"I am not here for you. I am not here for anyone but myself and if I exude an air of theatrical ennui, it's not me, it's you. My name is Virginia. I am fifteen years old. I inhale; inhale; inhale. I am a god, a titan, a breathing, breathing thing: inhale. I was born of flesh and when I die, I will return to earth: twist, turn, hold hands, my hands. Sun, moon, earth, it's all over now. We are all invisible, irrelevant, of no importance, no weight, whatever. I am Virginia. I am fifteen years old. Muscle, bone, water, mucus, blood, flesh, me. Stretching, aching, expanding, detaching: inhale; inhale; inhale. It's all about anticipation. You are only what you think you are. nothing else matters, of no importance, no weight, whatever. I am a god, a titan and I am invincible. Blood rush to my face, the pads of my fingers, and I touch, know. Adrenaline is a love for climbers and doers but not for us. High on pixels and paper mache, we are artists and we are invincible, invisible and dying, irrelevant, of no weight, no importance, no weight, whatever. I am Virginia. I am fifteen years old, unthinkable, unstoppable and threefold: ANYTHING, EVERYTHING and SOMETHING."

I did it for him, his eyelids half closing when he slept,
and it was always for him. Not for god or money, it was for the crease in his brow.
At night he would play the fiddle and I could not clap my hands to his melody anymore.
I could only crawl between him and his troubles for so long, a ghost of a woman
I was only for him and his hands and his face like sandpaper between my legs. I was not for me,
not since winter when I had see his strong face ‘neath a crown of olives and petty thorns.
I was not for me, for hands teeth musk mourning.
His eyelids heavy, pulled like blue pebbles in a morning tide and I did it for that.
he is gone now and I have no hands teeth musk. Sexless, it is not a long way to fall
through the veil, to the dogs, back to teeth.
hands feet skull, pieces of me, I was not for me
and in the reflection in the whites of the animals eyes I saw his eyelids.
I did it for him, you know.
