an idyllic sickness

by Jordan Trethewey

“[…] a groundless sadness called forth in a person’s heart by a pastoral landscape.”

-          Haruki Murakami, Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage

December holidays are a

struggle when first groundless,

away from home. A sadness

based in nostalgia called

homesickness, comes forth

with good-time composites in

idyllic waking dreams. A

utopia that doesn’t factor in a person’s

constant change rate. If the heart

is the compass we’re lead by,

the mind uses repetition as a

way to adjust in a new pastoral

landscape.
