Today I hugged myself
It made me smile so much!
For I imagined your smell,
While simulating your touch.
To you I lied.
As you boarded a plane.
Promising to come home with you,
Oh! The pain.
Selene all I ever wanted for you,
Was a home.
Where we could drive your mom crazy
As she complains on her phone
Our daily shenanigans,
And expression of love
Drove her mad jealous,
I swear, to every god above!
She would have killed me!
If she got not a boy!
So abracadabra! Here’s Steve-Austin!
Her bundle of joy!
But as storm clouds roll in,
Deeper into depression I’ve sunk.
I can only cry. Missing you,
Here on this bunk.
If guaranteed I could see you,
I would walk ten million miles!
Eat volcanic rock for breakfast.
For dinner? Bathroom tiles!
Make snowshoes,
From elk bones.
With my bare hands,
Melt stone!
Survive ten heart attacks
Pus hypertension!
Open wormholes
To the fifth dimension
Just to give our family portrait,
As resurrection!

Rachel Reviews: The Spiral Archive by Pieter Hendrik
It's difficult for me to know where to start with a review of this book as it was, for me, an entirely unique experience and one that I'll probably never have again. I don't want that to be interpreted as unenjoyable but it has left me scratching my head a little and ruminating on its content, its themes and its characters.
