Emotional outbursting
seams reigned back,
garroted; deprived of
life and another’s sight:
my held-in tensions.

How I am feeling today, via Langston Hughes.
Tired
By Langston Hughes
I am so tired of waiting,
Aren't you,
For the world to become good
And beautiful and kind?
Let us take a knife
And cut the world in two -
And see what worms are eating
At the rind.

See my face as yours,

So yeah. Sorry to be a real bummer for a second, but when I forget to do that, people act like I'm only happy because I'm some sort of special safe insulated snowflake.
I'm telling you, happiness is a thing that can happen to anyone, if they prioritize it. And I just don't see why the hell not.

Is heaven for me?
Is heaven for you?
Just how affordable
do you think heaven is?
Is it worth not pursuing
any other dreams?
I feel heavy
at the prospect of heaven.
It's not really a dream
meant for any ears.
And I mean, hell!
I like it! One of the
prettiest afterlife dreams
...heaven.

that's almost too much to bear

🎉Happy Birthday to Edmund Dulac, who was born on this day 1882!
A favorite of the Golden Age of Illustration, Dulac was one of the few artists with technical skill to rival the likes of Arthur Rackham and Beatrix Potter. His twilight soaked imagery is dreamlike and otherworldly.🧵

A slice of heaven that I earned today with a 600 foot largely vertical scramble. I found the easy way to Lady Emily’s tower and it goes through this pine and bracken 😍

when I walked in, she

were only echoes.'

The Beforetimes - counter/field
In the cooking room, the kettle begins to sing, and her voice answers — calling a name I no longer trust belongs to me.

Double-edged
is the sword of #care;
that which comforts one
drains the other, life sapped
from soft touches,
warm smiles, infusing
the bruise as a salve.
Uttering small phrases:
“You’ll be fine,”
“It’s not that bad,”
stores tears for later,
alone, searing cheek bones.
