Faute de mieux

A piece of mine called "Faute de mieux" was included in Toyon Literary Magazine Vol. 67: De Dos Lados.

 

You can read the full issue here. An audio version is on Youtube and forthcoming (I think) on SoundCloud.

 

There's a poetic romance to circularity and cyclicality, but there's also a doomsome quality to these things.

 

When our thoughts run in complete circuits, perhaps this rescues us from incessant plotless change. This is comforting because change can feel fatal. But circularity is also fate.

 

Or so I was ruminating as I drabbled out this small story.
