Five Ways To Look At A Tadpole
by Eden of @the.autisticats I. the tadpole pushes away its captor its protector the provider II. the water is thick with cold the tadpole wishes it could be as red as the painted sky III. orbs in the dark glisten and the tadpole thinks “once, I shined too” IV. frogs sing under moonlight the lake is deep and the tadpole yearns for a voice V. sand covers the tadpole gentle and rough an aimless satin sheet

Taking Up Space
by Eden of @the.autisticats two incidents at least, the ones that stood out the ones that took up space replaced mine like it’s okay, i’m a ghost of a person anyway. picture day and my backpack’s in the bleachers i get back, someone’s there where i was, where i should be. i climb up, move my backpack to the lower step. my friends return to their original seats. math class and the girl in front of me turns around takes up half my desk with her arm leans on her elbow takes her time, takes some selfies. she doesn’t speak to me. i disappear. |
