Impressionism

-

How foolish of me to think

I could be considered art

If they'd just look hard enough.

If they'd just try hard enough.

If they'd just care.

Being born into all that fire and rage

Didn't make me more beautiful,

It didn't make me stronger.

It just burned me.

That's all it ever did.

BLOOD IS COMING OUT OF ME

TWITCHING NERVES INSIDE OF ME

I'M SCARED AND HIGH

AND DON'T KNOW WHY

BUT I KNOW I NEED TO FUCKING BLEED!!!

Drug me till I can't feel a thing!

Tell me to fuck off because I'm such a cling!

I need somebody to reassure me,

So PUT ME OUT OF MY MISERY!!!

I will spend more time with myself in this lifetime than anyone else. Let me learn to be the kind of person I would like to have as a friend.

u do not have to be good. u do not have to walk on ur knees for a hundred miles through the desert repenting. u only have to let the soft animal of ur body love what it loves. tell me about despair, urs, and i’ll tell u mine. meanwhile the world goes on. meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain are moving across the landscape, over the prairies and the deep trees, the mountains and the rivers. meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air, are heading home again. whoever u are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to ur imagination. calls to u like the wild geese, harsh and exciting—over and over announcing ur place in the family of things.

To a Drowning Man

Here is the weight of a heart:

            dreams gone ragged at the edges,

faded and frayed, the ghost of hope

rather than her full splendour,

            and yet,

it’s enough, isn’t it? She sings

still, not siren but lullaby,

a reminder of strength

in darker times,

            a hand offered

without expectation, just steady

and steady on—

            the constant promise

of softness, breath

to a drowning man

who has ignored his own drowning—

sometimes, love is this

potential:

            glimmer unexpected,

            gentleness unasked for,

a silhouette standing in shadow,

            imperfect heart

shining, a torch song

                        burning

against the dark.

a sunset at the end of the day

a brownish, orangish, golden haze

like an autumn breeze, or midnight in may

I don't know, this poem is gay.

[zephyrfuse]

From the darkness into the light

The Promised Land in sight

Welcome to city high color

You're no longer just a number

All those old words from before

Now white dust on the floor.

Calliope in Sandman is the Muse of Epic Poetry, right? Not the Muse of Haikus. We mostly see her in captivity but the few times we don't even in the comic I think we've got some evidence that this goddess likes to talk.

So now I'm imagining that Dream of the Endless has an even more specific type than we realized: not just gorgeous brunets with dark eyes (Nada, TV version Calliope & Hob, and Comic Alianora)

No, Dream's type is in fact gorgeous brunets with dark eyes who will also talk at him for hours about their special interest so he doesn't have to. All Dream has to do is sit back, relax, and listen to his love tell him stories all day.
