Little things, little things, tiny spices that live under my wings. Miniature pricks in my sides that grow wide, consuming my hide in rainbow tides. Was it I that chose this life long ago? Within the womb or with a thumb in my mouth? Or was it before, on a quiet afternoon, that I chose to bleed pretty phrases rather than red pools? Who was it that gave me this? God or my own mind? No matter, no matter... I am here now, with this blessing... curse? I can never decide. But I live in these flowers, these roses with thorns. I live in this winding world of word. I suppose I am happy. No, not "suppose." I am happier than the sparrow singing its "good morning" song! It is only a curse when my heart hums a bird's tune, and I must write it down before it loses its plumes. It isn't a hard choice, I must say: the work of a rusty gear or the world where I have nothing to fear. I cannot remember the first time sparrow trills filled the fray, so I am led to believe I was simply born this way.

I am Anodyne, Anodyne, Anoyne, Anyone... My name is Anodyne, my name is Anyone, I am Anodyne, I am Anyone, the figure in the mirror, the child who sees her enlightenment drawing nearer, all these fears becoming clearer. But who put the words to a page matters so little, so very little. All that matters is that those words sit there, clear black against stark white. Who am I? I am Anodyne, I am Anyone. I am a healer of sorts, a creature that takes the broken shards of reality and reassembles them into something new, something old. But that does not matter, my face doesn't matter, all that matters are these words. These slashes and dashes on paper are all that you need to know of me. My face does not matter, my skin does not matter, my structure does not matter, my loves do not matter... for why would you ever need to know those rose petals when you could enjoy the aesthetic of this rosebush, my works, my words? You do not need to see my face and know my voice to fall in love with my narratives and rhymes. You simply need to read them and see a world beyond your biases and perceptions. See this world I have grown from nothing? It is all you will ever need to understand about me. I am Anodyne, I am Anyone. Who needs to know any more to experience what I speak, what I write, what I dream?

A girl died in 1933 by a homicidal murderer. He buried her in the ground when she was still alive. The murdered chanted, "Toma sota balcu" as he buried her. Now that you have read the chant, you will meet this little girl. In the middle of the night she will be on your ceiling. She will suffocate you like she was suffocated. If you post this, she will not bother you. Your kindness will be rewarded.
