Dark Cursive


She's been living at the edge of her humanity
most of her life

There were moments
when a desire held her attention
and then it would fall up and she'd sit back down

Why risk imperfection

Those moments stopped

She came to the bottom
and began to wrap it all around her
those warm and easy familiars

Her passions wouldn't've be able to find her in that
her castle of comforts
even if they weren't dying

She's settled in deep
made her pact with
"it's enough"
and
made a home out of insta-joys
and the occasional self-inflicted orgasm

Something's peeking at her
through those bricks of years

She could feel it
a feather tickling her brain
the leaves of smooth bound trees beneath her fingers
and the cramp in her hand

The darkness wants to write
