Emmet Klaseus
The girl is not fully attached to her body which is not completely immmersed in this world
She is convinced there are parts of her missing from herself
“It must have started from birth”, she thinks
The girl’s mother holding her to her chest as if she was not just rejected from her body
As if the girl was not forcibly pulled out through C-section just hours before
Due to complications with her mother’s anatomy
But this is just speculation
She remembers the first time it happened so clearly
She was five years old when suddenly
The world sunk below her
Only she could see it
She didn’t have the language to describe what happened
So, she stared blankly at the changed world
Tears streaming down her chubby cheeks
Her mouth not releasing a sound
The girl is not fully attached to her body with is not completely immersed in this world
Mirrors have always eluded her
The girl can stare into them for hours
She could never quite grasp who was staring back at her
“Why do they look so lost?”, She would think
“Why do they look like a dream? Hazy and faraway”
The girl is always floating three inches off the ground
Tethered to this earth with only a thin twine
Like a red helium balloon
She has forgotten what it’s like to touch the ground
The girl is not fully attached to her body with is not completely immersed in this world
