Fractured
by Empress Penguin
Age Group: Adult
Fractured
There's this poignant scene in the movie,
Dancing at the Blue Iguana, where
this one girl calls up the owner of the club
and there are no words exchanged, all
you hear are her uncontrollable sobs on
the other end of the phone line.
Not everyone knows pain like that. You
have to have depth, letting go of perfectionism,
so that reality can turn you inside out.
Most people react when they see your eyes,
but that kind of stuff is lost on me. I know
pain by the way the body chooses,
the direction it needs to go in. The way a
woman can automatically arch her upper
back and neck away from a bed at a lover's
touch and not feel anything. I've known the
effectiveness of this insensitivity, it’s been
a lesson in survival.
Sometimes I feel heat in my hands, its
buildup energy that checks for that special
someone conscious of these changes that
take place within me, centered around
trusting me, loving me, without too much
expectation.
I think all of us hold the key to conducting
life with brilliance and understanding but we
choose to detach, letting the liaison bounce
off others without the purpose of connection,
of sharing. And so the same tasks start
to become tedious,
the same people, boring. And like the hermits
we can be, creativity is released on paper,
or on a stage, without integration into our
own lives. If I could hold on to the memory
of you, I would have no pain in longing
over something I was missing.
But something important just occurred to
me. I'm comfortable in my own skin,
with my own imperfection and I feel good
to finally identify this and let it out.
Sometimes relationships are for people who
need to be made whole,
because they're missing that one unique
flavor that completes their lives,
giving it a purpose, a definition, a name,
because they feel it somehow brings
them some semblance of balance. But me,
I have a different intent, a different sense
of being whole.
