Racines, mémoire, et résistance poétique

Racines sans terre Je suis né là où la terre se fend, où les rivières murmurent l'exil, où le vent porte les noms de ceux qui ont disparu dans la nuit. Une graine arrachée à son sol, j’ai erré, porté par les tempêtes, sans savoir si j’étais fait pour éclore ou pour faner. J’ai appris que les racines ne sont pas que dans la terre, elles s’accrochent à la mémoire, aux chansons, aux mains qui m’ont tenu quand mon monde s’effondrait. J’ai vu les forêts déracinées, les champs dévorés par la faim, les océans engloutir des vies. L’exil n’est pas qu’humain, il est aussi celui des arbres, des rivières, de l’air. Mais j’ai trouvé du vert dans les ruines, l’espoir poussant dans les fissures du béton, des histoires portées par des vents qui ne connaissent pas de frontières. Aujourd’hui, je marche entre les mondes, voyageur semant des mots, réfugié des paysages perdus, voix murmurant comme les arbres et les oiseaux, je vis sans frontières. - Sahir Noah

With hurried steps did Noah walk away from the security check point, tucking his passport safely in his jacket pocket as he hauled a weekend bag around his shoulder. Just some essentials. He had clothes at home so no need to bring any, including his suit, that was waiting for him in his bedroom closet. He was surprising his family by arriving early. There to celebrate the wedding of his wife’s best friend rather than flying in on Christmas Eve. So instead of finding his family at the arrival hall, his eyes eventually landed on Adem, his surrogate little brother. He hadn’t forgotten about their phone call, in fact he thought about it every day, worried for the state he was going to find him in despite having trust in him doing the right thing. He showed up, at least. That was a promising sign. @adem-sahir

"I'm pretty confident you'll do the right thing, bud." Noah smiled, long glad that Adem still had it in him to joke around, even if what he said might not have been intended as one. Noah wanted everything for Adem, but mostly that he was better an comfortable in his own head. He knew he had been struggling for a while, yet his attempts to help had been declined before. To have him actively call him up and ask for it was a big step, one he took seriously. "Hey, I'm game. We can make Ines a personalised pillow cover for when she's bigger. Or some tapestry for in the hallway. I could be into it." It wasn't public knowledge, but Noah actually was very creative. From woodwork to painting and drawing. He was sure that he could do needlepoint, if he got the hang of it. "Just don't go Patrick Swayze on me." @adem-sahir

If nothing else, at least hearing Noah's voice was soothing. It was reminding him that even when he felt like he was on an island, he wasn't really alone. Adem was sure that a visit from Nora and Nessie was on the horizon once they got wind of how he was feeling and what was going on with him. Hearing that anyone was proud of him for anything at all was hard still. He didn't feel like he'd done anything to warrant that, and worse, he felt like he'd let everyone down instead. "Don't be too proud, I still haven't decided what I'm gonna do." He sniffled and rubbed at his eyes again. Adem wanted more than anything to get better, to be his old self again, and he knew that was a work in progress but for now, he was doing it, he was surviving. Noah started to bring up some ideas on ways to keep himself busy instead of turning to alcohol again and Adem half smiled at the mention of teaching something to him when he got home. "If you say that I'm gonna pick something stupid like needlepoint." He joked, though that alone showed that he was starting to come down from this panic he was in when he called. @noahsinclaxr

Task #006 - Dynamic Duo

Hello, Residents! For August's task, we have decided to split everyone up into pairs to promote branching out and writing with characters and maybe even muns you haven't written much with.

We realize some are on hiatus, so those pairs will be granted more time, but things should be at least started this month. You can have the pairs do anything you like! Just reach out to your writing partner and you can come up with something for them all to do. Under the cut, you'll find the pairs. If anyone drops a character and we accept more, we'll edit things up, but for now, this is the list!

