Possess. Can’t get the word out of my eye. All those S’s, sister here to these charred matches. What is it, the meaning behind “to possess” and why can’t I see it? What at all can we ever really possess? Possessions? And then there’s that other idea: what does it mean when we are possessed? I think something possesses me now. Nameless- screaming a name that’s not a name at all- though I still know it well enough not to mistake it for anything other than a progeny of anger and rage. Wicked and without remorse.
