“Twofold," Seraanna gently replied, “one of action and one of... curiosity.”

“In what was intended as an equal exchange, I was instead given a gift. One that brings its own... temptations, a finger taken from the monkey's paw. But a finger, as a child will gladly demonstrate, allows one to make their own will... writ upon the surface of this world. Provided,” her expression grew briefly sly, “one has the appropriate ink.”

A quiet hum before she spoke again, "Of the... other, I only listen. Sometimes they speak, with voices that near a unity. And they do not... always lie."

Obsession

found in every corner

Obsession

in vanilla sugar in water

Obsession

inside the gates and under the roofs

Obsession scrutinised

screwed, crew-cut, hands tied

eyes rolled back rolled forward

“! Ay díos, ay díos … Ay díos !”

Obsession scandalised

scantily clad

dressed in wet lips

Obsession analysed is

love annihilated

Open eye kiss, dead fish swim...

This? This that I feel? This is obsession

to be your sea

for you to drink me blink me

shit in me,

“free”

I tell you you are free

but what can you be without sea? (Without this hopeful me...)

Ultramarine obsession,

a seed hidden in a cesta

it grew, it grew like everything you touched it grew,

green in veg purple in bloom

my plants bear the wrong fruits

I pluck confused and taste amused

Obsession, obsession your thighs are bruised

Obsession in the dirt

Obsession on the shores on the stones

Obsession with milk with salt with bones

Obsession with the Moon who moves the sea and bowed to Rome

Obsession full of prevention, precaution, preservatives, pre-cum

I laugh

I'm a fucking maniac, a man-actor, boy

is this all I ever knew?

Obsession with a capital M,

draped in white flowers,

Obsession, your alias is love,

your dress is red, your knickers are black

you bend over I see your abscess, just like my abscess

I obsess and you tap your cheeks, pam pam pam.

Obsession drains,

it leaks a spermatozoid perfection, a keratin confession

whispered on words your shadow speaks

Obsession undressed and laid bare

In this vacant stare

I see your soul half and whole and untold

But sold as shared

My obsession cares – more for your words, yet

My heart captures your actions – for you're the bird that sings songs so sweet

To my plants

Then leaves

These gentle lyrics on the breeze,

“Your heart is strong, when you feel love's depth

It will close your heart, like your first born breath”
