else

great things always begin with sleep.

great things begin by the thinnest edge.

i thought i just ended something
i thought i might have missed something

but i didn’t
