i found that i am not entirely human, and a strange calm seemed to wash over me. everything and nothing made sense, and i thought about dazai: was this catharsis what he felt every day of his life? i was surrounded on all sides by all kinds of people, but only i stood alone. the sea of bodies undulated and laughed and crashed and cried out, but i stood on an island, alone. alone i stood and alone i stayed, until i washed myself ashore. there was no great pain in this departure, yet my body seemed to create tears on its own, as if it had expected a stronger response. the tears fell, but in my heart i felt nothing at all. my voice quivered, yet the usual pain had not come. have i finally shattered into the million pieces i wanted to become all those years ago? gather me up in your arms, and you'll find room for two hearts in the shell of my being.

and in my stomach i feel worms where i should feel a pouch of berries. and on my face i have etched violence. i should have lathered with softness and bright. and these legs give out, and these eyes are blackened, pushed back into the sockets
where is the body? what narrative does it pull from the ashes? what do i believe about this limbs? what sin does the spit spell?

I’m empty all of me is empty you kept me filled you kept me stilled the waters rushed to the shore became flush reds and violets and bruised skies cream saucer eyes I’m empty all the time you kept me going but I’m empty all the time

I fell into Eden without any eyes, scales cut my ankles, a fang pierced my thighs, the sun was singing in tongues, the moon would never rise, I heard the ocean waves come apart and meet again, I heard the morning doves drop into their graves and peek out their heads, I fell into Eden—not land—I fell, and down the swirling tree I went, hanging from my core, from my neck, the blood on the apples, the hiss curled all around, I fell into Eden, I fell all the way down
