“I don’t know where I’m going to go, or how I’m going to get there.”

Fumes On A Brain Injury
She knew what she was doing and had identified the unscented lotion correctly to refill the unscented applicator.
But afterwards, she found that she had somehow, instead, refilled it with lavendar – which then initiated an internal panic chain reaction.
(Close-in object identification tracking going haywire)
Hysteria
“Bouts of giddy physio meltdown crisis reactions.”
“And There’s No Fu**-ing CAKE!!!” Misheard Lyrics To (Concrete Jungle – Bad Omens)
No Availability
“Ok, well then – not going to a walkin-in medical clinic today…”
No Cookies, But
“Across the way from a different, unattached building, a neighbor approached me, asking about “smoke” now infiltrating into his unit as he sought the source – with same ideas that I originally began with, and without knowing about my own unit’s problem.”
Where
“Can I leap to?”
Smoke Smothering
“I mean…
Eventually, you just stop breathing.”
Priorities
“If one is dying quicker, well, that’s a scary feat…
But, meanwhile, the stomach hungers as the mind bckons for more sleep – even as cells ache.
Is there anything safe to invest in?
Can anything – including perceptions – be trusted?”
(Set The Fire To The Third Bar – Snow Patrol)
Desperation Moves
“I am being pushed to move too soon.”
“Gasping For Breath”
“Literally.”
I Would Have Preferred
“That my new housing has offered a positive haven.”
Split Shift
She had to continue rearranging internally as she fragmented into disociation as could feel chest compartments shifting in order to keep enduring toxicity inundation.
Starving To Know
“That’s just it, then?
It’s the waiting…
And the craving…
And the stretching too thin?
I Had Wanted To Cook,
“But instead came home to the house still reeking of dog urine.
How?
Why?
Where?
Who and What already having been determined.
Turns out that the lining under the couch has been sagging, so this absorbed much of – as well as hid – more older large pools that had traveled and gathered under.
Thus results another hour or so of dedicated labor to cutting out the lining, mopping, and remopping over the area and onto any tracking I’ve created while managing.
And I find myself realizing, “I just can’t do this anymore…”

(Like Me – Nikita, The Wicked)
“‘Livin’ The Life'”
Brimstone
“As I woke up around twelve pm to another round of the cat yowling on my one day “off” there was no way for me to get dressed in time to get the wolf out, so she peed again in large puddles that ran into and under furniture.
Which means a whole ‘nuther effort-layered, careful mopping venture while I have her tied to the front door, out of the way, eating breakfast as I navigate – and I’m sitting paused and writing in the kitchen, noticing pain in my cells from carrying overload as further fume toxins pour in around me from the sink walls because I need to have the air filter turned on.”
Stuck In Place
“I should have gotten boxes for sorting and thinning out items – but they were to expensive, and would have absorbed more of the smoke fumes smell.”
(No Room For A Saint – Dom Dolla ft. Nathan Nicholson)
There Is Responsibility
“In any important decision.”
(Disintegration – The Cure)
Disintegration
“Trying to rebuild while everything is falling apart around and inside of me from toxic fumigation and increased societal stress and pressures is like trying to grow new skin over aching wounds that keeps getting sloughed off from the festering, rather than healing.”
Emissary
The black jaquar padded forward into the masjid from its phazing, subtly seen portal, sitting down with no sound within the edge, and waited for her attention to acknowledge its form blending withon the sanctuary’s shadows.
Positioned to her right, it seemed to ask why she was praying to a man’s desert god as her tears glistened with heartfelt emotion.
She had asked to know the truth and to be guided along her own soul’s path in her struggles against societal resistance to stay true to and advocate for a man far away in another land.
And now, a sacred cat from the lush forests such as those of Origin’s creation had arrived, giving comfort by its strenth’s warm, resilent presence, reawakening and reminding her of her own greater mysteries that were being traded for a life of indenturement.
Staying On Track
“Why couldn’t I before have tried the key on the vehicle door to try to lock it?
Because I was already overloaded tracking other time paralleling tracks.”
In Sickness And Despair
Next to her pillow, the wall still seeped in a more steady, sickly-sweet flow the fumes of toxic regret thick emanating from unrepetant lungs, flooding into her own with wide abandon.
You Know…
“I just want to attend to my garden!”
Angry At 2:30AM
“After hours of taping, trying to innovate salvaging our health by preventing toxic influx to increase better air quality, come to find out that the wolf has peed so much in a dark part of the front room that I did not see it until after I tracked it – and then I had to mop the whole front of the house.”
Skin Mottling
“From continuing exposure to fumes.”
(Memories Of The Seas)
Waiting For You
She found herself at a different house, on a different hill, and a man closer to her age that she had known once was vital, like she remembered when he used to complain of wanting to lose a few pounds.
He was “up to his old tricks,” finessing in his professionalism as he always did so well.
And he was still well situated and longing for that “perfct” person to come play a partner in life with him.
She dreamed that happy childen came to visit because he knew much of the neighborhood community, and she was losing weight there being in a neutral environment without cirtisol constantly hitting.
In fact, her curves were about to be, for once, eye popping.
But she stood there in the middle of what felt like artificial tranquility – which is something that only the financially established can simulate.
There were no threats of danger beyond mere challenges of the stock market and managing consumerism.
She could stay here, “forever,” and be provided for as just a version, a fragment of herself.
And she had to admit that the thought of letting go of her struggles to just become a place holder without conflict somehow seemed tempting.
But she told him she wasn’t “dating” until after the new year.
Still looking outward on that internal shoreline, she was aching for another, and waiting.
I Know What To Do
“It just took so much effort to get into here – and it’s going to take so much more to get out.”
Open Your Hands
I Don’t Know What To Do
“I am so tired of fighting battles…
But I have to get out of this rental situation, immediately.”
They Say, “Stay Curious”
“But I do not want to explain nor experience these added symptoms to my injuries list.”
Is It Ironic?
“That the small diffuser has now absorbed the smell, so is thus magnify-recycling the ashtray presence in humidity activated with original intention to help aid breathing easier??”
I Feel So Ill
“From this cigarette ash deluge exposure.”
Well,
“I’m gonna have to take things to a next level with this poisoned housing situation…I can’t live like this – literally.”
I’ve Had Enough
“Seas better part – that’s all I’ve got to say!”
What I Need
No OutLet
“It makes me mad that my attempt to draw in fresh air just brings in more of the bad.”
(If You Could Only See – Tonic)
Babe?
Can you turn off the light and bring me a blanket?
Love you.
Dropping
“Like a stone.”
Hon,
It’s funny how they’d expect me to just let you go because you do not fit into “expectations.”
“They don’t know me very well, then – do they?”
(Bug’s Bunny reference)
A Store’s Name
“Aren’t ‘Halo & Ivy’ kind of the same colors?
Oh…I was thinking of ivory…”
My Life Summed Up
“Constant outpouring of good and efforts to help others…
Receiving some good, some neutral – and frequently taking hits of heavy damage.”
Tearing Into Me
“One minute things are fine – and the next they are gripping, locked on like a Rottweiler.”
