Literature

Splits lips upon stars

Morning splits open, like orange-flesh cradled in a palm. I tuck consonants between my lips/ draw moon-craters in my eyes; I make wishes upon stars that are too far away to realise and hope that somehow things will change. Yet the sun is still a mere hole in the sky.

who i'll watch forever (or, maybe forever) by chromeantennae, literature

Literature

who i'll watch forever (or, maybe forever)

also known as a poem where i'll name-drop every poet i've ever fallen for and then make clever references and play with usernames and ultimately end on some sort of joke because that's all my poetry is, wordplay wrapped in sarcasm. and obtuse obscure scientific language until my shit is shipwrecked and i'll need a captain to get me back on track, so i'll choose ian and say AyeAye12 (https://www.deviantart.com/ayeaye12). or aye aye captain and ay ay, let's see if i can do this in alphabetical order and i'm starting off well 'cause i would've started AlphaManifest (https://www.deviantart.com/alphamanifest) had she not have deactivated her account. and that's why i don't believe in forever 'cause as soon as you fall in

Late departure, going south by Jade-Pandora, literature

Literature

Late departure, going south

1. waiting autumn turned winter a time of dying 2. stark trees their limbs raised in naked bereavement 3. span of orange sky stripped down to a single statement 4. sunburned neck, grinning and not looking back barefoot girl left in the dust 5. gas flames pipes in a farmer's back yard bitter harvest 6. bulldozed wetlands-- the unborn futures of unclaimed wings 7. the abandonment of outgoing flights pointing the way home

The Dreams We Keep by timeraider, literature

Literature

The Dreams We Keep

What deep-set dreams we keep, lest others pry - As if to say that silence guards them best, And keeps them most alive - there in my breast, In silence born, and therein left to lie; But not unknown, not they - for I had slept As men and gods alike did haply dream, And dreaming, knew of all my deepest dreams Ere I. Thus, any hopes I hereby dress - Desires bespoke, if not, in truth, confessed - Shall mark me as a puppet born and bought To shoulder wishes men themselves forgot, Not knowing which are more and which are less My own. A bastion, then, of debts and dues - As others dreamt, I dream - and dreaming, lose.

con espressione

con espressione. I. You were the only one who could play my ribcage like a pianist in concert. Your fingers found their home in the spaces between my ribs [fifth, sixth, seventh], and nestled against the soft curve of my violin-waist. IV. We should take it adagio, you said as we got lost in a tangle of freckled limbs that had seen too much August sunlight. OK, I breathed back, but of course we ignored that once the stars exploded above our heads. V. Two quavers of a crotchet (it was never two halves of a whole), we descended into bass clef and danced the line that was the F below middle C. Your fingers were mezzo piano on my skin as you

This may come as no surprise ...

... but I think it's pretty obvious that I am no longer really active on dA at all. Part of it is work - I'm usually a lot busier these days, and the thought of tackling my neglected inbox just doesn't appeal - and part of it is that other sites have just drawn my attention more now. And then there is also the fact that I'm not really writing any more either. The closest I came to it was being inspired to write a few fragments after reading Anthony Doerr's poetic and beautiful All the Light We Cannot See last year. Even if I do start writing again, I wouldn't feel comfortable sharing my work here when I have not read or commented on other peo
