i feel like my life is a race against time to consume every piece literature, film and art i can. yet while also trying to desperately craft my own works, trying to leave a mark on the world of where i was in time.

This poem took me months, and was originally far longer. I kind of hate it. I knew it was something I needed to write but I struggled to find out how to write it. I might rewrite this, and attempt something better. We'll see. Oh well.

Bleeding but not knowing where from is so viscerally relatable to me
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Grief suffocated. Grief paralysed. Grief was a cruel, heavy boot pressed so hard against his chest that he could not breather. Grief took him out of his body, made his injuries theoretical. He was bleeding, but he didn't know where from (pg. 412 Babel: An Arcane History).

babel, or the necessity of violence by r. f. kuang
HISTORY isn't a premade tapestry that we've got to suffer, a closed world with no exit. We can form it. Make it. We just have to choose to make it.
