it's not so much that i'm falling but rather i am being pulled milligram by milligram by some outward guidance other than god, gravity, or fate. i feel fingers pierce my body and move downward, thumbs getting caught in my collarbones but eventually finding their way home. they grab ahold of all my organs and keep them tight, as a cloud of warmth envelopes me and holds me just as i always wanted to be held. all my limbs weigh 2000 pounds each- almost exactly how it feels when you take one too many pain pills. i try to remedy this by lying on my stomach but my hip bones bruise my skin from the inside out- i am purple all the way through. (but only if you're looking close enough) because at first glance i am worlds away from human. i am something else entirely.
