Swimming round as the rain comes down
This is the Astrid that was featured in a much earlier post. I'm attempting to figure out what to do with these particular characters and if it's worth pursuing. This Astrid is much different from the earlier Astrid...
The Wall has Fallen
There is a huge wall and Astrid is inside the house in the bathroom. The house is next to the wall. She is getting ready to leave, in a mask. As soon as she walks outside the wall is being destroyed.

Put the tint on, cover it well
exposed will never work
[Cover it up well]
High cheekbones and a rosy glow
[Masked aversions]
her mask
The wall has fallen,
the wall has fallen
astrid
Quick sew the patches back—
my jaw has come unlocked.
A painted on face
[a presentation of self]
is all that’s left; a colorist sees shade/depth
block me in primary.
her mask
Hands and limbs are under bricks
the wrecking ball is tight and strong
the impact exact—
a self is here, and then here, and over here
[none a full composition]
astrid
Go, fetch the limbs
pile them up nice
go for the gore, scrimp on the shoes and tattered cloth
[quantity of whole] anew
her mask
the jigsaw puzzle has come unlocked, unhinged
is severed—build anew
start again. [Throw me out]
refuse the scavenging
astrid
Permanently tinted
a stain on my iris eye
this world seen through
a wooden fisheye lens
