#decathect

[quotesengage]

There is a secret to decathect. Withdraw your libidinal investment in what you’re doing. It’s like putting on a space helmet and going around on autopilot. Emotionally, you withdraw, so that you’re not really there. Survival, eh?

From The House of God by Samuel Shem

@decathe-ct ; and I oft found myself sitting by Sorrow on a tomb-stone.

Caught within the throes of melancholy; the clime mild without a wind to blow, a starless blue-black omnipresent up above to watch over nightly wanderers and their phantom neighbors. Far from the roads, the commerce, the din of human life but ever nearer to human death---a place where loved ones dwelt in eternal repose, lost to the soil shroud. But she was not among them. The dead had other ways to speak, and upon him was the witching hour. But he’d not come for her, for the aimless dead or the ghouls. Escapism had, as of late, beckoned him hither and to the call he was without resistance. Nothing in his life but survival: what more was there to think about? Better a busy mind than an empty one---and, lo, he walked a lengthy journey on his own two legs to the site of human burial, seeking reprieve from grief only to surround himself with more. The whispering in his brain---he believed it in him, anyway---would at least accompany him along the way; be there when he arrived, be there when he returned to his dwelling in the morn, be there.

Stalwart since the start, he thought, and he’d known it not long.

Apart from the chirping of insect life, all was still and silent. So very dead, of course, save for he. His eyes may have failed him if not for the dark light of the clear, starless void---and a few scattered candles left lit that glowed their phantasmal orange glow. Someone stopped by previously, then. He spied the headstones, thought instantly of her while he’d known she wouldn’t be here. His eyes descended somberly onto one illumined by a candle. He hadn’t cared to read the words it bore, he simply moved in to place a hand upon it. Feel the cool rock, the surface smooth---he sought as much, but, damn it, he felt through feather-light touch a life long lost and mourned, memory of it nigh eroded and a spirit thus in grief. The throes of melancholy. Heart-gouging nonsense. 

It made his vision blear, his eyes burn, his skin wet.

His head inclines with the downward sweep of his ruby-red eyes, amusement blooming upon the curl of his lips. Serrated teeth as white as porcelain gleam, peeking insidiously from the crescent of his circumspect smile. “You know,” he begins, and his tone is already dynamic with a supercilious familiarity. He gestures vaguely with a patrician flourish of his gilded hands, his head cocking to incite the gentle tinkle of the chains that adorn his horns.. “If you wanted to make it worse, you could wear socks.”
