poems written in blood and dust @ephemeronblue - Tumblr Blog

I wanted to explain myself to myself in an understandable way. I gave shape to my fears and made excuses. I varied my velocities, watched my selves sleep. Something’s not right about what I’m doing but I’m still doing it—living in the worst parts, ruining myself.

Richard Siken, from War of the Foxes (via 7-weeks)

Lines from “Lady Lazarus” by Sylvia Plath: bold the ones that apply to your muse. REPOST. DON’T REBLOG.

i have done it again. / one year in every ten / i manage it—— · a sort of walking miracle, my skin · bright as a Nazi lampshade, · my face a featureless, fine · O my enemy. / do i terrify?—— · the nose, the eye pits, the full set of teeth? · will vanish in a day. · Soon, soon the flesh · the grave cave ate will be / at home on me · and i a smiling woman. ·and like the cat i have nine times to die. · what a trash / to annihilate each decade. · what a million filaments. · the peanut-crunching crowd / shoves in to see // them unwrap me hand and foot—— · the big strip tease. · gentlemen, ladies / these are my hands / my knees. · i may be skin and bone, · nevertheless, i am the same, identical woman. · the first time it happened i was ten. · It was an accident. · the second time meant / to last it out and not come back at all. · i rocked shut / as a seashell. // they had to call and call / And pick the worms off me like sticky pearls. // dying /is an art, like everything else. // i do it exceptionally well. // I do it so it feels like hell. // i do it so it feels real. // i guess you could say i’ve a call. // it’s easy enough to do it in a cell. // it’s easy enough to do it and stay put. // it’s the theatrical / comeback in broad day // to the same place, the same face, the same brute / amused shout: // ‘a miracle!’ / that knocks me out. // there is a charge // for the eyeing of my scars, there is a charge // for the hearing of my heart—— / it really goes. // and there is a charge, a very large charge / for a word or a touch / or a bit of blood / or a piece of my hair or my clothes. // so, so, Herr Doktor. / so, Herr Enemy. // i am your opus, / i am your valuable, //the pure gold baby // that melts to a shriek. // i turn and burn. // do not think i underestimate your great concern. // ash, ash— // you poke and stir. / flesh, bone, there is nothing there—— // a cake of soap, / a wedding ring, / a gold filling. //Herr God, Herr Lucifer // beware / beware. // out of the ash / i rise with my red hair // and i eat men like air.

wordsnquotes

It wasn’t real. I deluded myself. I had this aching need to be loved and it was screwing with my head. Sometimes, when you crave certain feelings, you’ll trick yourself into thinking the other person is something other than what he appears.

These dry autumn breezes and the stories they hold. I’ve got my reasons for feeling so old. My body’s aching for warmer days. It’s not only seasons that change when I want them to stay.
