speculations on Avis Caeli
first the poem by 10 props to them
“Mouthless words stolen yet sweet
And gentle beds of snowy fields
The quiet touch of ink on skin
Glittering rush to compete
Challenges from a warm overcast
Innate being thought and memory
Born of a river of stars and ice
Comes bliss not meant to last
Leather books of what was told
Stories and fairytales of wisdom
Yet secrets and lies built it all
Unworthy of what was sold
Comes the dusk and nightfall fire
Cloudless evenings evermore
Time ticks on so indifferently
Undisturbed by the funeral pyre
Burn the book and its lies away
Drown memories in inky wombs
Of frozen twilight it all is lost and left
To become red sky at break of day“
the first stanza is describing egg. why? because title of the poem is about egg possibly. the 2nd line matches up with the snow that followed egg close in another poem. glittering rush to compete=game?
second stanza is partially egg description partially game description. the first line of that stanza describes the game, which is why. challenges was used. egg might be the warm overcast, which hints at the title again cuz it means 'bird of the air.' the 2nd and 3rd stanza line describe egg, specifically how 10 first met them and possibly what egg knew then. 4th line describes that the cycle/game ends
third stanza corresponds with the leather book from Quid Te Furati Sunt. egg presumably had involvement in the book
fourth stanza marks the end of a cycle, possibly 10s, cuz night and dusk are words that often are symbolically used to mark an end. thank you mrs hendrick for teaching me that. if egg is the overcast from stanza two, then the cloudless evenings also means egg is gone and the cycle is over. funeral pyre could also imply the death of 10 or with what i got from the fifth stanza. a mental death
fifth stanza is where it gets confusing. 10 is probably the one narrating this poem so. they are getting rid of reminders of the game and becoming a 'red sky at morning' aye kay aye a warning for future cycles? since 10 actively did the burning and drowning in the stanza 10 is deciding to warn us of something
