Human - Eden

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 - Eden

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
