â Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar
[text ID: I took a deep breath and listened to the old brag of my heart: I am, I am, I am.]
đŠđŤđ¨đŠđĄđđđ˛ đđ§đ đŠđŤđđŹđđ˘đđ§đđ â how can they be put to the test in the face of the unanswered question ? đđ¨đđŹ đđĄđ đŠđŤđ¨đŠđĄđđ đŹđđ đđĄđ đđŽđđŽđŤđ or does he see a line of weakness, a fault or cleavage that he may shatter with words or decisions as a diamond-cutter shatters his gem with đ đđĽđ¨đ° đ¨đ đ đ¤đ§đ˘đđ ?  /  PAUL MUADâDIB as written by amanda
sb: damn girl is that a knife in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
chani: i am happy to use this knife on you immediately
â   muahdiâ,  a giving & a taking.
the first memory of water :    the blood of the mother  / the tears of the son as he is cut from her. & he does not know , & he does not see , if the vision is his past or his future, cyclical, repetitive and addictive :    a green-eyed boy staring through the window with droplets of rainwater scattered throughout the glass like stars, the dunes grey and dull beyond it. a man and his blue-within-blue eyes under rain in the desert. the water dark and thick upon the sand, looks much like blood. but muadâdib knows that water is this :   the transparent shape of loss. there is a distant sadness that fills the room like a bad smell. & @sihayni, who is his chani stands in the middle of it , nursing the wound-broken animal of her grief, the only thing left that makes her a mother.  what is grief translated into ? grief cannot be translated. it exists.Â
& his own body is a dry landscape in which grief dies quickly, no light reigns inside him now, a valley of bones & shadow knows only anger, only indifference. but his hand reaches out to touch her cheek all the same, skin to skin and her tears to his fingertips, touch for the sake of touch, & gentle for the sake of her.  â  this water will not be wasted, sihaya, i promise you this.  â Â
how sharp does his knife twist into the one he calls sihaya!  and how dull do his words fall when so often do they sweeten.  there is nothing to do for her ache,  that blood - shaped loss in the belly of her.  it looks like prophetic dreams of bowls filled with blood spilled over,  the moon sapped of light,  swollen buds bearing no fruit;  and it all tastes sour like curdled water,  like shed life,  pouring from between her legs emptily.  his chani looks at him just as barren.  just as empty - handed.
â  do you speak to me now as a god or as a lover?  â for he is neither to chani lately.  grief tastes as much as loss as it tastes of betrayal.  muadâdib twists the knife deeper,  no amount of gentle could lessen the blow.  she looks away from him now,  perhaps a betrayal in return for how it forces her cheek from his palm.  he feels cold to her.  chani touches her own hands to her face,  dew to her fingertips looking as shame.  â  do not come to me now with your platitudes.  are they not too late?  â

â   skyw4lkrâ,  a strange darkness.
night is falling fast,    the sun fleeing to west as if it knows the creatures that stalk under the moon.     anakin,    gifted warrior he is,   finds no fear in the things that go bump.     but fear is ambiguous to the situations he finds himself in    &   he dare not let his companion see the horrors upon the dunes.       â   we need to find shelter.    quickly.   â        /      @sihayniâ
dune quiets to the untrained ear.  her rolling knolls do not betray her mother lying in wait beneath those dusky rises,  but chani knows better than to trust the stillness in anything.  nor does she trust anything in contrast (  in truth,  she trusts very little ).  her companion is all movement,  an unbridled sort of action in his every breath,  and it makes chani wary.  still,  she concedes,  â  there is a sietch just over this hill where we may rest until morning.  follow me.  â

thinking about how chani has an inclination to bene gesserit abilities
this desert is unforgiving.  such is the way for untamed beasts,  this arid tempest proving monstrous with little yield to platitudes.  when you are borne of the very same extremes,  just as wild must you become.  and so,  chani.  and so,  this warrioress.  she crouches in the shade of his shadow,  chancing on its unmitigated form beneath a raging sun,  his postulating suggesting he will not break away yet;  in this momentary reprieve,  chani sits with very little sympathy.
â  so,  you change.  â how cruel,  this desert storm,  this scorched scourge!  she shifts her weight from one ball to the other ball of foot,  the easy lock - unlock of her knees silent and aching.  she is comfortable in discomfort,  just as dune demands.  when she lifts her eyes,  they are vaguely playful,  similar to the tone which spills,  â  or do not.  and remain here,  whining about it.  â
@deadt4lksââ Â Â â Â "i am not the kind of person i want to be."
she,  the brindling sand that shifts under dry wind.  just as imperceptible,  just as moved under harsh conditions,  just as freely roaming.  chani finds comfort against the high planed rocks which blister whatever skin touches their jagged expanses;  it is there that she is perched with her legs folded beneath her,  fingers outstretched in want for the thinning dust that climbs her seat like a gritty shoreline.  and from this spot does she regard her company with an otherwise guarded mein.
the light overhead turns,  an ever - present revolve which would bleach the ground beneath them;  it remains red as ever,  glittering in its seduction.  chani catches granules under her fingernails as she straightens her spine and sits up.  â  a storm is never gone.  â wise words borne of grief.  she still looks indifferent,  despite her moroseness.  â  not truly.  there are always storms.  perhaps the last makes you better prepared for the next.  â

â  snowreignâ, an unexpected draft.
@sihayni,  chani kynes.     the desert spring and the snow queen:  a tempest brews upon their potential meeting.    a light thud on the floor is heard,  head turned almost immediately:    (slowly approaching the soundâs origin,  keeping a calm demeanor,  cold sweat dripping from forehead.)          ââ   whoâs there?  show yourself !    [filling the silence,   she continues,]    i mean no harm   â   iâm just looking for something.   it means for the survival of two nations.   please,  can you help me?  ââÂ
the stillness in the air goes uninterrupted no longer.  where quiet recedes does tension replace;  see here:  you are alerted to her presence because chani wishes to be heard.  and so,  that heavy foot.  in her palm,  which is dry as sovereign is damp,  the hilt of her knife not yet unsheathed.  â  you trespass on land in no need of saving.  â perhaps untrue.  yet chani withholds further claims otherwise.  not yet heeding any demands,  she remains unseen.  â  i need a better reason not to put an end to your good deed.  â
AN OASIS IN A SANDSTORM.
slowly slowly working on my carrd so that i can have information about arrakis, the fremen, and chani. be patient with me. for now, iâve linked to a general summary in my carrd.
