I am haunted by a funeral, a pageantry of mourners and tears that I can only barely remember. I am not certain, but I suspect the funeral may be my own. The mourners are masked in elaborate disguises. Feathered and ribboned and silk. If I know any of them, I don’t know that I know them. The flowers arranged beside the casket seem to carry some meaning, a meaning that has nothing to do with me. And yet… I feel myself drawn to that casket, feel that it belongs to me in some way. My dream self lingers among the incense burners, awaiting enlightenment. ©2023 Daniel Ausema. Narrated by Stefan Rudnicki. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Daniel Ausema | What Passes for Eyes in Dreams and Death

It is the duty of every adult who lives in the City of Thorns to walk among those thorns and submit to the wounds they cause. On their return, they must allow the priests to read those scars for the good of the city. Catrix sets out on his first scar walk, and discovers that the thorns are not what the priests had led him to believe, but wilder and more dangerous.  Narrated by host Matt Gomez.  Published in Metaphorosis on 15 July 2022.  Find the original at magazine.metaphorosis.com.
