Alone
I Child Sex
(Thivai speaks)
The door to a squat opened. Dawn flowed in along the carpet and the tiles of its entrance. A naked boy and a naked girl lay on the floor. The sun of blood and egg-yoke fascinated their almost dead eyes into waking.
For a few hours, a young woman who had been a maid had been sleeping in a large straw chair. A ray of sun, like a pigeon, walked up and down the tiles, then climbed up the hairy leg. She awoke, half stood up, stumbled to the kitchen sink, tucked the rags which were partly covering her thighs into another rag which served as a belt, took hold of what used to be a dishrag and scrubbed her face and cunt lips with icewater. The cold made her shake while the water streamed down her fat thighs. Under the rags, her two pillars of fat chafed each other into a heat which resembled the sunās.
In the evenings, the revolutionary Algerian soldiers drank themselves almost to death in the brothels. The houses stood on the boulevard in front of the sea. There, teenage hoods searched for soldiers. When they found one, awed they beat the mother-fucker up. At least they tried. The ones who couldnāt beat up soldiers, most of them, ran after the few girls they saw, though they didnāt care about girls. Whenever they got hold of a bunch of girls, they tied them up with ropes and gagged them. Then they rubbed them in dirt.
Certain of the guys were able to rape a girl without having to kneel or fall on the ground. They could standing up rape a girl, feet planted firmly on the street and their hands on their hips as if they were sailors. The other hoods admired them.
These boys werenāt nice. They beat up those younger than themselves. They had killed one or two. They knocked about those who were still babies and then slapped at their tiny cocks. They cut off young girlsā hair with switchblades. They ripped up their delicate blouses, and tore the heels off their shoes, and cut through the tight blue-jeans to the flesh.
It was after the revolution.
Six jeeps of The New Revolutionary Arab Police
Half-naked and Mercurochrome-dotted on his chest, a child sat on his bed.
Somewhere else, St Bubu, wearing only a white cotton slip, slept on his back. His knees were tucked into his stomach.
Audry who was Abhorās sister was sleeping right next to the boy. Her right hand was lying on his thigh. It slipped under the slip. Then it fell on his ass. Though he was still asleep, St Bubu opened one eye and rolled over Aud.
Audry woke up and consciously stuck her hand under his slip. She wangled it between their bodies, heavy and hot from sleep, until St Bubu caught the hand as if it was a wiggling fish. His weight alone spread apart the young girlās thighs. To do this, his hands held on to her white bra.
One hand rubbed one cup. It pulled it slightly down. The hand discovered a small breast. Touched it. Held the animal. It awoke it.
The young girlās cunt juices had already run down his right knee.
With his teeth, St Bubu unhooked her training bra. Two were adult teeth. The bra, slipping beneath one tit, tickled his tummy. When she felt the results of this tickling, the young girlās face turned as white as the corneas of her eyes: she understood. āDon,ā she said. āI forgot about him.ā She went white enough to not exist. āDonāt mention him again. That ā¦ Then was the time of true morality and affection. Before the war. Now morality and affection are dead. Now I no longer see now I no longer cry now I no longer love. Anyone. Even you. I wonāt cry or smile again because Iām concrete.ā
The boy kissed this war-time face, this sun of blood, this milk, these tingling ants. His lips aspired to this transparency. His right hand tugged at, then pulled away the slip when had slipped between his and the young girlās sexes.
The young girl pulled him down to her foot; the boy pulled himself up until his hands took hold of the head, shook it; the blue hair rolled, and rolled over the pillow. In the next apartment, some girls were talking with their former maids. One of the ex-maids bit a thread she was holding between her teeth to break it. The coldness of the thimble she was balancing between her teeth made her lips tremble. St Bubu licked the hairs, on the right and on the left, of Audās cheeks. Hairs stuck to his lips.
āBub ā¦ sometimes I think about my mommy. Sheās the only one who could make me warm.
āThat memoryās almost gone ā¦ Maybe that memoryās false ā¦ That memoryās almost gone ā¦ā
āDon. Heās my brother. He shouts his head off in front of the sea. Heās uppitty. Heās foul-mouthed. He even made up a dictionary for the foul-mouthed. On the beach he and I used to coat our bodies in sand. For a while we lived in a tiny cabin which we had found. We didnāt have to eat and we didnāt have to sleep. We loved each other. Since we loved each other, we werenāt going to die.
āAll other children and the soldiers left us alone.
āOur clothes were seaweed and tatters of blue-jeans, slips, shells, bras, and condoms. We were naked kids.
āAs for daddy, daddyās dead now. Heās probably in Hell, the old shit. At last at least heās got a real home; as for me with the war I went from place to place. In each place I met some boy and he did whatever he wanted to me; I survived by not caring about myself. Hookers understand me. And I understand them. I havenāt been a prostitute, understand, but thereās one thing lifeās taught me:ā Abhorās younger sister explained. āI can always find a home in a whore-house. I can stay alive as long as I donāt care about anything or anyone: what other people say about me. How many hands touch my body. The physical pain I feel. What happens to me.
āWith you, Bubu, Iāve allowed myself to feel something. But thatās wrong,ā the young girl said.
āBeing a whore means you separate sex and feeling. Sex is an activity as meaningless as is money. Iād be a great whore, Iād even make a fortune,ā she cried out, āif my cunt didnāt get so sore! Physically. I can hardly bear to fuck: if I fuck more than once in a row, my cunt bruises and then I get an infection. If I was a whore, Iād die.ā
St Bubu didnāt reply.
