LEAVING THE ANTI-LIFE SOCIETY II
COMING?
Daniel Kendall cried into the wind. Spoke to nothing. Reassured himself.
I'M GOING IF YOU'RE NOT COMING.
BUT WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
The dark and dreadful voices of the past.
I'M GOING TO BE MYSELF. I'M STAYING WHERE I ONCE WAS HERE. WHO I WAS HERE IS GOING. YOU CAN COME IF YOU LIKE.
The voices, questioning, hesitant, complaining, unsure, selfish, fearful voices in the closet, early voices from the womb, voices from houses, from hell, voices trapped within the tarot, many voices, always there, whining, complaining, arguing, questioning, accepting, always telling what to do and never why to do it, or who he was, or how he was or how to do it, past voices and present, one more softer, more certain than the rest -
COMING?
I'M COMING, the wind replied. The suffering voices died away. |
