I AM alive - breathing.
Alone, I can survive; together, I fly to the other me.
Unattainable.
I AM a witch - seasonal.
A meandering brook, a flowery bouquet, vibrant and effervescent.
I AM dead - rotting.
Together, a fowl stench; Alone, I soar to the other you.
Reachable.
You are a witch - delusional.
A burning building, a shattered mirror broken and cursed.
We are alive - breathing, rotting.
Existing, resisting.
I AM - all you are, and who WE will ever be,
AM I ?.....

Freyja's Falcon Feathered Flight
Perhaps it was the Captain coming back from the cockpit, or perhaps it was the naughtiness of the moment that made Rani feel a sudden and irrepressible need for sex, for the touch of sensuality, perhaps even some pain to extenuate the unexpected erotic experiences. There was no doubt that this beautiful Persian-born woman was in grave danger of being overwhelmed by her mischievous thoughts and her carnal desires.

Day 4 of Quitting
If this is how sobriety feels, maybe it’s better to go through life a little buzzed… this, along with other hits like, I want to kill myself, I wish I was dead, and I’m going to throw myself off a bridge have been the only thoughts on rotation these past few days. I promise myself that if, in a month, I still feel like this (‘this’ meaning despondent, full of rage, and simultaneously numb) I can go back to smoking. Until mid-February though? Nicotine is off the table.
