i like to pretend i already died and asked god to send me back to earth so i can swim in lakes again and see mountains and get my heart broken and love my friends and cry so hard in the bathroom and go grocery shopping 1,000 more times. and that i promised i would never forget the miracle of being here

Basket of Figs

by Ellen Bass

Bring me your pain, love. Spread it out like fine rugs, silk sashes, warm eggs, cinnamon and cloves in burlap sacks. Show me

the detail, the intricate embroidery on the collar, tiny shell buttons, the hem stitched the way you were taught, pricking just a thread, almost invisible.

Unclasp it like jewels, the gold still hot from your body. Empty your basket of figs. Spill your wine.

That hard nugget of pain, I would suck it, cradling it on my tongue like the slick seed of pomegranate. I would lift it

tenderly, as a great animal might carry a small one in the private cave of the mouth.

‘Circe Offering The Cup To Ulysses’ by John William Waterhouse.

The best description isn’t just objective placement (i.e. “overlooking the castle was a towering mountain, next to that was a lush green forest”) but rather description informed by what the main character or POV character observes.

For example, if a character is an painter, they might see the world in terms of brushstrokes and colors. They might describe the tall trees as streaks of evergreen brushed to the sky. Or if they are a chef/food lover, the trees might be crisp and sharp like fresh mint. This description creates a powerful inner voice for the character and makes the world one of their interpretation, just like how people see things in real life based on their own previous experiences and values.
