the earth's jest never putrefies. atlas revels in passing away -- to mollify the unpleasant burden that has crushed his bones for so long an epoch, to be reborn and have his calloused feet back on top of the titanic sphere -- while the princess remains apprehensive of doors, wary of every creak and click, and bleakly clings to her own mortal thread of life, the flimsiest of strands ever known. so she expires.

her soul murmurs honey-bitter, herb-sweet words
for centuries into infinitely-slumbering, empty, unborn human bodies. mulishy, it waits for any reply -- the flutter of an eyelash, the tap of a finger -- until one arrives. it does not dilly-dally and seeps into the nostrils of a soft, small shell of an inbound life. sand from the hourglass falls again, and she grows in the spotlight, before the camera, atop places most only see in reveries. but her recollection of the past is defunct, and so when solitude props its icy limbs on her shoulder, through the film strip, she sees things she once deemed inexistent.

at first they are petty -- phantoms gliding on the edge of her sight, tendrils of black in sparks and quivers... and then they grow. smiles and frowns folding in and out of crumpled script pages, and then hallucinations of colossal towers and obnoxious cackles and stolen tiaras, and then wisps of ethereal songs and things that never were.

she knows naught about her borrowed soul and the princess who once owned it, so she keeps quiet. the ghosts of the prince, the princess and the witch crawl under and above and round the confines of her cranium, knock-knocking, moaning and groaning and pining to be remembered. and so one day, francelle wonders out loud: "who else hears it?"

"hears what?" he asks (ignoring the sounds ringing in his own ears, sounds that seem frighteningly like his own), bringing her tea that came from the ground, where everything from the past thousand years -- green and animate; dark and dead -- lay, waiting, sulking. she shakes her head and with proficient and practical fingers brushes aside the voices and visions from the worn-out slush-flesh inside her skull.

"nothing," she says, but
faintly, in case he doesn't really exist. "i think i just lost myself for a moment." his eyes disappear as he smiles, unconsciously ruminating when they would both turn to dust and sulk with the rest of the waning past.

get in to get out

the thought of me plunging into the darkness for hours on end (in the form of microbiology and mol fab) makes me want to slash my wrists, so that i can meet st. peter and his pet cock (or rooster.. or male chicken..) and be able to ask him (st. peter, not the cock) to allow me to be in the loving arms of papa jesus.


but then again, if i slash my wrists, it would be considered sucide, and jesus wouldn't like that; he would get so enraged that he would send me instead to lucifer, and be burned in that hot place of abomination called hell, with lucifer's red sizzling fork stuck right up my ass.

SHOT @ 10:11 PM BY FRANCE 0 FILM REVIEWS



"what a coincidence," he hums, and when she looks at him bemusedly, a muscled arm reaches out for the cup. he sips from the brim and swallows water and herbs and burnt ashes of fallen men. "i'm lost myself." artlessly, as their eyes catch, they wonder how many people all over the recycled world are lost like them.

a million other souls want out, and that is why humans dwindle, like the fragrance of rose amidst a field of jettisoned lives and emancipated final breaths -- all just as red and bloody. a million other souls know they are born in the wrong country, born in the wrong culture, reborn in the wrong era. a million other souls are blindly adrift, and so they writhe on their bellies, on the dust of their forebears, day after day (after day), awaiting the painful stint until their shadowy friend grazes them with his iniquitous, hungry blade.



one day, after a few intervals of eternity, she confronts the creature floating through her bones. "you sound tired," she mentions silently. the soul continues to grope her heart with its delicate fingers. "you sound tired as well," it replies, seemingly unperturbed, so she sets off again. "i am tired. your defense?" it skulks into the trenches of her brain and makes pretty with the exorbitantly familiar cathedra of its dwelling. "i am one thousand years old," it tediously mutters. dithering, she folds her hands over her breast and feels ten centuries' worth of sighs. "well, i guess it wouldn't be surprising when you've come to live that long." so she lets it be.

hiss-hissing and hush-hushing, strips of film bitterly slither and struggle in disarray, rolling, tumbling over each other like rubber bones. run through once, rewound for a thousand years, replayed again. somnolent, they lay wearily, waiting to be made real -- the same cast, the same plot, the same intricacies like the corollary of silver behind every looking glass.