" Of course, your tight buns are going to be a prime asset for all my single mom friends. I'll only show them off from the best angles, I promise " Nora teased him gently, knowing each and every one of them would tear her limb from limb for a chance with him if she ever showed off his pictures. Though she couldn't help feeling a little protective over him, physically and figuratively. He'd become such an important part of the furniture of their home, never really too far away from a Sinclair family love-in, much to his chagrin. She'd learnt to love everything about the tough, toffee-like man who they liked to call 'uncle' and in turn, he deserved so much more than some thirsty single mothers with their own unfulfilled fantasies. " Please do, it's never too early to teach her a little something about humility " She shrugged her shoulder a little, knowing Noah would probably have something to say if things went a little too far. Between Connor and Adem as Nessie's uncles, Nora knew they would have the best of both worlds when it came to raising their daughter. It was almost going to be like having a less badly behaved devil and an extra responsible angel playing off one another. Chuckling softly as she sensed his unease over holding Ines again, knowing how disgusting it was last time, Nora shook her head as she fetched her daughter from her nap and took her back into the kitchen. " Okay now, I made Nessie swear on her father's life that she wasn't going to leave you with a poonami to clear up. Are those good enough odds for you, Uncle Adem ? ". @adem-sahir

"If I'm gonna wear tight little shorts you better take pictures for all the single moms you know and send them my way." Even though Adem was shit with kids. He wasn't even sure how he was going to be able to be involved in Ines' life when he didn't know how to talk to a baby. With Noah leaving to go across the world, Adem was going to be around a lot more to keep an eye on Nora and the baby and he was already nervous as hell about it. "I'll make sure to thoroughly roast her when she's old enough to understand, don't worry." He joked, rolling his eyes but he was smiling anyway. Being called uncle was still something he was getting used to. His brother had never had any children before he died and Adem would be shaken to his core if his little sister ever had kids, or if she did they would likely never know their uncle due to his shit ability to have a relationship with Reyhan. He scowled at the memory of last time he was holding Ines. "You know that was fucking gross don't even bullshit me right now Nora." He shook his head. "As long as she doesn't shit on me she can come cuddle Uncle Adem."

[noahsinclaxr]

"Of that I have no doubt. I hate squats." Noah spoke back just as seriously, though knew from experience when Adem was teasing or not. "Okay, you're fine. We'll leave it at that." He would be the last person to force anything upon him, including hashing out feelings. Something about male pride he got told over and over by his therapist. "Adem." He sighed, giving him a certain look. "You're mistaking pitying you for caring about you." He told him, before nodding along and walking further into the house. "I could do with a coffee, you want some?" @adem-sahir

“Well I clearly do more squats than you.” Adem said without even a hint of a smile, though he was teasing, and looked between his hands that were wringing themselves and Noah’s face. He knew damn well that if there was anyone in his life who would be honest with him and tell him the truth he needed to hear, it was this man. He sighed and shook his head. “What is it with everyone lately trying to help me? I didn’t ask for anyone to do that. I’m fucking fine.” He snipped. Anyone could take a half a look at Adem and see he was clearly not fine but trying to get him to admit it was a whole different story. “You know I love you guys but I don’t want your pity.”

[noahsinclaxr]

"I'll make sure to tell her." Noah shook his head with an amused smile. Adem was an attractive man, he was certain that there were many who thought he was attracted and wanted to 'tap that' as the kids said. "Hey, none of that. I'm not wasting any time if I spend it with you, okay? Even with something as going to a support group." He told him, finger pointing and all. He wasn't going to sit by and had Adem believe he thought spending any kind of time with him was a 'waste of time'. Not on his watch. "I have enough time with them to be able to spend it with others too." He lowered his hand, looking ahead of them again as they turned into his street. Home. "I'm good. I miss home, of course. Counting down the days until I'm done there." @adem-sahir

Adem couldn't help but roll his eyes at that because he was sure that Noah had his face among those of his family members. It was nice to be included in something real. When his own family hung him out to dry, the Sinclair's never had. "Tell her to get in line, I've got a long list of suitors already." He joked, both of them being fully aware that his list of potential partners was extremely short. "Nah, I know you're on limited time, I don't want to waste any of it with a stupid support group. Spend it with Nora and Nessie, please. She's growing so fast and I don't want you to miss a moment while you're home." He would feel so selfish if he did that. A smile played on his lips as he turned towards Noah's street. "We'll have to see if you're any good at it when you're done. How's it going, for real though?"

