People who’ve had broken limbs can feel rain coming; and experience pain when water starts flowing. It’s the same for all broken body parts, not only limbs; I am talking heart too, kind of. It doesn’t matter if it was self-mutilation, or an outsider’s malicious act; once that part of you is torn, it is torn for good. It leaves you only with the premonition of the rains to come. So with clear knowledge of moving liquid, I slowly turned myself into a turtle and got into my shell; the happy thoughts that have kept me afloat since the first day, and undoubtedly will provide refuge until the last.
