The Moon Will Sing

“The moon will sing a song for me.// I loved you like the sun.”

-The Moon Will Sing, The Crane Wives

[ID: Two black and white digital pencil illustrations. The left shows an elk, eyes closed as it leaps through the air. Its antlers are stylized and huge, and they encase a moon. Lyrics under the stag read: "the moon will sing a song for me". On the right is a Fallow deer, in a similar position to the elk. Its antlers curve around a sun, and lyrics next to it read, "i loved you like the sun". End ID]

A/N: i literally cannot stop drawing stags. Elk on the left Fallow deer on the right bc you guys know I love them <3 i was thinking about posting these independently but i decided the crane wives were too good ♥︎ i promise i will draw something else soon also !! i updated my intro post bc i realized i never added pronouns LOL my bad guys

Christmas at my fathers house is terrifying.

Re-listened to Recollection (TMA episode) and Martin talking about the fog and the house really got to me—it’s how I feel about my fathers house, which is my childhood home

The Stag

“The stag does not fear

death

he knows only

that his antlers are great

and the herd is many

he knows rest and he

knows

power

but most of all

he knows

peace.”

EDIT: SORRY IF YOU DON’T LIKE TO BE @ BUT I JUST THOUGHT YOU’D LIKE THIS @cozybirch

to the deer a couple yards away that I accidentally made eye contact with at 6:23 PM on a Sunday when I wanted to die

Do you know how adored you are by girls around the world

How many people look at you and wish they could be reborn into your skin

To stand there so innocently

Stare at me with doe eyes

Blink at me

Unmoving

It’s been two minutes and you’re still standing there

I’m writing this ‘poem’ I my notes app

It’s not a poem

It’s a realization

That I want more

That I want you

Not just as an idol but as a soul

How so many could carelessly kill you and skin you for show

I’ll never understand

Stuff you and mount you on a wall like a prize

I don’t want that

I want your beauty

I envy you’re innocence to the cruelty

Antlers

I can’t grow and change peacefully as a butterfly,

I will not be asleep for weeks as my body liquifies and my form is changed by some unknown master

There will be no grand emergence, I will not be forever different and beautiful.

I will stay the same but from my very mind a weapon will begin to grow.

Hidden and protected by my own flesh, my monoliths will rise and soon branch.

ugly and painful,

They grow and grow and grow, and the men around me will see them and follow in my divine forgery

As soon as I am ready,

Me,

no god or king,

My disgusting weapons of bone will be ready.

And I will claw and scrape off the flesh,

and I will eat the flesh.

And the world will be ever the more red and unpredictable.

My own blood on the trees, and the blood of my brothers also on the trees

But we will have our antlers,

and make no mistake brothers we must use them.

[cryptic-diary]

I am aware I'm prey.

I've been told since I was shivering on bloody grass, my newborn shaky legs made to support my weight from the moment I took my first breath.

I just didn't realize that those who told me were the predators.

Until their teeth sunk in too close to bone and the pelt they wore to hide their claws came off.

deer eyes and headlights

————————————-

you’re a deer in headlights

stunned at the bright light

collapsing down,

you let the fawn instincts overtake

forgetting to flee

succumbing to your instincts

headlights of the car pierce your eyes

you do not run, you do not look away

the car plummets into you

your life gone

just in a split second

as the horrors of your past engulf you

your memories,

the ones you favored

and the ones you dreaded

all play out at once,

as the sky goes dark

the roaring sound of the car stays

it haunts you,

overpowering everything else

all a haunting wisp in the wind.

[puppylovebites]

let me be the headlights you freeze in

my dear,

let me leave you cold on the side of the road

rigor mortis.
