《graveyard girl, a collection》waltz of the cracked marionettes
Advertisement
I am a girl touched so deeply by dirty hands
That I have forgotten what it is to be clean.
I am one step too many in the wrong direction;
I am forgetting, I am falling.
I am the moment that you realize they are the same thing.
I am the false bottom,
I am the city of fireflies that rests far below to catch the fall.
I am the shatter,
I am the spaces that rest between the stars –
The loneliest feeling in the world:
My head, my heart.
I am so full that I am empty.
I am so empty that I am full.
I have learned that if I say what I mean when I feel it,
It almost tastes like the last boy that I kissed and meant it –
The same one that is gone now.
I am the cough that rattles the birdcage of my chest,
A solemn waltz of cracked marionettes;
I am suddenly breathing so hard that it begins to taste the same as remembering.
I am writing another sentence that will no longer matter by the end of it,
And like that I am beginning to believe in the things that we do not say;
How these are the things that matter.
Smith-Corona spread across the rug, all cool sea foam green and heavy enough that I can tie myself to it.
My fingers can only find their way across the keys when my heart is broken,
When my head has grown too heavy to rest.
Sometimes I find that I am locked in a room with no way out,
Sometimes I find that I am the one bolting the door.
I am frozen inside a body that I still do not know how to make mine.

It's 4078, and you'd expect that humanity would have gone on, remade their infrastructure, and go net-zero carbon by now. Nope, us fleshy apes like our concrete towers sticking into the sky. There are these two countries near the Artic called North Hath and South Hath. South-Hath is rich in minerals, elves, resources, natural beauty, and most importantly; magic. North-Hath, on the other hand, is a barren wasteland but much larger. A girl named Wylinoris; with a past she can't remember quite well, lives in one of the coastal cities of North-Hath. But all that is about to change with a short gal named Giethi.
