Zombie Queen
By RubyXero
Faded...
Drifting intricate webbing
through euphoria
and this dulled out abyss.
Unresponsive. to the pull.
"Mom! Hey mom watch this! Look what I can do...
Mooooooom;
are you awake?"
Her body feels hot. Clamy
hearts
racing as though she were sprinting for
her life.
But her eyes
wander sl o w l y ,
unseeing as though she were
on another plane
completely.
(Just let me bask in the beauty
of this numbness, if but for just
one moment.
Mayhaps one (day.
Would a month be too much?)
**but I don't understand.
I
just want to play!!
Maybe she could just see ME
once in a while..
Where is she... anyway.. **
She's
infront of her screen again...
Hollowed eyes gazing beyond the wall.
Inspired? ...maybe, this time...
Distracted mostly
uncalculated.
Missing the point
but trying from every angle.
May I permit. to enquire...
Is it too much passion? that bulges her lungs
and suffocates her eyes? ...or the lack thereof.
.
"Mommy you are a princess! Just like me :D"
"No, darling,.. I'm the queen."
...
"Hey mom! Can I play outside?
I need some fresh air for my heart.
What you doing mama? You have to pee?"
.She moves
the credit card
away
and covers up the powder..
"Now just give me one minute dear,
Mama needs her privacy..."
She moves close.
to shut
and lock
the door.

The resilience of childhood..... the forgiveness of childhood..... how I sometimes wish that they carried over into our adult lives.... you made me feel it with your work above though. Not sure if that was the point but its power took me there.

oh to be in the zone, but i think what kind of powders under that credit card is what makes or breaks it! i suppose a night of recovery or days from recovery makes the difference in powders. but i loved it, but i dont think you'll ever feel rested on that shit when theres kids that need tending. awesome!
