Perfect bound
As soon as my eyes close, I’m besieged by waves of blood. A piece of
flesh floats in with the tide. No panic, only silence and then the sound
of the bloody debris when it comes crashing into my wall. I’m a
rampart. An enclosure. A stronghold. Very strong, and I’m afraid of
nothing. Certainly not of blood, of its stench of warm entrails and iron
dust.
Tomorrow I’ll gain what life will lose: defeat of my body – of the
teeming power of the body – that will disgorge its excess of blood and
return me to myself, alone, cut off from all lineage and with no line of
descent. Being done with this tension in my breasts. Done with the
stigmata of your existence and all those that pass through me in the
place where you cling. Done with being possessed like this,
double-stitched, overlocked, woven into a web that covers me like a
shroud. Tomorrow, it’s the women in my family, their tide of hemoglobin
A, that I’ll abort. Once the pills are absorbed, I would wait to be
delivered. Alone. Free of all lineage and with no line of descent.
Eternal. The genesis and the lack. The apocalypse and its angel. Now and
forever. The point zero. O.
