for hesitating at a threshold

℞ · domestic · at the doorway

one drop on the back of the hand that holds the key. step over the threshold with the foot one favours; close the door behind you before the doubt can return. do not look back. if forgetting is the cause — keys, gloves, a name — set them out the night before. the tincture treats the pause, not the forgetfulness. for that, a different shelf.


ingredients

if the threshold belongs to a room one should not enter, the tincture will refuse to leave the bottle. heed it.

see the door, the corridor, the ritual of crossing; for the forgetting that often accompanies, the forgetfulness shelf.
