woe is (you and) me

the world swims back into focus like this: pieces that start small, like fragments, then come together to form larger pieces, slotting beside each other until the cracks disappear and the individual portions meld into one giant image - which wavers before Yarra’s eyes, elusive and not quite tangible, for what might be hours or days or years. eternity. then the pain slams into her with all the force of a bison, and a muffled groan is pulled from her ruined throat as red and black dance unceasingly across her mind. agony throbs from every part of her, all culminating into one awful fuckery of painpainowwhathefuckwhypainwhenigetmyhandsonthatslimyfuckerimgonnaOWfuckingOWW -

she lifts her head for a moment, decides actually no fuck that, and flops back to the earth as she stares dazedly up at the sky above. it’s a pale blue morning, birdsong twittering in her ears and butterfly sunlight falling across her in delicate slants. it’s a mockery of a thing, to lie amidst such tranquil beauty while she filters in and out of untenable pain. against the picture-perfect backdrop she is an ugly wound, a gash of scarlet upon a perfect morning, sucking every last ounce of beauty from the scene like marrow from bone. her pelt is the colour of drying blood, her ichor leaking into the grass in macabre rivulets of liquid ruby.

after several minutes of laying perfectly still, a bird alights on her nose and she doesn’t even have the energy to snake it up, too injured to lift a paw against the feathered onslaught. in fact, she merely lifts her chin and basks in the aesthetic value the bird provides; she must look wonderfully tragic, reclining elegantly as blood seeps from her veins, eyes trained to the sky, a crow warbling mournfully from the sharp incline of her snout. death incarnate. a woman undone.
