(Listen to the song Codex by Radiohead to enhance your reading pleasure.)

The water is clear and innocent-Radiohead
My belly is a well filled with tears, unidentified.
The features of my face retract. I am a snail, under threat, moving back into their shell.
I breathe for safety.
This song, Codex, is beautiful. Beautiful like the transparency of people.
There is beauty in our pain.
I want to devour this song. I want to absorb its nutrients. I am famished.
I recall pain and suffering with a single feeling. And now I am here, aspiring for a tear of relief.
-The water is clear and innocent-
I tread in the water of my Creation, as I am held unharmed by the tears of my past.
Be well.
