Places That Hurt

It was 1st or second grade and I was at my friends house. Her father was in the yard fixing a cabinet so we decided to venture into the basement. On one of the foundation beams was a lean lanky dog, chained down onto the support structure. It gnarled its lips at us and bore its fangs. My friend told me to touch the dog, but i thought she was crazy and that it wasn't as nice as she said it was. She grabbed my hand and placed it on the dogs teeny cranium and thats when all hell broke loose. That animal growled and barked and charged forward in a rabid fury that created tension on the chains which bound it to the beam. Suddenly there was a crack, for it seemed the beast had escaped from the chains in which it was bound and proceeded to chase after me. I cant remember much besides running, possibly screaming before my energy gave out and the creature lashed out at my small form. It hurt and I cried and my friends parents and my mom came down to restrain the dog and help me up, I hope that damn thing got put to sleep. Her father covered my face in a damp towel and hastily drove me to the hospital while my mom wondered where the damage was done, if I had lost an eye. My mother called my father, but I don't think he ever came. The doctor saw me, told me I was brave, that I needed stitches, then came the HUGE needle, that stung like a million hornet stings all centered to a central location, but it was the anesthetic. I took a glimpse of my face in the mirror and saw deep red slices in the skin, one for each claw, and parallel was the skin that had been severed, just dangling at the bottom like raw strips of bacon. They gave me 6-10 stitches? I stayed home for a month or two, my class sent me adorable get well card and i had this ridiculous olden icepack, with a pillow thing on the bottom and a screw on cap where you put ice on the top. My mom stayed home to take care of me and I love her for it. My face is fine now, thankfully I was small enough to grow out of it, but next to my right eye, If you look close enough you can still see a small discolored patch of skin near my eyelashes, that is all I have to remember the moment by. That...and my memories.

Metamorphosis

I woke one morning from unsettling dreams to find myself changed in my bed into a Celebi. I groggily shifted to my side and stared out the window. Birds twittered and wove their nests amongst the mottled green foliage of the trees. My blanket seemed much bigger...and how curious that where my legs where supposed to be, there was no cloth covered bump. Upon lifting the blanket I discovered that my legs where indeed gone, replaced with...stubs?
"Cool Dream" I murmured. Okay now it was time to get up! Whoa! The floor sure seemed a long way down, now to just...what happened next seemed incomprehensible at the time but was occuring all the same. I was flying. Not really flying, just a sort of levitation that left my stomach all aflutter. In a trance-like state I floated in front of a mirror to glimpse at what i had become. I had inhabited a strange body. I was myself but in a different form. My skin was pale green with sparse sections of viridian like an elegant lotus.When i twirled around my arm-like appendages strayed behind me like small limp wings. Transparent dragonfly wings, delicate and insect-like twittered between my shoulder blades. The head was a teardrop shape with two slender stalks jutting outward. But the most magnificent of all was what was imbedded in the face, beady eyes the color of a tropical ocean, a vibrant turquoise hue framed by two thick black rings.
"Cere-Bi" I shouted gleefully before ecstatically jetting around the room. "Hmm now what to do, what to do...oh my gawd! There's school today!" I realized while trying to figure out how I would deal with this peculiar predicament. Unable to put on any clothes and unwilling to fumble through my siblings current attire, I flew outside and hid behind the bus stop hoping the students wouldn't notice. Then as the bus was leaving I latched onto the roof to hitch a ride to school because I had no idea how to get there on my own. It was exhilarating to whiz my the on-going traffic with my head stalk flailing in the wind. Now it was simply a matter of time before the bus arrived in the school parking lot, but i still had no idea how i was supposed to socialize in my current state. My voice was soft and cheerful as I exclaimed "Cere-Bi", and uttered my first human word..."School".
I had finally arrived so I snuck inside the building, stole inside the cafeteria and hid under a cardboard box so I could work my way over to my friends. Surely if anyone could sympathize with my plight it would be them. The box had holes punched in it for handles so it was quite easy to peek through and examine my surroundings. Cliques of students gathered in the halls so I stuck to the corners and managed to worm my way to the corridor where my friends resided. Marisa, Nicole, Monica and Envia where chatting wile G, Cimex and Becky stored things in their lockers but of course came the moment i was waiting for. Sam had just walked in and G hurriedly ushered her to the stairs in the corner so they could converse about the events of the previous day. "Hehe" I chimed as they approached. As soon as G started to say "Omg and then they" I popped out with a cheerful "Hey Gies!!!" that caused Sam to stare and G to careen Haphazardly to the floor. I couldn't help but suppress a grin when he did that because it was hysterical to him spazz. They recognized what I was but not who I was, even though they where quite familiar with what I had said. Sam of course being her crazy self proceeded to hug me so tight that a shriek escaped my mouth with a loud "Gheaa". She knew it was me at once for she had done this before and exclaimed "Ally!" while i desperately attempted to gasp for air. Suddenly my eyes took on a firefly glow and a telekinetic shield formed around my body protecting my small frame from further abuse. Amused by my new found power I flitted around and told my friends about what had happened and they stared in awe. Obviously they felt as if they where dreaming as well. They proceeded to barrage me with questions.
"How did this happen? What does it feel like? That's so awesome!" But much too soon the bell rang and we had to go our separate ways. Since I obviously couldn't go to class unless I was willing to start a commotion, I went off in search of a way to pass the time. So I decided to venture outside to observe nature and its beauty even though pollution had diluted its grandeur. When i stroked the ground wine like tendrils wormed their way out of the ground and wilting flowers bloomed. I thought of my friends and what they where doing and if I would ever be able to revert to my human form and live normally after this abrupt transformation. Maybe, by traveling in the past, I could go back to when i was normal and reverse the switch. I knew it was a power that I now possessed. Closing my eyes I willed myself to channel the strange energies coursing through my body. The environment around me glowed with an eerie pale green hue and the trees around me where illuminated with a rejuvenating light. Time stopped around me and then I was thrust into the flow. I was one with the past, the future and all that was to come. I was free to witness the complexities of life, the joy, anger, passion, greed, wrath, kindness and conflict that created our being in this ugly yet beautiful world. Thus I was thrust through the time stream and found myself back where it all started. Even though I felt lightheaded I woke up and saw that I was human once more. I was in my bed like the days events had never happened and it had all been a dream. Maybe it was...or was it?

I dont Like You

I dont like you,
You are like a thorn

I dont like you,

Crowding my garden of thought,
choking the life out of my creativity

But look, a four leaf clover~
Maybe I like you after all

Relax, (Jones Beach Poem)

Gray Blue Azure Sky,
fading into one another like pastels.
Big fluffy clouds like the stain of white paint.
Vanishing point filled by trees,
empty space filled by graying waters.
The froth cascades gently up the waves,
as it crashes onto the craggy heaps of moist moss ridden rocks
Rest your feet on the fragments of sand,
and let the waves wash away your sorrows.

Beach Haiku

Chill burning my face
Sea wind brisk and salty
Shudder to keep warm