āMy brother, Don, used to try to pull my hair out. Then heād push me with his knee. He believed his knee was a gun. The top of my body would fall forward. The gun would slide into my legs. As if I was now his prisoner, he coldly informed me that if I didnāt do exactly as he said Iād be shot. I took my clothes off. But I wasnāt able to entice this real commander away from his commands with just my body because he didnāt care about sensuality. Both of us were unable to touch a person physically. In order to touch he had to command. He commanded me; he commanded positions; he invented a world. When I became too tired to play anymore, to obey him: he put his arms around me and stuck his nostrils into my armpits. Then he rubbed his sweat-soaked nose into my cheeks. I pinched the tip of his cock in my teeth. I laughed when he cried out from the pain.
āAs my brother and I form one person, now like mine his heart is gone because itās been cut out. Like me, Don obsessively stares at his dead heart. Weāre gonna be free, Bubu, when we shit on it, on ourselves.ā
The children such as St Bubu and Audry, and a sailor and a gypsy, in this time after the war all lived in the section of Paris of the rats.
Throughout the night, after the revolution, all I wanted to do was get my rocks off With whomever I could find.
There were only prostitutes; the women had all become prostitutes. I didnāt understand why.
But I found, for Iām consistently losing myself, myself seated in the middle of the fur of white wolves. We, a young girl and I, nibbled cherries which reminded us of our blood. Red dripped on to white. The fruit at least was fresh. A mutant who was singing a rock-n-roll memory began to cry. There was a past, somewhere. I took my weapon, rose up, and walked to the front of the squat.
Outside, next to the purple steps, roses stood in the witchlike winds.
I went back in to get something to eat. While I was choking on some nuts, the girl sat on my shoulders so that her cunt juice ran down my neck. The skin at the back of my neck and my eyes felt allergic. My eyes were burning as they should be.
I took hold of her thighs. I ran my hands around them. I put my mouth on them. I bent her forward so I could run my hands up and into the ass. Red head backwards, she kissed me on the lips. I had her ass.
Dinosaur, who was a stuffed animal, was sitting next to us. Dinosaur was female therefore a prostitute. I could see her cunt. Cherries were sitting on top of her thighs. One of her gigantic paws as if she was a wild cat grazed my knee in affection. The buzzing of a mad bee caught prisoner in the bathroom resounded from tile floor to tile floor. When I managed to get my head up, the red-head rubbed her thighs into the back of my neck.
There was a gun-shot. In one leap I managed to grab the PM and jump on to the front steps. Still, my nostrils opened as wide as possible, moonlight resting on my face and hands, I looked out over the sea, to the port. The girl knocked on the window glass: āYou have to eat, Thivai. You canāt remain on guard all night. Abhorāll return. Cāmon. What do you want to eat? Thereāre dead hamburgers thereās whipped cream.ā
When I opened the door, wind blew through the room. The whore was hugging her stuffed animal to her tits. āā¦ that mouth youāve got down there below ā¦ā I stuck my hand into the hole between her wet thighs. For a second I reached the clit ā¦ though she was a whore, she was too sensitive to be touched ā¦ I reached for her stuffed animalās clit ā¦ that little nothing of a tongue ā¦
I, shivering in anticipation, walked back into the cold. Car lights flashed blue along the bay. There was nowhere, for me, to go. From the squat.
I walked back inside. Inside the whore. I pushed her under me. I threw myself down on her. She sang out like a blues singer ā¦ I didnāt know why. Dinosaur poured about a cup of her whipped cream down her open mouth. I stuck my tongue between the cliffs of the lips into foaming cream. I became a ship, sailing. I tried to suck it up.
Dinosaur tugged at my army belt. Excited beyond belief by her touch, I threw myself on the animal. The young girl, excited beyond control, threw herself on me. I reached over for her and she, whore-like, rejected me. Her hand rose out of the fur and slapped my red cock.
āDonāt touch me but whip my cunt,ā the young whore said to me.
āIām not a brute:ā I told her. āItās wrong for any human to hurt or kill another human. Even to reject to the point of banishment another human. Corporate executives commit atrocities. Must we act like them, sexually, in order to fight them successfully? No.ā I was answering myself. āActing like shits will only make us become shit. Greedy and maniacal. Of course we have to use force to fight for our freedom. For forceless humans are dead. We should use force to fight representations which are idols, idolized images; we must use force to annihilate erase eradicate terminate destroy slaughter slay nullify neutralize break down get rid of obliterate move out destruct end all the representations which exist for purposes other than enjoyment. In such a war, a war against idolatry, ridiculeāll be our best tool. Remember, whore: Julienās sarcasms did more damage than Neroās tortures.ā
āDecomposing flesh moves me the most:ā the young whore said. āGive me hell.ā
I laughed at myself and gave her what she wanted. I pierced myself through her belly-button. I thrust and pushed her own blood up her womb. As her red head rose out of the white fur, her mouth opened: monstrous scarlet. Tiny white shells appeared in that monster sea. āMy little dead shark. Better than dead fish.ā I whispered to her while I fucked her in her asshole.
Stray sprays of my sperm streamed down the stuffed animalās left leg. Our fucking had made her less fearful for the moment. She actually touched my arm and left her paw there. Then this paw pulled my arm to her monstrous body, lifted it and placed it on her swollen belly. Then she stuck the hand in and squeezed it between her two hot hide thighs. I thought that my hand was going to break.
I had already stopped fucking the whore. I was rolled to, almost over, the dinosaur by the dinosaur. My soft gluey cock pulsed against her thigh which was made out of sackcloth. She looked at me. She licked my eyelids which looked pale to her. I turned away from the monster, back to the whore.
I took her in my arms. I adored her. I separated her arms into my cross. I placed my cross down on the white. Her red cunt was the center of the cross. I fucked her, not it.
I raised myself up into the night. I buttoned up my canvas pants, I rebuckled my belt, I reached for a glass of red wine which was on a nearby table, bolted down the wine, took my gun,...
