M/N (Spirit 2)

Me

M/N, who has a secret name, lives in the upper left quadrant of my skull & in the hollow at the top of my neck near the brainstem. She's an Ice Queen & a Polar Bear, both at once. She makes my head itch when I’m not listening close enough. When she first arrived I was 28 & she screamed for two days straight. M/N is the spirit of reason & everyday life. For that reason, I usually forget about her, poor lady. You readers can borrow her whenever you need her. She of all spirits gives excellent advice.

HerFinally! The long-awaited long-ignored underrated spirit-fairy speaks—Me. I was the second to arrive in your head out of three.I say this mainly for record-keeping. I’m a Polar Bear, I'm an Ice Queen,I'm a two-for-one psychotic being!Remember when I got here you could only hear screaming?You repeated “I love you” to quiet my grieving?I still have that love in my belly. It is my most precious stone.I give good advice telling you to be kinder, to listen to birdsbecause the world needs singing, to stop being uglywhen you’re being so ugly. Look at my glistening gown,my articulated perfect polar bear fur. Lookat how your lip corners curl. I am the goddess of good-looking-ness.I like lush towels and deluxe spa mist, I like your plasticmakeup kit. I like that you’re getting older.As the mistress of time, I like it.I like when the sun moves through the trees, but notthe smell of trees. Thank you for your body’s doorwaysfor letting me smell and see! When the hollowof your skull itches, don’t forget that’s mepressing a silent paw from the inside, ask mewhat is happening, I'm here don’t forget meI love you I don’t want to scream.
