Experimental PieceA Story by Brenden BowI don't know. Figure it out.“Be careful what you do,” that’s my suggestion to you. My
dear, I waited for you. I prayed for you. I actually, honest in the face of the
All-Consuming Truth, prayed for you. Such things aren’t in my natures, you know
that. Yet, throwing my shackles aside, I did, all for the sake of you. I prayed
for you because I made a wish, a wish upon a bloody scar. It came true. I
should’ve known, not been so foolish, dreams don’t come true, never come true.
If they do, they turn to eerie, transcendental nightmares. They turn to
hatred-fueled terrors so jaded, so awash with their own, self-erasing
pseudo-charm they begin losing the element of fear they hold so dearly, turning
to nothing more than inane, drivel-spouting bothers. “Be careful what you do,” I’ll say, for I no longer gaze
down upon you. Beside your form, after you paid the Man of Slumber a visit, I woke
- each and every end-fated morning. Saying, speaking our sweet-nothings, Lord,
those were the days, weren’t they? No? Well, my dearest, I think so. I’ve
kissed Death’s salty, chapped lips since you’ve been away. I’ve swallowed the
sun. It hates me, that big, mammoth of a glowing orb, bubbles my flesh. “Be careful what you do,” for line’s end is dauntless,
quickly coming for you. Icicles will turn to stalagmites and the mountainous
rubble will become the ash in my pipe. The breath of wind, he, that old codger,
will fall, cease, forevermore. All of that, just like you, is at line’s end.
Your train’s reached its pre-determined stop, mate. Be careful what you do with…. The point, which I found after
sifting through this blithering, babbling nonsense, is: My dearest, Hatred, what
we fight on now, these cold barren wastes, they mean naught. The cosmos’ dance,
this laughably absurd oceanic sky we wish to swim, it means zilch if I cannot
impale the moon with a glance. Furthermore, I hate hatred. I, as a shadow-defying
aside-show, make hate with love, and kick the blood-sucking, bone-gnawing dogma
life slaps you with. I bind, cut, slice, and then I laugh. Laugh, ha-ha. That’s
it, laugh. Laugh, damnation, laugh with me, sing with me! Rejoice, for you are
blessed with the Inferno! Go to Hell, Hatred, my love, we can share adjacent
operating tables. © 2012 Brenden BowAuthor's Note
