This made me feel like I didn’t get it.  Maybe I didn’t get it - it seemed to be a description of the moment, during a depression, when a person overcomes the depression, however temporarily, by simply intending to do something and doing it - in this case getting moonlight on her.  I’d like there to be more to it - more context (like the reference to abuse and the reference to the phone) and/or some more indication of what the moonlight represents.

The phrases I liked a lot that I remember are “mirage of intention” and “merry-go-round thoughts” and “silver fingers”.

It’s really evocative.  As it is it’s most like a kind of poem… As Dave says, there’s not a lot of context, but if there were more of that, it would make an interesting story.  Maybe the first person part that is already written, interspersed with a dryer narrative, maybe even in the third person...?  I dunno!  I don’t feel like I get it either, but it’s got something!

Or do I mean a drier narrative?  I can’t spell or think very well, I worked for ten hours today, whine whinge whine. 
Please send me a new dryer.  Thnx. ?)
