I am not on a cliff. Or
Drowning in a lake or
A river or even an
Ocean.
I am not falling. Or

In a Forrest of fears and
Dead hopes.

I carry.

I am floating.
Flying through the air,
Just waiting until I
Fall.
When I fall and crash and
Die.
When I can't keep on flying
And feeling as if everything
Were alright.
When my makeshift wings fall apart.
And I, along with them.

Tastes Like...
Daddy likes to make me
Eat my words.
I see him hit Mommy
And I know she hurts.
So I tell him, to get her
He has to go through me.
And, well, I can no longer walk
And I can no longer see.
Daddy makes me eat my words
And reality starts to flood.
Yes, Daddy makes me eat my words…
And my words taste like blood.

It was because her parents had named her for the grandmother who had broken her mother’s heart. The grandmother whose heart was supposed to have melted from her birth and hadn’t.
That was why her mother barely looked at her. That was why she called her ‘girl’.
That was why she liked to pretend she was the quiet woman in the background of an old black and white movie. Because everything here was like an old black and white movie.
[And if she really looked back, her mother had never appreciated the elegance of the 1950s enough.]
