Time Digs All Graves

The other day, I scraped floor tiles up to make way for new, and now this blister on my hand is healing painfully. I have used no medicine: robust health will do well enough. "Vast, immeasurable Time brings all hidden things to light/ And then covers up what's been revealed," wrote Sophocles, and it seems more true as the days go by. I'm at home where my cats are, but my feet are cold and somehow I know that I'm a long way from home.
