Literature Text

schauerlich die Schnabelmaske
schwarz das lange Federkleid
eisern-alt verstellt die Stimme
zeugen dir von Raub und Leid

platzen Träume auf wie Blasen
Eiter fliesst durchs Zukunftsbild
schmerzverzerrte Illusionen
Kind sich an der Krankheit stillt

Raben kriechen, Raben schreien
zeig niemals dein wahr‘ Gesicht
sterbend weiter Träume picken
bis der Welten Licht erlischt

Tag 25 - Splat Klopf, klopf, klopf. Taps, taps, knarrrr. … Mwah, mwah! Klapper, klapper, schmatz, schmatz, gluck, gluck, gluck, aahh. Ding dong, ding dong! Klirr, gluck gluck. Mwah, mwah, mwah! Zisch bumm, zisch bumm, zisch bumm! … Plumps, schnaaaarch. --- Tag 26 - Connect Wenn die Ideen und das Können und das Gefühl einander streifen, dann reicht ein Funke, damit alles explosionsartig expandiert. --- Tag 27 - Spark --- Tag 28 - Crispy Knusprig, das Krachen der Knochen zwischen den Kiefern. Boneys, die neuen Zerealien für Ghule --- Tag 29 - Patch Drei Mäuler voll Zähne, riesig, schrecklich, schwanzwedelnd. Du kommst nicht vorbei. --- Tag 30 - Slither Ihr Blick hat sich in dir verbissen und jetzt bist du verloren. Langsam reiben die Schuppen sich in deine Haut und deine Knochen stöhnen, als sich die Schlingen enger legen. Ihre Stimme schleicht in deine Träume und die Windungen deines Verstands, bis die Ränder deines Blickfelds selbst sich schlängelnd

Love is True North

My lover is a young man with an old soul born into the wrong time. He is wrapped in layers and pages, some we write together... He belongs to history as well as to me. The sun rises with him and he goes about his morning ritual, a kiss pressed to my cheek and my forehead before he leaves our bed, a half mumbled prayer whispered into my hair. As I brush my teeth, he holds a soft round bristle shaving brush and paints his face with warm foam while tossing a wink at my reflection. My man shaves with a straight razor that he places in my hand. I’m always afraid to cut him, but he laughs off the idea that I’ll slit his

Sacrifices

"It's good to hear your voice, Juliana." "Feeling isn't quite mutual." I could feel him shift uncomfortably, but he didn't face me. My shadow loomed over him as I walked towards the dresser. I was glad I had hacked into the sensors and lights before even coming inside. He wouldn't have wanted to see my face, or what was left of it. "He looks nice in this vid, if a bit scruffy," I paused as the soft hum of the electronics inside the vid-frame lit up the screen, playing a video of Richard and his husband someplace warm. "You both look happy," it felt heavy in my hand as I turned it over, "Recent?" "Uh, yeah? Month or so ago?" his voice tra

For a Beloved Friend, A Blessing and Funeral Poem.

When the road you walk is dark and shadows fill your dreaming head may there always be a glow upon your path ahead. And may you always hear, even in your hour of sorrow, the placid singing of the spirited lark. When times call for hard work and perseverance never may your heart nor soul turn to stone. And may you always remember: When the shadows fall and bog your path you do not walk alone. May love and laughter always lighten your days, warm your heart and your sense of home. May good and truthful friends be yours wherever it is you roam. May peace and plenty bless your world with a joy that long perseveres. May all life's passing seasons

interior design for broken homes

i. here in isolation, we begin the fallout. everything around us makes us pull the knives out. once i turned to you when all the world was making chaos sounds; now we run away and run our ships aground, entire days lost. what cost can be discerned of loss and lives set fire? churn my stomach into wreckage, lover. what will we have learned? ii. as the night evades, we are tyrants in our ruling places. color me so purple that the worries fall up into space. ardor isn't earned, it is the currency of loneliness. i'm spent. iii. i've spent the last three days in solitude, a quiet i can't place now that it's over; what a melody is overbearing noise! no choice stings quite like you, and no regret is louder than the truth. up on the roof, the rain gives all of us illusions: we are not what we believe to be revealed. iv. if i had to explain it— and someday i worry i will— i would first look for paper, pen, mercy. v. the blueprint of a heart is volatile; everyone knows but no one

Prayer

the last time I was in a chapel I got a nosebleed at the start of when peace like a river I don’t get nosebleeds I took it as a sign I retreat inside my skin not because it’s safer but because I know this temple was built to withstand the burning spirit that inhabits it these windows shatterproof these walls flame resistant at home I make my own stained-glass busted mirror —pools of silver crimson-dipped fractals of my busted fist repeated my mother always said I had too much fire in me I am a fire sign after all what did she expect I contain it within myself no, I try when I open my mouth embers erupt I catch the

Rats

I’m sat here in this heat, little one, trying to find the poison. It is the thread between me and you? The thick blood in our veins, slowly killing us even as it keeps us alive? When the time comes, if I can will I? You will not thank me, little one, you do not have to. To give one’s life is one thing, reputation and honour another. Can I do the right thing in the dark, when no one will see? Or am I no better than the rest? I keep asking why this is us, little one, or if this is us at all. In the 70s the rats escaped the cage only to lock us in it.

Ribcage

The cage in my chest is more that just a rack of bones encasing my heart and lungs. It is as strong as iron bars- a self made prison where I am the jailbird, The demons are the guards, My Id is the warden. My past is a weapon that my captors taunt me with, Jabbing through the bars and piercing my heart. They mock my attempts to be humble and belittle my desire for repentance. They sneer at me when I pray for forgiveness of my sins. It is always one step forward, two steps back. I was too young when I put myself in this prison, And now I am too old

Ring of Fire

Where Fire and Earth meet We are molten, tectonic Dancing the interface, frisson subsonic My solid foundation, floor of the ocean Your underlying perpetual motion Fluid dynamic, abyssal plummet Twine, combine to fulminant summit Convergent, we build Transforming, we change My coastal tsunami Your mountain range Together we are megalithic, volcanic Irresistible force, magnetic, galvanic.

December 17th 2015 (Black Dog)

The black dog wakens Snapping and snarling at me So it’s time to run Though I won’t be fast enough Truth is I’m never enough Cause that old black dog He’s been hunting me for years And he knows my tricks Every which way I might turn That old dog is there for me I can feel its jaws Yeah they’re pressing on down My ribs start to crack And my heart, it starts to tear Cause I think my time has come And that old black dog is there

Ich weiss noch, dass dies hier im Geschichtsunterricht entstand. Komischerweise ging es nicht um die Pest, sondern um die Zeit der Aufklärung, wenn ich mich recht erinnere. Seltsam manchmal, wo und wann einen die Inspiration trifft. (Wäre übrigens schön, wenn sie das mal wieder tun würde... ich hab Deadlines einzuhalten D: )
