Dead Bodies Don't Cry
i.
You are born with twisted feet
and a pockmark on your chest.
Your poor mother is drenched in sweat,
straining to breathe,
thanking God that it's over.
She cradles you in her arms
and kisses your forehead with curved lips.
Your father reaches out to hold you
but has to pause because
your mother will not release you yet.
The family pays a visit,
hovering in awe, praising, laughing.
You look around for someone to blame.
ii.
When you learn to write
you use all the wrong letters
because you feel sorry for the ones
that get left out, like X and Z.
And you wear mismatched clothes
because you don't like the idea that
only certain colors "go t

Crossing Ariel
Your wedding;
you spoke your way toward it
one prospect at a time;
having not been
the cripple or whore,
you settled for
singularity, no future or past,
just announcement and umbra, joy in shade,
soft smiting breath.
How though did you put your children away?
Mylar-eyed,
squinting toward dawn.
If your days had been counted
purposefully,
perhaps you would have gone off
fatter, sated as a rook scavenging
in the quiet
instead of blindly staring out bread crumbs
like a gassed canary.
The shine of your boy's hungry mouth
did not dissuade your long whim;
to any call of loneliness
the answer was a towel,
clean and wet

autopsy
her spine was cracked down the middle,
her skin unraveled at the seams.
bloated lungs and an emaciated heart filled her no longer moving chest.
her eyes were still open
and her hands stretching for the last thing she ever saw,
though she'd never reached it.
no one knew the exact cause of death,
except the shadow of a boy who avoided her funeral
like it was a plague.

Quote is from Wasted, Marya Hornbacher.

This is my masterpiece, okay? I spent a week on this baby. It's my longest short story ever. It's made the most impact. My best friend, who never cries, ever, cried at this. It's apparently that moving. I mean, my heart was racing and I was the one writing it. Yeah.
This piece is special to me. In a few ways, Jenna is like me. The whole anorexic --> bulimic thing happened. Not exactly in the way I told it, because I never had a romance or nuffin', but yeah... That was me.
I got inspiration for this from lots of different people, things, stories, movies, music. I couldn't name everything. Wasted was a big inspiration, though. Everyone should read it in my opinion.
Anyways, if you did read the whole thing... thanks. I appreciate it. I know it's long and I know a lot of dA is made up of people who don't have the attention span to read long things, but I really hope you do and I really hope to inspire people and open their eyes about what it happening in the world.
Thanks <3
