nightporous
/ˈnaɪtˌpɔːrəs/adjectiveVerified NewAlso in: nachtdurchlässig (Deutsch) · nocheporosa (Español) · nuitporeux (Français)
Porous to the night — letting the dark, the quiet, and the dream-logic seep through the day's defenses.
The nightporous person cannot keep the night out: the three a.m. thought arrives at the meeting, the dream mood seeps into the afternoon, the quiet of the dark is missed in the bright office. The porosity is not a weakness exactly — it is a permeability, and some people are built with it.
Etym. — night + porous — the material metaphor for the night's seepage; porous is exactly the state of letting a substance through.
Rel. — nightfluent · dreamhomesickness
