Love In The Asylum

A stranger has come
To share my room in the house not right in the head,
A girl mad as birds

Bolting the night of the door with her arm her plume.
Strait in the mazed bed
She deludes the heaven-proof house with entering clouds

Yet she deludes with walking the nightmarish room,
At large as the dead,
Or rides the imagined oceans of the male wards.

She has come possessed
Who admits the delusive light through the bouncing wall,
Possessed by the skies

She sleeps in the narrow trough yet she walks the dust
Yet raves at her will
On the madhouse boards worn thin by my walking tears.

And taken by light in her arms at long and dear last
I may without fail
Suffer the first vision that set fire to the stars.

The Catwomen on 6th Avenue - Tatyana and Ursula Dueschen

With issues of disease and health aside, I think it's amazing cat ladies actually inhabited in my neighbourhood. This story devastates me, amazes me and makes me very curious. Aside from the novelty joy I get from knowing that Inglewood has an equivalent of Grey Gardens, I feel extremely sorry for the women and am angry at the media for portraying them as villains who cruelly neglected their cats. I am sure they loved those cats, but are clearly mentally unfit and do not know how to take care of them properly. The article and the comments just victimise them or take the mickey. I am concerned for the mother and daughter and wonder where they are going to go now they have been kicked out of their property. I understand that the animals have suffered greatly and this devastates me as an animal lover but I think the two women need to go into good state housing rather than to jail. I just can't understand why nothing has been done to help them and how I never knew about this issue in my neighbourhood as I have learnt it has been going on for some time.

I rode my bike past the site today. It was very surreal and derelict. The caravan is still there and covered by these white birds with long black beaks. There were felines all over the place still, hiding under rubble. Ursula and Tatyana Dueschen never surfaced though.
