I can hear it almost feel it this grainy, cut-glass resonance this thrumming that makes my inside teeth, chatter. It’s this ungainly thing about me that surpasses limbs and the inner-ear (although, stops to visit along the way) Mental tripping I call it…anyway Almost like an army of incorporeal white-blood cells ‘cept these aren’t white they’re old and withered, yellow like parchment paper and almost almost as cranky as the lady next-door Oh, and they’re fast very fast If I shut my eyes, I can see them jumping away, just out of sight when I look at them And I know what they’re doing in proper military fashion, they hunt. It takes them a little while (cause I change the location every time) but, eventually, they find this little vault – that I secret away. Happiness lives there behind walls of mental steel Impervious to everything, except.. these little. yellow. monsters Doesn’t really take long once they find it sometimes a day or two maybe a month depends, really. What gets me though, is that they never just devour It when they find It. (Apathy, is bliss – I know) No – they just suck It dry, leave it black and withered Dead. That’s the only reason I can come up with. ‘cause I was happy a few days ago, but now… now it’s gone. There has to be a medical term for this, somewhere something other than Insane |

Hmmm - always a hard thing to respond to... your poetry. On one front, you write well, and I enjoy it. On the other is the personal aspect of knowing you and wanting to hug away your miseries. *SIGH* Quite the question you've presented here ms Nic, and one I wish I had an answer for...well, other than Prozac.

Nic, you simply blow me away with how far your writings have progressed. In my normal male density, I failed to equate this identity with your other one, thinking 'oh, someone's using the same name as Nicole'....go fig, I know.  I think I know the name of those critters: albio-hemogoblins.
