deshilachar

Se pasaba el día encerrado en ese garaje, rumiando ideas que no eran ideas, pensamientos que no eran pensamientos sino jirones de frases que se deshilachaban como la soga del barrilete antes de la caída.
He spent the day shut up in that garage, brooding over ideas that weren't ideas, thoughts that weren't thoughts but scraps of phrases that frayed and unravelled like the rope of the kite before the fall.
