Human
by Eden of @the.autisticats I. she is not human she is super-human too human to be human the humans turn away II. she moves incessantly she is the motion of the wind the banging of branches on window panes in pain begging to be let in III. the wind starts a fire inside the wind wants to be wanted it feeds the fire the fire grows it stirs the air IV. the wind picks up speed the fire screams she roars ripping out the glass it crashes, forms daggers V. the humans see her for the first time: a hurricane of heat VI. they turn away

Sailing Blind
by Eden of @the.autisticats it’s you and me here, sweetheart you and me standing in this makeshift boat we got in together because the sea goes on forever but forever’s too long for these splintered oars i didn’t know what was happening the night i crashed us into a lighthouse and you fell in, and onto the rocks and i fell backwards when i heard you scream i pulled you back in but you wouldn’t let me touch you it hurt too much so we sat there soaking wet crying and cold both wishing you had stranded me the day i told you i was sailing blind |
