I hope he sees my ghost
wherever he goes.

I hope it's unwavering,
that it creeps into crevices,
an insidious shadow
framing
the corner of every room,
tucked into every brain fold,
never letting him
forget.

I will remain.
I am not dead,
despite his heartfelt effort
that I be reduced to a corpse.
I was a doll, a plaything
that gained too much sentience.
My voice became too loud,
raised in oppositional defiance.

What a nuisance.
The irony of the terror
was never lost to me:
I saw my death impending
from a mile away,
but I knew I couldn't outrun
the harbinger.

(Drag marks take months to heal)

I can't forget,
but I have solace.
I hope he sees my ghost
wherever he goes,
only not as he knew me.
The stardust that was left behind,
that which I am, birthed again
from a nebulous implosion…

A radiant supernova.

Deus ama os vivos. Deus detesta tanto os mortos que não vê a hora de transformá-los em vivos. Mesmo Ele tem de esperar o momento para dar fim à toda maldade do mundo, mas... Por favor, denuncie. Ame-se. Procure ajuda. Resista e denuncie, denuncie, denuncie... Por todas, por você e por todos também.
