she/her/hers, mad prophet

Summary

I have been your mother, your mystery, your cryptid; but I am just another girl made of flesh, my bones shivering under skin. Most of my life has been lived in the dark. I miss the sunlight.

I write. I cook. I garden. I dance. I sit under the moon and look up and wonder if the stars would want me. In fits and starts, I unfold myself again and reach across the gap, waiting to feel your hands in mine.

I have survived, but I am just beginning to live.

Impressions

  • A bolt of inspiration in the night, the divinity of creation
  • A lost girl's journal, wanderings in the dark
  • Her hand on the pull chain of a lightbulb
  • Paper under a reading lamp glowing like honey
  • Old paperback books about stars and planets, black holes

The True Name

curtains of gauze cast in sunlight,
bleached lavender;
freckled stars and moons in orbit;
hair, soft curls in your fingers;
the smell of honey and thunderstorms,
your fingers around mine;
trembling in your ribcage,
your breath suspended in your stomach.

Recognition

  • Somewhat shy. People are strange.
  • Rambling, loosened thoughts. Slow, deep breaths.
  • Slowness in general. Patience, everything in its time.
  • Actually notices smells.
  • Over text: mixture of formal/stilted language and casual language, tends to drop a message and then disappear.
