fingertips

Too much washing.  Too much pressing, pulling, pushing.  Calluses everywhere.  My fingertips are blackened and stained with charcoal and ink.  There is a weird feeling of pleasure of it, I feel like I’ve been working, and working feels good.  But I really can’t feel my fingertips, the skin’s so rough and dry and the calluses are so hard they press into the softer flesh.

I could use a break, a couple days, but I know I have to press on if I want to feel accomplished by the end of this first semester—it seems ridiculous that we must have work done when really Thesis spans the entire year.
