Odyssey Chapter 1 The Garden

A tingling sensation came to her hand. It was like a thousand tiny swords were stabbing her there over and over and over again. But she was enjoying her sleep. It was so comfortable. So safe. Safe from… Safe from what? Her eyelids flew open and she sat up, her vision blurring as a head rush consumed her momentarily. As her vision cleared, she managed to get a sense of her surroundings. She was in the middle of a garden, and a strange one, too. All the flowers seemed to change in the dimming light of the sun, fluctuating and returning. Shakily, she got to her feet, her head spinning. Safe from what? The question remained in her head,

Amnesia

White. The room is white. White as snow. No. It is not that white. It is not a beautiful impurity. It does not glow with cold strength. It does not hold fragility in its arms. It is clean. It is perfect. It is sterile. It is sterile. She sits up slowly, and her arm automatically moves to assist her. It lifts for a moment, and then she allows it to fall back with a dull thud. Her other arm is numb with imagined pain, and she looks over curiously. Intravenous Stand. IV. With a quick pull, she tears the needle out. It slides free with a feeling that makes her stomach churn. The needle is slightly bloody, and the liquid still drips with a

The Clockmaker's Daughter

She was murdered. Murdered? Yes murdered. The doctors convened around the table around the young woman that they were to examine. There was not a single thing upon the woman's flawless body to suggest that such a thing had happened. She was perfect. But how? Don't know. She just was. That's not evidence, Doctor. I'm aware, Doctor. They ran their hands along her body and tried to inspect for needle marks. Perhaps it was with the needle that had caused her death. No, there was nothing there to suggest such a death. Poison, Doctor? Perhaps, Doctor. They opened her mouth with their plastic hands to see if there was any sign of poison.

Gypsy

Perhaps she'll drop out of college, use all her bank account money and take a train to New York. Or maybe Seattle, for she likes all the cafes, the art, the vintage. Perhaps she'll return to California and live with friends and tell her parents that she's still at university. Yeah, that could work. That's one way to disappear. Maybe she'll meet a rich, married man that will take care of her as long as she's good with her tongue and her curves. He could take her to San Francisco where being strange is the norm, and she could find home in old houses smashed together for equity's sake. She'll grow fond of small towns with simple heroes an

Nameless

I walk out of the tattoo parlor, clutching my wrist, thinking the money was well-spent. My friends walk quickly down the steps, eager to eat, be full. At the next story down there is a man huddled in the corner, ripped, dirty coat wrapped tight around his crumpled frame, worn out sneakers, stained sweatpants, fraying gloves. My friends don't really notice him, or pretend not to, but my heart squeezes a bit as I turn the corner, clutching my wrist, believing my money was well-spent. But at the third step I shudder with selfishness, heartlessness, pray to God that I don't turn into judgment and lack of humility. I swivel around, nearly fal

Literature

Dreams

A caustically fabricated memory sets a spark in the first exhalation of morning (afternoon?) and she has the urge to cry. To think that dreams -nightmares- could hold her heart with such terrible claws (but the thoughts of him hold reigns so tightly on her back; he knows many pretty women, and it's only natural to worry after the undressing, the holding hands, the crying in front of him). To think that even sleep, once repose, could beckon tears and heart-shivers and immobility. She ponders why, all of a sudden, sleep is frightening again. Perhaps it's the empathy of her nature. She feels heart-wrenching guilt for moments long past; sh

Stories From the Psych Ward (1 of 3)

It's 2a.m. and I can hear the nurses' footsteps down the corridors, with pools of light streaming out of their torches like car headlights in the rain. Tonight is long and lonely, and voices wash over me in the dark. Night checks, and rays of light pour over the sleepy shadowed forms of us, into our eyes. Each black silhouette, the shape of a patient in the middle of a dream. I can feel insects crawling under my hands but I can never dig them out. Early morning cups of sweet black tea bring a sense of comfort and normality to being an involuntary psychiatric patient locked up in solitary. Sleepless nights lying with outward

The Seizures

Skye has a seizure at dusk, and we're alone. I hold her wrists down so she doesn't fall from her hospital bed, turn her on her side and hit the nurse distress button screaming for someone to help us. She's shaking uncontrollably, and the bracelets on her wrists move in a discordant lullaby. Then it's over, and the nurses come and check her pulse, her blood oxygen, her motor control. She can talk again, but she's confused and doesn't know who she is. She can't move her legs. I stroke her hair and tell her where she is, help her slow her breathing, and help the nurses. Our roommates return, and she starts seizin

Skye 2

I lead Skylee through the halls of the ward; my hands nestled into the crook of her elbow to hold her close. And I wonder if it's beautiful or lonely in her world of darkness.

