Admiring a lovely little autumn
bird flying upon the young ultrasounds, she
chose\u2012 as always \u2012 to see the positive light over this
dawning novelty, knowing it was right, still
Ella tries to breathe away her foggy thoughts of
fear and joy, which come and
go with the rhythm of the waves provoked by the
heated, swollen lake foreshadowing the
initial \u2012 for sure not last\u2012 pain, when suddenly:
Jiggle … Jerk … Jiggle … Jerk …
knocking on the cold ground her
limbs mould the greyish shades of the stones,
meanwhile mummy\u2019s voice whispered: \u201cElla, look, there, a lovely little
nightingale, wake up, you will miss it\u201d but
on the cold ground her head turned round and round, triggering a
panic reversing her stomach upside-down:
quick a bench where she can faintly
rest, letting the palpitating memory
slow down in the knocking chest, while
tenderly putting her hands on the fading belly
underneath the red injured coat, she grasped the
vanishing life and though her weakness she
wonders if the union of
X and whys would have changed the
yellowness of her soul, but there she left the
zest, the open cage remains hollow<\/p>\n\n\n\n
until somewhere else, the seasons reversed<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Zoey (the Greek Jewish translation of Eve) Admiring a lovely little autumn
yawned on her hospital bed, while her body was
X-rayed, again, in order to check the
wanderlust of her blooming cancer (stage IV):
visible was only the soft skin of her deserted cranium
underlining her intense sea-sight,
that veiled the weakness of her body and revealed the
sturdiness of her spirit, which
rarely embraced moments of complaint,
quite rarely, even if she knew she would
probably die of this miscarriage \u2012as she called it\u2012 so
only her job at the Women\u2019s Health Center
<\/em>nursing broken souls would help her to
manage these muddy therapies, those she mulled over
later this day while strolling down the well
known lakeside, listening to the
joyful psalms of nightingales \u2012 her favourite \u2012 when suddenly, she stopped
instinctively concerned by the folded shape of young woman, whom she found
helpless and in a disastrous state, and
guessing the urgency, she took her
faithfully to the acquainted hospital, where
Ella\u2019s life could be saved and where Zoey\u2019s deepest
desire was enliven: she promised herself as long as she could, she would
care for the unfortunate loss \u2012she could never experience\u2012, giving
birth to a sprouting friendship, that unconsciously started to heal their
autumnal conditions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
