A DEAD CRYSALLIS 6

Deshawn Washington

"MY MIND, MY BODY ALREADY HAD BEEN AFFECTED BY MY DISABILITIES. THE NEW TERRORS OF A NEW WORLD OF INSTANT DEATH BY TOUCH, AND BY BREATHING WAS A NEW AND DANGEROUS THING." TO BE PASSED FROM NEIGHBOR TO NEIGHBOR, MAN TO CHILD, LOVER TO NEW LOVER, COMMANDER TO SECRETARY. I HAD ALREADY HAD THE VIRUS, TWICE. MY BODY WEAKENED I SOUGHT PEACE WITH MY MAKER, SOLITUDE FROM THE DEVASTATED AND SOLICE FROM MYSELF. I ALREADY HATED BEING ALE TO ABORB PAIN FROM OTHERS. BLEEDING LONE IN THE NIGHT FROM MONSTRERS NO ONE WOULD GET CLOSE ENOUGH, TO CARE, TO DARE FIND OUT - IF I WAS, OKAY?! SO, EVEN SO CLOSE TO THE JAWS AND MAW OF DEATH, I SAUGHT TO FIND OUT HOW QUIET IS THE SOUND OF DEATH? ARE THERE THE "KNAWING AND KNASHING OF TEETH?" OR PERHAPS 32 SECONDS OF AGONY I WITNESSED? TO DOCUMENT MY BIOGRAPHY OF MY DEATH, IS THE LAST MOMENTS OF NON-JUSTICE THAT I WOULD EVER SEE ON THIS INFECTED, COMPRESSED, BALL OF LIFE. FLOATING WITHOUT A WHIMPER IN THE DARKEST VOID OF SPACE.TO FIND OUT - IF THIS DAMAGED FROM THE INSIDE & TOSSED OUT- WAS TO BE PROOF OF THE HELL THAT WAS CREATED BY INTENT TO TAKE MY LIFE, BEFORE IT ACTUALLY BEGAN - THEN I HAD BETTER DOCUMENT WHAT SPARK - SHOWED ME IN THE INTENTFUL WITHERING OF MAN KIND'S EMPHAMY. I WAS ALWAYS OCCUPIED IN PAIN BY PHOTOGRAPHY AS WELL AS PAINTING AFTER THE IMPACT OF FORCE. A THING MADE FLESH. THUS, SUFFERING INTERNAL AN EXTERAL SCREAMS OF THE HEALTH, WEAK, RICH AND THE VULNERALBLE. WE ARE NOW - ALL ONE COLOR. - "WE ARE BECOME DEATH - THE DESTROYER OF WORLDS."