Literature

Verwurzlung fern von Beton und Staat

Blauer Himmel und weiße Wolken Trotz Dezember Im Dezember. Ich lächel nach oben Und das Leben in mich. Nicht mein Leben als Explizites, Sondern das Leben in uns allen. Ich begreife viel dieser Tage, Ohne dass mein Sprachzentrum mitkommt. Ich verbinde, was kluge Menschen sagen, Mit verschiedenen Backgrounds, Ich verflechte Gedanken Und es gibt ein größeres Bild: Nur ein Teil und eine Möglichkeit. Verwurzlung fern von Beton und Staat, Sozialisierung bleibt, Aber Knoten lösen sich.

Rebuild Me

My supernova exploded, my coronal mass ejecting, leaving me a shell of myself, a neutron star core rotating— swiftly on axis, unbalanced, shifting about and wobbling— aimlessly through the universe, desperate need of steadying… I feel your hands touch along me, your strength restrained while timidly you grasp to the shards, the strongest, those that have endured fragilely, afraid they may break, or shatter, if you hold them too securely, but still you clutch on without pause, these pieces of me, steadfastly. The next thing I know, you begin, with a painstaking devotion, shards are fit in place one by one, constructing my n

Your Lovely Bones

I long not for your words or your flesh or your smile, Just the white of your bones, their crescent curves, Pressed hard against my hungry lips. I would claw through sinew like freshly dug earth, Could guzzle your blood like communion wine, If only to peel open that which cages your heart. My fingers ache with unrestrained lust, To touch where your skin becomes polished and carved, And play you like piano keys, Till the age-sharpened edges make my skin weep in shards, My breath still and heavy, dead in my chest, At the thought of my blushing cheek Resting on the rising ridges of your torso. I dream nightly of sleeping amidst your

Dark Bride

There's no heavier burden to carry Than the weight of a life unlived Never been a darker bride to marry Than the one who would waste their gifts I have but one desire That's to regain the fire And to this I aspire To again feel the pyre To let the flames climb higher There's no sadder sight to behold Than to watch the dying cinder Never a tragedy that's been so cold Than those who would do naught but hinder There's not a more lonely night to wait through Than to keep glancing at the door Never a more painful tear to kill you Than to see your dark bride once more

an atheist's prayer

dear god, i planted no tulips in autumn and no tulips came in spring. how silly of me, then to mourn the empty garden, to long for fields of amsterdam, to kneel at night in cold dirt, hands folded. i’ve learned there is a certain ache in lacking a thing never had, that small itch whose relief is two seasons past – so god, if you can hear me, know that i am homesick for amsterdam, whose name, like yours, i know but whose flowers i cannot see.

On self-love

Maybe who she really loves, is the name of the boy she thinks of, while she lines her chatoyant eyes with charcoal maybe the name she really needs to think of, is her own.

Literature

Unaware

When you are two and five and ten you are unaware –– of the cactus in the windowsill, how, fragile, each quill bends and breaks and falls apart.–– Twelve years later, on a Tuesday, you dream about a boy who bumps his head on an iron slate and you wake in a cold sweat. You are twelve when you are always bumping shoulders. Twenty-two years of Thursday. There is nothing at all. And you wonder (and you wonder why) each time you wake. The cactus in the window bleeds with you when you bump it. No one ever mentioned frightened things bite. So you have always been unaware.

ripples on a blank shore (#15)

in rainbows with a petrichor veil; you've caught my breath in palms covered in dandelions' dust, my longing, an uncovered explosion of drafts hidden from the both of us. but i reach out, knowing wind-chime silence is a possibility as it has always been; knowing the doldrums of my harrowing echoes could be the only reality i'm pressed against, but i'm more than willing to risk my heart and expose it to the weight of sorrow if there's a sliver of a shot that we can be together. suspended in the contingency of the unknown, i hope your wrung hands red with distortion & blue with disappearance, make your way back to the greying soles of my
