The Rocking Chair


The Rocking Chair rocked. The friction upon the cream shag stained with cheap vodka and grape Kool-Aid. Thrift store furniture. I remember two. The first rocking chair was hacked to pieces a combination of drywall and the floor. The second rocking chair of real fucking wood. She felt mighty. She lived a few years so I was told with an ICD. Our Father who should be banned from Heaven broke as fuck. My Big Sis and I are humiliated on speed dial. I am ascending. The severity of our trauma. Four Generations of Trauma. Religion.

Death Row. The long corridor. One hanging lamp. Her feet suction cups.

Electrocution.

Amen.

Walking a fine line between genius and insanity. My words are raw, sometimes visceral and vulgar.  I write to settle my thoughts.  I have triggers that extract emotional immaturity and deep-rooted trauma, fear, anger, insecurity, and vulnerability. I heal with every stroke of the pen. Night Falls, I fear myself. I AM the monster underneath my bed. I do not wish to provoke you.  As you venture into my headspace, you ARE a willing participant.
