shamelessly attempting to get more traffic on my pseud acct on AO3. the ship is dead and I am sad. come check out my work because I STILL CANNOT get Emet out of my brain after 4 years while foolishly attempting to get back into writing again. I could use any critique/encouragement for motivation to finish my WIPs.

FYI my work is very NSFW, but please feel free to check out the other nearly complete WIP {tourniquet} under the same pen name--should have it finished soon.

Leila Chatti, Night Lament in Hergla  

[kharisei]

Sometimes I think I am a strange, strange creature—something not of earth, nor yet of heaven, nor of hell. I think at times I am a little thing fallen on the earth by mistake: a thing thrown among foreign, unfitting elements, where there is nothing in touch with it, where life is a continual struggle, where every little door is closed—every Why unanswered, and itself knows not where to lay its head.

Mary MacLane, from 'I Await the Devil's Coming'

But in a solitary life, there are rare moments when another soul dips near yours, as stars once a year brush the earth. Such a constellation was he to me.

Octavio Paz, tr. by Eliot Weinberger, from The Poems of Octavio Paz; “Epitaph for a Poet”

[kharisei]

“Accept the waiting, that you won’t always have a place in the chaos. Accept the closed door, the wall ever-higher, the little hurdle, the image that sticks out its tongue. Don’t climb backwards onto the shoulders of ghosts for it’s ridiculous to fall backwards with music in your soul.”

—

Blanca Varela, from The Blinding Star; “Auvers-sur-Oise” (tr. Sara Daniele Rivera & Lisa Allen Ortiz)

[Original: Acepta la espera que no siempre hay lugar en el caos. Acepta la puerta cerrada, el mura cada vez más alto, el saltito, la imagen que te saca la lengua. No te trepes sobre los hombros de los fantasmas que es ridículo caerse de trasero with music in your soul.]

Lisel Mueller, “Necessities”

“My life used to be full of everything. Now if you aren’t with me I haven’t a thing in the world.”

— Ernest Hemingway
