SPARK

i'm here now

somehow with all living things

but i am not living, i know that already

something somehow

different

about me

i don't know what because i can't see hear smell

only think feel

feel:

soft impressions on me

getting harder

am i taking a shape

i'm being pressed like dough molded into something

THERE

suddenly i can see hear smell all at once

see:

man with long black hair

small girl with white hair she shares something with me i know

i look down at myself

woman with red and white kimono fan in hand

i flex my fingers they are hard and solid

not like the unborn i once was

solid hard matter

hair tied in knot

man with long hair says something it takes my new ears a second to realize

kagura he is saying

is that my name

kagura of the wind

must be my name kagura of the wind

i nod

speak the man tells me

i don't know what to say

something comes out

what is it

why did you summon me

my ears hear

is that me talking

my voice is low i can hear that

low deep

stuttering don't know how to use my mouth

man is talking

you are under my control

control

i am under no one's control i am free

did i say that

yes i did

i am a spirit

i said that

man doesn't look happy

but he laughs

cold unpleasant

shiver

kagura that is not your decision

my ears hear

it's not?
