Chapter 97
She swirls, her flowing gown kisses the candle flames glowing all around
A trail of tears wet her cheeks
Burning eyes blind her for a little while
A wind blows in, gentle at first, stronger a little later
Falling sometimes, floating at others
It matters no more
Curled up tightly, eyes closed, this is good
Shut out everyone, everything
She feels nothing, understands nothing
Questions? She has none
Answers? She needs none
Reason? No, they’re always excuses
Logic? … … …
The bottomless abyss serenaded her
She was entranced
Her feet discovered life as she found herself swaying to a tune that enthralled
Swaying, she was
Her feet hurt, she continued anyway
She looked down and saw her delicate feet bleed
She felt no pain
Nothing
A stray branch entwined her thin waist
It pulled her from one place, transported her to another
She spread her arm, felt the wind pull her one way, then another
Her porcelain skin tore in places
She just watched
Then she became
She was is
She is was
… … …
