24. “Eight Eight Eight”
When Madoka died I began to see the horrible numbers everywhere. Eight. Eight. Eight. They took on a different meaning, a shade of horrid symmetry. The driver was eight times over the legal limit. Eighty-eight glasses of beer. Madoka’s little Suzuki had a cheap break pad with eight mounts instead of twelve. She was crushed […]
22. “One with”
I wanted to see the ocean so Madoka drove me all the way to Tanabe. It’s a small city far south of Osaka that hugs the coastline perfectly. Our drive passed easily with the good company of CDs and canned beer. I rolled down the windows and rested my knee on the half-slitted glass, feeling […]
15. “Lunar intervention.”
See, the rot is what separated and separates us. It is the decay written into the lines of molecular lore. Simply, it is the death of the universe. I remember the first time I learnt of heat death. I was in my final year of University, squashed into a little theatre somewhere inside Kyoto’s prestigious […]
14. “They Are Fictive Memories”
The sky is full of animals today. Lots of stingrays and sharks, weaving together like the threads in a dress. They siphon air through their lungs and create little vortexes in the clouds. All together they hover over the City limits and I sit underneath to bask in their transparent glow. Sunshine filters through their […]
10. “Yue.”
You tore me open when you entered the world. I wasn’t ready and my shredded body is proof of that. Eight hundred and eighty eight minutes of labour. I’m not exactly sure how much blood I lost. Two litres seems to be the liquid threshold between life and death; I was close. But at the […]
8. “Undersky”
There is a jellyfish somewhere in the shallows that burns like a galaxy through a telescope. In the water it flows like a white and red and blue gem-soaked wind. To find it, you need to dive off the coastline. Night has truly set. I hit the water hard, feeling the slap of the sea […]
5. “New and Final Life”
The waves are on fire, lit from within. Water pushes between my legs to vortex into streams of colour. In and out the tide curls and drags the luminescent sea around my body. I am a rock feature to disrupt the flow of life, nothing more. Utter disruption. But all around me I see tiny creatures […]
4. “Carbon to Carbon love”
Teeth rip into the fleshy dome and pull the jellyfish apart like a jigsaw. Cells scatter in sparks as the Sunfish ravages the jellyfish into ribbons and ribbons. A cruel fate; from the hands of one land monster to the jaws of another. Jellyfish parts fold and curl inside the fish’s mouth, a precious parcel […]
