About this ebook

Cleo is a spirit suffering from her own destructive thoughts. Yearning for something to feed her hunger, she stumbles across those who are detrimental to her. The Great Peet’s influence is no different. When he asks, “Why is it you feel you have no choice?” she is quick to reply: “I hear your touch and feel your voice.” When the story continues in the eyes of Peet, we meet the alluring Violet, for whom his love flourishes. Drawn to Violet’s grace, yet pulled by Cleo’s heartache, Peet grapples between purity and substance.  Presented entirely in verse, each character in Wounded Wisteria embodies a different earthly element, while the story becomes a study of the power of perspective, and a testament to the youthful essence of craving and vulnerability inside the heart of us all.

    Wounded Wisteria - Maithy Vu

    verse

    Part I

    Trees and Keys

    Admit you have nothing left to bring.

    Fallen leaves grow back come spring.

    I.

    CLEO is green.

    Her chest reads CLEO.

    DIGG is cloaked in black.

    Its arm reads DIGG.

    It has gardening shears.

    CLEO.

    It’s there, It’s there

    Creeping before dawn

    Over there, over there

    Look before It’s gone

    There It is

    It’s always painted black

    Here It comes, once It comes

    It won’t ever go back

    Hurry up, hurry up

    Before it is too late

    Don’t stall

    The consequence, you’ll hate

    Why is It here?

    Oh, now I can see why

    Look away, look away

    Quick, close your eyes

    It’s a shame, such a shame

    A soul shattered in pieces

    Does It know?

    Glimmering, It sees it

    Don’t die, don’t die

    Hold your head up high

    There you go, there you go

    There’s plenty of time

    It knows, It knows

    See the way It glances

    Hear that? Hear that?

    It’s a heart that dances

    DIGG.

    Who are you! I haven’t seen you before!

    Something about you I simply cannot ignore!

    CLEO.

    I don’t quite know the answer to that.

    And I’m much too nervous for a chat.

    DIGG.

    But I approach you so curiously!

    Your heart is beating furiously!

    CLEO.

    I must go, I must go.

    So much of you I don’t know.

    DIGG.

    The way you act is so peculiar!

    Oh, how it stings to get nearer!

    CLEO.

    I am but a child, much too small to crack.

    You’ll slay yourself over things I lack.

    DIGG.

    Listen to your foolish plea!

    It was you who beckoned me!

    CLEO.

    You are but a thought, too small to fear.

    There’ll be a time
