About how fatigue changes the weight of attention and shows that the light has been on for too long.
Fatigue as a Sign of Returning to Yourself
Fatigue is nothing like emptiness.
It is an excess of what has already lost its shape.
A marble profile knows no sleep —
it merely snuffs a candle near the end of the wick.
Bodies do the same when there’s nothing left to prove.
Fatigue doesn’t ask for rest.
It asks to pause the meaning — for a moment.
When the flame trembles, it becomes clear:
you didn’t burn out.
You were simply light
for those who can survive only as shadow.
Break.
