Here’s our source for this week:

as low as this, as dense as this,

like your whole world has gone back to where it began

and you wonder how you got into this mess,

the kind of mess you cannot see an end to

as if it may already have ended very badly

and all you can hear is the sound of your own name

spoken deep inside your own head,

it is probably best to step back

from whatever kind of brink you imagine

you have reached

and think about something else,

something small and practical

like boiling an egg.
