Characters who fake their deaths, but you frame it like they're Orpheus.

They have to keep walking. They cannot look back. They cannot listen to the tears or the cries or the silence behind them.

They have to keep walking until they've made it through, because looking back will doom the ones they're trying to save.

i know we've all been warned that art is the biggest snitch but no one tells you that reading your own writing will make you realize things about yourself that you wouldn't confess to while being waterboarded

#interstellar.

A   H Y M N   F O R   S E R P E N T S ; the witch queen 

❝The Blue Lady arose in a spill of starlight, sublime and glowing and favored, with dragonflies in her hair and eyes blinking in each of her palms.❞ 

feast day ; first of starless moon, maiden year 

exaltation ; lady of the sixth great order of conjuring 

benefactor ; the sixth hand of magic 

hagiography ; little is known of the witch queen before her EXALTATION, the only certainty that she was found naked in the great sea and taken to wife by the eldest son of the HIGH KING of cymheim. though the TOMB where she rests remains hidden to even the ORDERS, her extant worshipers grow more vengeful with each passing moon.

i love when poetry does that (makes every moment of my life stack on top of one another and sit on my heart until i am sure every cell in my body remembers it is alive again)