[noahsinclaxr]

"I know you have been." Nora mentioned him on occasion, but he knew upon leaving that they were in his capable hands. Though troubled he may be, he would trust him with the lives of his family, and if that didn't prove the faith he had in him, he didn't know what else would. "I know, isn't it amazing?" Noah grinned like an idiot at the mention of how his daughter looked, falling in love all over again every time Nora had sent him a new photo. He was excited to see the girls again. He wasn't sure how he would survive the four months that would follow as soon as he left again, but now wasn't the time to think about that. He buckled himself into his seat, looking over at Adem as he relaxed in his seat. Granted he had just spent hours on a plane, but at least a car seat was more comfortable than that. "So what's new? What do I need to know before I meet the bulk of the horde later on? My wife's not having an affair, right?" @adem-sahir

A weight felt like it had been lifted off his shoulders now that Noah was here, even if it was only temporary. He could only imagine how excited Nora was going to be to see her husband. Adem led the way to his truck and tossed Noah's bag in the backseat, nodding at the question. "I think so. I've been over as much as I can to help out." Though he wouldn't admit it, some of that was more for his benefit than it was for hers. Nora was strong and smart and capable and didn't really need much help from him, but he knew an infant was exhausting so he was there whenever he had free time. "That baby girl is getting heavy though, I swear she's so chubby." He smiled, climbing into the drivers seat and glancing over at his buddy. He was sure it was tough to be away from them right now, missing out on the beginning of Ines' life couldn't be easy. @noahsinclaxr

[noahsinclaxr]

At first Noah wasn't sure if the distance between America and Austria caused for interference, cutting Adem off mid sentence. Still, he found himself holding his breath as the man spoke. Selim's birthday, how could he have forgotten? The days seemed to go by differently across the world, all on his own. Sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worst. He knew Adem still mourned for his brother -- he had been a remarkable man after all, but hearing him say those things pulled on his heart strings, jaw tensing up as he tried to wrap his mind around what to say. This wasn't a conversation to be had over the phone, but it was the only luxury he could afford for Adem right now. "There's a lot of people out there who love you, Adem. Who you know need you." He started, he curled his fingers in a loose fist, realising just how cold they were, while the room was warm. "I know I do. I can speak for Eleanor too, for Nessie.. Seeing the photo's Nora sent me of you and Nes.. I would want her to grow up in a world where uncle Adem shows her the rope, you know? You have so much to offer to people, and I'm proud of you for that, for what you've achieved in the last two weeks alone. Can you at least tell yourself that? That you're doing good? That people care? And believe it?" @adem-sahir

It shocked him just how much hearing Noah's voice could calm him down when he was feeling like losing it. Even if what they had to talk about wasn't pleasant or good, Adem knew that this was the person who could bring him back to earth when he felt like he was drifting away. "I'm...yeah I'm okay I'm just..." His breath caught in his throat and he closed his eyes as he tried to steady his voice. "I'm just having a bad day. It's Selim's birthday and I can't stop thinking about him and all the shit I should have done differently and should have seen the signs and should have..." He shook his head and rubbed at the stubble at his chin. "I always feel like it should have been me and I wanna drink so bad but I've been sober for two weeks and I don't want to fuck it up again. I just need someone to remind me why I'm here. Why I shouldn't say fuck it and drink myself into the grave." @noahsinclaxr

[noahsinclaxr]

It wasn't that he had stepped in to just be a stand in for Adem's brother. Adem was a stand in for his own little brother too. He was often reminded of the fact that he was supposed to have a little brother walking on this earth. Taking care of and for Adem helped fill that hole in his life. If anything, Adem was his brother, which was why it hurt hearing him saying those things. It made him desperate for the fact he was in Europe and he couldn't make his way over to where Adem was right now. "You're trying and you are being a different person. Getting rid of bad habits isn't something that's done in a day, it gets worse before it gets better, and you're calling me when you're at a low." Noah paused, letting out a breath. "Do you know how proud I am of you for doing that? For picking up the phone and being honest, rather than doing what you would have done before?" And he meant it. He hoped that as soon as they would hang up he would power through, having his eye on the finish line. With sobriety, there would never be a finish line, it would be a marathon for the rest of his life, but Noah would be there with as many water bottles as he could carry. "I miss you too, buddy. I'm sorry I'm not there." That was the hardest part. He missed everyone back home, but it was especially hard that he couldn't be there for moments such as these, or for moments where Ines was being her adorable self. He would have to remind himself it would be worth it at the end, which was what Adem needed to do as well. "Let's figure that out together. Time you would normally have spent in a bar.. What could you do instead? Is there a new hobby you can pick up? An instrument you can learn, or a sport?" He suggested, knowing that keeping yourself busy was an effective replacement. "If you learn something new, I'll let you teach me, no matter what it is." @adem-sahir

