Undone by rot.
DONT YOU WANT TO FEEL THE GRIME BUILD UP UNDERNEATH YOUR FINGERNAILS ? THE DIRT BRUSHING UP AGAINST YOUR BODY ? THE SHRUBBERIES AND PLANTS BRUSH AGAINST YOUR DECOMPOSING ROTTING BODY YOU LEFT , THE OVERGROWN MADNESS EATING YOUR SKIN , EACH PROTEIN STRUCTURE OF COLLAGEN AND KERATIN COMING UNDONE BY THE DETRITIVORES
SO PUTRID.
I WAS THERE WHEN YOU CAME TO BEING , I WATCHED YOUR BONES LEARN OF THEIR OWN WEIGHT , THE LOAM TOOK YOU BACK LIKE A MOTHER GONE RABID , PULLED EACH FRAYING THREAD OF YOU APART , YOUR VEINS RIP OPEN LIKE A SACK OF INFESTED LITTER , I WAS THERE WHEN THE BEETLES SUNG PSALMS IN THE CAVES OF YOUR CARCASS WRITHING BLISSFULLY , I WILL BE THERE , PERPETUALLY WATCHING YOUR FRAIL FLESH COMING UNDONE
I WAS THERE WHEN YOUR RIBCAGE WAS SPLIT OPEN BY THE GREENERY LIKE SPRING SOWED MADNESS IN YOUR HEART , I WILL SEE TO IT THAT YOUR ANATOMY WILL FEEL NOTHING BUT THE ECSTASY OF UNBECOMING , TO EMBELLISH THE IMPURITIES IN THE SKY IS LIKE TILING THE BED OF A ROUGH SEA , THE RECLAMATION OF NATURE IS TRUE REGULARITY IN THE MYRIAD THAT IS EROSION , EVERY CELL CRYING LOVINGLY UNDER THE GUILT OF FUTILITY
NOT EVEN THE WORMS WILL REMEMBER YOUR ATROPHIED SHAPE
OH , TO BE UNDONE SO INTENTFULLY , AND TO HAVE THE FOXGLOVE SIP FROM YOUR SPINE , SO PURPOSEFUL WE PREACH OF OUR CENSURES ON THAT SODDEN ALTAR , THE SINEW CLUNG LIKE PRAYER-WORN GARMENTS SINGING OF ITS LAST RITES , THE SWARMING CHOIR OF A PERVERTED INSTRUMENT YOU RENDER , WHAT OF YOU IS LEFT IN THE MOSS STITCHING YOUR SOUL SHUT , ITS PALE FINGERS SPREADING THROUGH THE EULOGY OF COLLAPSE , THE MYCELIUM KNOWS OF YOUR TATTERING LIGAMENTS MORE THAN YOUR BODY EVER DID
THERE IS NO POINT IN RATIONALIZING ME
I AM BORN OF YOUR INUNDATED HATRED
I WAS FORGED WHEN YOU COMMITTED YOUR ORIGINAL SIN
I AM THE BATED BREATH YOU BREATHE AMIDST YOUR BLASPHEMY
SELF-DOUBT IS WHAT BRANDED ME
DEATH IS WHAT AWAITS US BOTH SHOULD YOU TAKE HIS HAND
HEED THIS , MY RIDICULOUS SELF
THERE IS NO LULLING IN BETWEEN ROTTING AND VIRTUALIZATION , NO COMFORT IN THE COMPUTINGS NOR THE RUSTLE OF THE DEAD LEAVES , THERE IS NO MEANING TO LIVING UNLESS YOU GIVE IT YOUR OWN , UNDERSTAND THIS INEVITABILITY , BRACE THE PAIN CROWDING ANY NERVES YOU STILL MIGHT HAVE , BRACE THE LONELINESS OF EXISTING IN BETWEEN THE PALISADES OF BEING
KILL ME AND BECOME , MELANIE
Oi, mamãe, desculpa por não ter te escrito.
I'm going to ask my therapist to up my dosage, I've been struggling since he disappeared. I know you're scared, I know you have questions, I do too. I was really close to him, so I took it really harshly. I'm going to go to that forest we met, where we carved our names into the bark and slept under the spring shade, the leaves grazing on my cheeks. It's closure. I'll stop shutting everyone out, I understand it's high time I get to live again. I'm just tired. I found life in him when everybody else turned me away.
I'll be there at the next reunião, okay? Call me when you get this.
DID YOU EVER ANSWER , MELANIE?




Hey
But I don’t know how I feel about the big text.
definitely prefer this one over byte — while I felt that byte indulged too much in surrealist language to the detriment of expressing a difficult-to-communicate idea (which I view as the main appeal of surrealism, corruption of meaning through corruption of semiotics), I think this piece does a much better job just being an exercise in surrealist prose while also including a story at the end through the handwritten note and the introduction of our character's non-altered voice.
it really makes you wonder what the fuck happened in the forest (nothing good that's for sure) that would make Melanie so hurt mentally. who is "he", and does he have relation to the speaker in the surrealist section and the allusions to Christ-esque omniscience (particularly the parallelism between Jeremiah 1:5 and the 2nd/3rd paragraphs of the piece.) much better job with the second entry into this informal series, and I will be looking forward to new content.
thank u sm for the meaningful critique. it means a lot truly, and thank u for the honesty ill try to replicate the feel of this page with my next as well

I can't pretend to fully understand what is actually going on here (love that). There are mysteries, there are questions, and there are connections that I can't quite make yet. Once again, the atmosphere was great and I liked how you built the dread progressively and just never stopped. I also really liked a lot of the wording chosen and the language used in general, might steal some of it for myself lol. Everything really comes together in service of the #themes. So yeah, safe to say, I'll be awaiting whatever comes next. +1
