I’m running a love mill,

I’m calculating supply and demand.

When you pop the bottle,

you’d think you could hear my breath,

ragged from the effort.

I’m highlighting my script

I’m rehearsing my lines

I’m forgetting my keys

I’m slamming the door

I’m leaving on my bike and

peddling ‘til the chain breaks off.

“Like any unloved thing, I don’t know if I’m real when I’m not being touched.”

[feral-ballad]

I have a crow inside me and no one can know. I can feel it all the time. It is like the entire night sky and all the stars and every beautiful sound you can imagine. It is like being too excited to sleep. It is like being twelve years old and stripping off my clothes outside in the rain. Savage. Girl. Suddenly awake to the deviance available in every ordinary moment. The possibilities of my current situation had not occurred to me before now. The freedom. There is a crow in my chest.

Anne de Marcken, from It Lasts Forever and Then It's Over

“I am so busy. I am practicing my new hobby of watching me become someone else. There is so much violence in reconstruction. Every minute is grisly, but I have to participate. I am building what I cannot break.”
