the sky i pull

with the tired arms of my lungs

it is oppresive

an osprey watches us

(( cautiously ))

she finds the beauty

i find the longing

& between the two of us

we'll perhaps find some sort of balance

i always thought this kind of stuff was made up. but ... apparently ...

oh dear.

#not poetry #smh

i hang off the corner of our crescent moon, it glows, i still see. i've a broken this, & i've a broken that. i still see, i'm a hook but not shining, bits of our moon are crumbling & escaping to be some sort of stars. i'm hanging on, stuck still, memories strong, vivid, even in an emerald blur. glowing glass moon, broken & sharp, i almost reach out. is it the wind that is howling?

i was tagged by @lorienfae to post gifs of my top 10 favorite movies. i'm not much of a movie-goer, so this took me a while to think about. some of them i haven't seen ( or really thought about ) in ages. so, in no particular order:

#i was tagged #and i liked it #good movies #and STILL not poetry

i.

here we have what at first appears to be a hole in the sky behind a cloud that runs. a tree is deceived. there is a black square-like figure that judges, & a light that attempts to shape itself as the hole, to please it, to become one with it one day.

ii.

we retreat from the scene, & hover just above the tired road. the cloud has swallowed the hole in the sky, causing a great beam of dream energy to escape into the wires. a tree is shelter.

iii.

upon further inspection, the wires are not wires at all, but carefully wrought slices in the sky, bleeding invisible sadness upon the world. we are treeless. the hole in the sky has changed, but we can't say how, or why.

iv.

it is a god-lantern, & an angel screams within. unfathomable yearning leaks out in a faint horizontal sheet. the scratches are a false memory. the cloud gives birth to

broken black kaleidoscope on the kitchen floor

glass shines on rough brick green

glass shines on tearful eye blue

toy with a bit of mirror no longer at the right angle & won't you look at the sun

glass shines on closed door purple

glass shines on book spine red

like half a tube, another mirror half-attached, half-reflecting something moving

something dancing outside in the verdant dream

i am splayed out on the floor one palm up & the other down

covering a glass unshine [ color-undefined ]

the ceiling is not a universe, it's just a ceiling
