\nshe is on the spectrum; somewhere at the very end,
\nin fact. None can account for it but we\u2019re told
\nshe hums inaudibly in the octave of ozone, and lives
\nin an airlock, loiters in restricted zones, makes
\nuncanny utterances, keeps marine snails, crushes
\npencils into graphite dust, dances like it\u2019s the seventies,
\ntattoos the world\u2019s conspiracy theories onto uterine vellum,
\nstays up all night smoothing polymers under strip lights,
\nblinking. Rumours insist she has an eye for tactical missile
\ndesign and stockpiles blueprints, knows how to execute
\nthe perfect gem heist and leave fingerprints all over it.
\nHer party trick will make volatile hearts and auras
\nof loneliness glow in the dark; despondency shine black.
\nDreams of Violet often precede a wedding or a gas attack.<\/p>\n
