Project Notes:

Carefully, slowly, drawing the shroud at my feet up over my body, over my face, over my head.

Lying still, not moving, barely breathing.

For as long as possible.

And then very slowly sitting up, the cloth dropping back to my feet.

To repeat the action of burying myself.

Again and again.
