Literature
autumn medley part one
Swift moving
I glide,
hips poised and swing swing
Faster says that little voice
the sweat turns to icicles on my lips
this is hyperspeed
pure energy
they absorb it as I pass
entranced
or maybe that's just me
I've never felt so alive
Under the trees I move like a leopard
Watch me dance on blades,
You watch me.
I'm faster that Courtney love into the bottle.
Then there comes the rhythm,
That second rush and time stills
I am past this place
But so much entwined
This is my moment
These are my trees, and the multitudes of foliage and life attached to them is as much a part of me as the hairs sewn into my scalp
Old friend sit
You'll never be a supermodel
Shiny red lacquer sneer
She said to me
Looking down at my amputee legs
And I'll never tell her about
The lipstick on her teeth
But my bowerbird fingers click
As a pencil hits the ground
tap
And all I hear coming out of you
Is russian
And it speeds red and angry
Out of your sinful mouth
A snap burns the air
Which soon finds its way through
A rupture of bone.
Heat bleeds
Leaching from the exposed mind
Giving way to eternal cold.
The body wanes, slows
And fails, life consumed.
No floating above your body,
No dark tunnel, no bright light.
No distant relatives or long dead pets
Waiting to greet you.
Everything you've ever heard about
The afterlife is a lie.
Spirit bound to the flesh
Indivisible.
Trapped, prisoner in a useless body
Forever.
Self conscious, observing the passage of time, though
Powerless.
The soul does not transcend,
It is the sum of all your parts.
Like ash and dust, it too decays.

my mum gave me a windchime to hang up in my room
for Feng Shui she said.
and i started crying, because i remembered things and i told her to keep the fucking windchime.
i miss her and them, and i can't believe i was such an idiot.
but i need to move on.
