we are the soft air
beneath something beautiful
easily glossed overthe faces between grey buildings
in aged cities,
let the darkness refine
your peripherals
ok?too drunk to wander
home alone
might stumble into
something sharpyeah
we are the collapse
your forgotten grin,
| benevolent god: | okay i'm gonna set everything up really nice and make sure everyone is comfortable and then i'll zoom right in and watch carefully oops is your hunger bar getting low don't worry shh i have that taken care of i have a cheat shhh it's okay keep painting that weird purple thing i love you |
| distant god: | i'll set your life in motion but then i'm gonna pull back and let you do your thing maybe i'll wander the town a bit i'm sure you'll be fine |
| loki: | OOPS WHERE'D THAT DOOR GO I GUESS YOU'RE TRAPPED AND OH NO DID THE POOL LADDER DISAPPEAR I WONDER HOW LONG YOU CAN SWIM FOR HAHAHAHA FUCK YOU MORTAL |
a lake surface in my coffee cup
wakes me, gently.steaming.
no spice, flat earth.
this is Sunday.stomach slides
across the sheets
at last
a morning light
that does not scream.between legs
a calm as natural
as water
he’s stopped shouting
put down his spears
across a campfirefor a field
of quietlips laying, content
across each other
as the sky
across the land.
build a home for yourself,
make it out of what you love
but don’t count on other
people
to give you things to build with
or to approve of it when you’re donebuild with intuition
and humor
and sympathyit will keep the bullshit out
and
more importantly,
when you let the
ones that matter in,
it will glow with
the most incredible
light,
and that light
will give hope
to others stuck out there
in the lonely and
terrible places.so,
build it,
you were born with everything you need
