Here I cometh

A hearty afternoon from this side of the time zone that suffers much in the set chill that promises to never leave.

Reaching at night into an icicle house that seemed sequestered from every earthly desires, with the most becoming tan that is mandatory this time of the year..my tan not the house.
A long sigh of something that was meant to denote that ho-hum here we are again, in the Sisyphean cycle where surely I'll find myself mangled and embedded into with not the slightest surcease.

So cold was it that it'd frozen every sound in place and in that noiseless aura of a hushed edifice I found myself huddling near the radiator that was just switched on.
Awash with fresh despondency and gloom my silent detachment was most audible and indescribable how miserable I'd been feeling.
I'd not had my fill of homestay and most of this so called holiday was besieged with endless personal work related travels.
Into this jigsaw of tight scheduling I tried jabbing blocks of I'll fitting pieces that allowed for a few prolonged hours of acting upon wishful thinking and even that most hurriedly.
No, I've not had my fill and thirst still to spend time home. There were a million unfinished things to take care of, and before I could stretch my smile into an ever encompassing gratitude to this universe for keeping me alive to fly paper aeroplanes from rooftops; the trip was over and I was waving away flight food.

Since my arrival not twelve hours past, I've been ceaselessly assailed by cryptic winter. Not a drop of sunlight nor moments breather from biting winds.

This morning could've been worse had the cat not woken me up with a welcome purr followed by burying himself inside my duvet, where together we slept until it was morning it is said.

Now? Now I stare in the face of my living room that's savagely conquered by what appears to be travel demons with open maws that stretch into infinity and are lined with cotton fangs of clothes and jagged hills of rare grocery items. Threatening with spillage if not unpacked at the earliest.

Sisyphus, devour me whole.
