secretly better.

About Me

She basked in her own gloom and sweat. Summer had never been like this, she thought. The year wandered through the seasons without a shiver or a sigh, coats or stockings. She could never remember anything before the ever-present now. This was a debilitating state.She pushed the screen door open, caught it, and abruptly shut it again. There was nothing out there, she thought. Nothing she hadn't seen before, nothing that would shake her back to life. Might as well stay inside, feed on my own head with all its gremlins and nightingales. I'll sing myself lullabyes and never wake up again.The night always came by surprise. She was sad that the day outside her window had been taken for granted, that she couldn't just wish it back and keep the creeping black at bay.Lamps were pointless. They sat, edged up against a chair or dangling precariously from a wall. They were mute burdens of fancy and she laughed in their dull faces when ever the bolder of the two tried to out-do the sun (whom was sleeping.)The girl liked to sit on the floor. The floor allowed as much sprawling and flipping and lolling as one could handle, and for this she was grateful. When she laid in bed, she secretly yearned for the well-trodden wood beneath her feet.Considering her angles, she believed herself obtuse. No fitting necessary, and no one could change her mind. Simplicity was its own form of beauty. She looked at the black angles crossing themselves and then crossing themselves again through the dirty glass. Creatures crittered on the lawn, looking like anxious old women. She told them to slow down, to enjoy it, but they never listened. They always came back.She sat, just like the day before and the day before that, waiting. Waiting for destruction, for tenderness, for epiphany, for atonement, for sanctuary, for degradation, for disaster, for divinity, for the key, for mystery, for anger, for murder, for crucifixion, for punishment, for the mail, for creation, for anything that gave a damn. But nothing gives a damn about you if you don't give a damn about something. She sat in the shade by the tiger lilies, and said nothing...
