+Yuzu
+2023-04-25
+
+***
+
+It looks like
+you and I
+will be parting ways soon,
+Yuzu.
+
+You saw me through both colleges
+in Hell
+and on that sunny hill,
+pushing through Fryer's Inferno
+under the gaze of a manager who told
+me to go kill myself all the way to this
+cubicle where I sit in terror's grip
+and not a moment less.
+
+You witnessed my dysphoria peak,
+the first time Jett reached
+out a hand to raise me from the sheets
+even though then I did not yet know her name,
+chaotic blood's first fallout, the blame,
+escaping mid-night with every written work I could lay
+claim to. You knew me as Rinea, Ikky, Lucine,
+my legal name, my throwaways, Lethe.
+You saw me poke at the universe's edges, analyze
+myself under a microscope
+flipped around, freak out at every new surprise,
+its possibilities, its burdens, its fresh sorrow.
+
+And what is the reward for this? A box
+in the mail from the carrier,
+packed up soft
+and tender
+and given to the nice lady at the post office.
+After that? Could be anywhere.
+Recycled and stripped for minerals
+or refurbished and sent to the other side of the world.
+Someone less fortunate who can't afford newer.
+I hope her soul shines
+bright
+like mine.
+I hope she's a girl
+in bitter need of a drastic life change.
+Who knows, maybe our paths will cross some day.
