She wanted to visit the fantasy worlds, To live with unicorns and dragons and elves, And every day, she'd bury herself
In a book, In the dirt, In a chair, Six feet under.
It was really all the same.

She was a fly, Buzzing outside an ice cream shop On a burning summer breeze,
Wanting to fly towards the stickiness, Past the door, into the blasting cold, Never once thinking of, Once she got in,
How she would find her way back.

17. “Powder” He’s the unnamed little boy Who stole from street vendors in Rome, Who starved and froze during the winters, Who collapsed to sweat puddles in the summer.
He’s the unseen little boy Who ran the news from camp to camp, Who coughed on sand with every breath, Who gulped up water at every stop.
He’s the unknown little boy Who had a life we cannot know, Who died from things we cannot say, Who cried for things we cannot feel.
The ocean, The wave, The ocean once again—
Carvings on tree trunks, Handprints on cave walls, Faded imprints in the dust.

18. “Whisper” She never wanted to leave, And he never wanted to stay, And by the time he had learned She wasn’t the problem, She was already gone.

20. Alcanzar Estoy buscando. Estoy buscando para tí. “Donde estás?” no está importante a mí. “Por qué?” es la pregunta que quiero saber.
Por qué? Por qué? Por qué?
Por qué no estás conmigo?

"Quiero mi mamá." No está aquí. "Quiero mi papá." No está aquí.
"Ustedes olvidaron?" No, mi hijo, no. "Ustedes me olvidaron?" No, mi hijo, nunca.
Eres en las estrellas. Eres en los ojos. Olvidaron, mi hijo? Es imposible. Siempre es imposible.
"No estás aquí." Quiero volver, pero-- "Te olvidaste?" No recuerdo la última vez que--
"Ya me olvidaste?" Hijo, por favor-- "Ya me olvidaste?"
Quiero-- quiero-- "Pero no lo haces." Necesito-- necesito-- "Quiero mi mamá. Quiero mi papá."
Acuéstate ahora, mi estrella. "Te necesito. Por favor, mamá, te necesito." Acuéstate, acuéstate. "Pero no estás aquí. No estás aquí."
"Me olvidaste, mamá?" "Ya me olvidaste?"
Es silencio. Es muerte. Porque no hay nada repuesta. Porque no están ahí.

"I want my mama." She is not here. "I want my papa." She is not here.
"They have forgotten?" No, my child, no. "They have forgotten me?" No, my child, never.
You are in the stars. You are in their eyes. Forgotten, my child? It is impossible. It is always impossible.
"You are not here." I want to come back, but-- "You have forgotten?" I don't remember the last time that--
"You have already forgotten me?" Child, please-- "You have already forgotten me?"
I want-- I want-- "But you do not do it." I need-- I need-- "I want my mama. I want my papa."
Go to bed now, my star. "I need you. Please mama, I need you." Go to bed, go to bed. "But you aren't here. You aren't here."
"Have you forgotten me, mama?" "Have you already forgotten me?"
But it is silence. It is death. Because there is no response. Because they are not there.

The mossy ground of the forest Itches against my bare feet, Trees shading me from the sun, Sweat dripping down my face.
My fingers trail through the water, Disturbing images, Colliding worlds, Or maybe just leaving them peaceful, Peaceful, unbothered by me,
And all those children, The millions of stories-- How many could have been told? How many collided to create me?
I don't know if any of them are happy, And I don't know if they're separate or one, But they feel individual, on their own, Independent and lonely,
And it has just passed midday, The sun is trailing downwards, And I'm running dry even though the water is endless, And there are so many more stories to tell.
How do I choose which ones? How do I choose who to leave behind? How do I choose to keep buried, To freeze under the moon, To drown in this infinite mirror?

When she plays with Barbie dolls, She makes believe they’re being kidnapped, And sometimes, that they die, Or maybe, they move away, Or run from lovers they don’t love, Become celebrities, Become criminals, Reroof their house, Quit their jobs.
They never cook, though. They never clean. They never feed their babies and say, “It’s your decision, honey” to a Ken.
Sometimes they fight. Sometimes they slap out of fury, Like those women in the movies, Fed up but never full, And then they stomp away, And they don’t come back, Because they’re searching for something better, Or maybe they’ve already found it.
Sometimes they cry, Or feel sick, Or act heartbroken because they are.
Sometimes they sleep, And they have dreams, The same ones as the girl, So she knows she isn’t alone, And they have the same nightmares too, And she gets to see them play them through, See the best moves to take, The best routes to run When she’s being chased through a forest By a group of raging boys, Or chased through alleys By a grown man with a knife. Dodge arrows and cats and burning metal. Escape the boy on the other side of the door.
She feels safe with those dolls. She feels comforted, even when she feels lost.
And maybe one day, She’ll get to live one of their adventures. But for now, She just gets to breathe.

Some days he felt like a Pinocchio, Wooden and stiff and not quite his own, Or maybe a puppet, With a mouth that could fall open so wide, His neck snapped with every word.
And it wasn't that he ever wished to be a real boy So much as he wished to stop being the one he was.

Her legs hurt from all the running, And his ached from the high heels, And in the woods, or maybe a bedroom, They passed each other,
Saw each other,
Became each other.
And he was hurtling through the woods, Running from Lost Boys and terror.
And she was wobbling across her bedroom, Laughing about heels and bad makeup.
And then they swapped, And they reverted, And they shrank.
And they returned to their nightmares again.

It's tragic, That she can look so beautiful, Even like that.

When the shadow took her, She cut off her hair with a rock, And deepened her voice, And pressed her chest down In hopes they wouldn’t find out.
In hopes they wouldn’t attack.

Perspiration, Dripping down his face, Cooling him, Fueling the heat.
He’s so tiny, so small, Tripping on his own feet, Stumbling in the hall, Hoping he isn’t caught.
They’re too big on him, The shoes. He’s too small for this, For hell. He’s too scared to show it, Himself.
Watch it blow up in his face. Watch it all explode in color When a six year old boy wears heels, And the whole world is watching.

Falling down, Down the rabbit hole, Past rotting staircases, Past haunted pianos, Past lazing cats And swallowed words, Past the sorrows and the heartbreaks, Past the feelings, Past the pain.
Rising towards the surface Of a world inverted, Breaking the water, Breathing the air.
We are funneled to this, by our lives. We are funneled from this, to our lives.
And I pray that they rise to the surface, Those two wolves, Two children, Two Others.
I pray they can eat and breathe.
I pray that somehow, Somewhere, They can be at peace.
That somehow, Somewhere, They can be.