His eyes were wet and so were his cheeks, though he wasn't sure when he'd started to weep. The tightness in Adem's chest was unbearable and he felt like if he didn't let his pain out somewhere it was going to consume him. For years that coping mechanism had been alcohol. He'd drown himself in the sharp burn of whiskey or tequila and he'd let himself be numbed into thinking he was okay. Without that escape he felt vulnerable, like the shallow depths of his reserves were running dry. He listened to the voice on the other end of the phone, the person who had stepped in to be his big brother when his own had gone, the man who had shielded him from the brunt of his own anger and bitterness. Noah. This was the person who saw the darkest part of his depression and told him he could do it, reminded him he was still a person at the core and that his life mattered. Adem closed his eyes and took in a shuddering breath. "I'm trying so hard. I don't want to be this person anymore. I don't wanna hurt like this anymore." He admitted, rubbing his eyes with the back of his hand and trying to steady his breath. "I fucking miss you man. I know you're doing something important but I feel so alone right now." Being vulnerable with anybody was hard but Noah always made him feel like it was a safe place to do so. "I don't know what to do." @noahsinclaxr

[noahsinclaxr]

"You could never, Adem. Besides, I think it's healthy for our marriage to have you come over once in a while. Don't think I don't know she comments on your... ass-ets." Noah snickered, giving him a light thump with his elbow. All jokes aside, he hoped Adem know that he could count on him and would actually take him up on it. "Don't." He told him, a little bit more stern. "I did what you're doing now when I should've been taking all the help I could get, it won't help you in the long run. You're family, whether you like it or not. Make use of it." @adem-sahir

He lowered his eyes at the way Noah jumped into big brother mode. He always did that for Adem and it reminded him so much of the fact that he had lost his brother that it hurt to look at him. While he'd been at the darkest part of his life, Noah had stepped in wordlessly and filled that space without question. "You and Nora have a really nice little life here and the last thing I want to do is barge in and cause trouble." He said with a smile, shaking his head. He wouldn't ask for help from Noah, not right now when he had a baby and a wife to take care of. Maybe a year ago before all of this new joy was in his life but now it seemed selfish to show up with his pain and ask someone else to fix it. "I'll be alright. Scouts honor." @noahsinclaxr

[noahsinclaxr]

"You and me both, buddy." Noah clapped Adam on the back, not paying attention to the fact the hug might have lasted longer than society might accept for a 'regular hug'. Adem needed it, so Noah was happy to oblige. And truth be told, he needed it just as much, have the unspoken show in actions rather than words. "Oh hell yes." he slacked a sigh of relief, having counted down the days for his Chrismas visit. "First go home and change, and then to the wedding. Nora's already at there for preparations." He shared, buttoning his military jacket so that when they would step outside he'd be protected from the cold. "Have they been okay? Nora says they have been but.. That's Nora for you." @adem-sahir

He was ready to make some more dumb comment about Noah being old but the minute the man dropped his bag and pulled him into a hug, Adem's rough exterior melted away and he fell into the embrace from his brother. "It's really fucking good to see you." Adem said quietly, hugging him tight and lingering just a beat longer than he normally would have. He needed that touch, that comfort, from someone who knew him and loved him despite his shortcomings. There was no need for more words, they both knew the unspoken ones, I missed you, I love you, Thank you for coming. "You ready to go see your wife and your baby?" He asked, patting Noah on the back and snagging his bag from the floor as he led him back to his truck parked out front. @noahsinclaxr
