The Time I Forgot My Body Can Only Take so Much
<p>At one point in my life, I allowed someone to take my mattered heart, of blood and cells and electrons from my precious body, while my spirit danced. They supercooled it in liquid nitrogen.</p>
<p>Held it up with gloved hands, in front of my eyes, went to the second-story balcony, and flung it into nothingness. Until it smashed into the somethingness, a million pieces on the wet Dutch concrete.</p>
<p>No one noticed but me, because no one looks up. He laughed and left, slamming the door behind him. The walls shook.</p>
<p>There was no comfort in this world, the drizzle — <em>motregen</em>, spit into my bones. And frankly, there many times my body wanted off that second-story balcony to follow my frozen heart.</p>
<p>Just smash me into a gazillion pieces and set soul free.</p>
<p>My soul had other plans. No matter how desperate life got.</p>
