Wishes
Chemicals glow as
A meteor disintegrates.
A white hot streak through the sky,
World changing, then silent.
Somewhere a firefly makes a wish
To shine as bright and beautiful
As a rock in the atmosphere.
Little does he know,
The silence never stops.

Mace: *dragging Kenobi and Vos out of the slam poetry night by their tunic collars and stops Tholme and Jinn from leaving them behind* No, you heard our rules after last week’s incident, they’ve been banned!
Qui-Gon: *ready to argue* What in the galaxy could my sweet baby padawan have done to get kicked out?
Tholme: I must admit, despite Jinn’s willful ignorance, I understand that mine could get banned, but he never mentioned it so I would like to know what he did.
Mace: Obi-Wan wrote a poem about a galaxy wide war that gave seventeen people True Visions and I had a shatterpoint migraine till last night. So for him it’s either me or him in that room and I’m the host so it’s me.
Qui-Gon: *taking a sheepish Obi-Wan into his arms for a pity cuddle cause that poem had led to like four straight days of council sessions and an enslaved Dathomiri child being found in a senator’s house on Naboo* To be fair. Obi-Wan had some good points.
Tholme: I’m scared to ask. What did mine do?
Mace: He didn’t write a poem so he went up to the mic and started licking it. It was the most disgusting noise I ever heard. If he gets near a mic I might have to drop kick him. Safer for him out here.
Tholme: *deep sigh of sadness* Yeah that sounds like something he’d do.

Do you ever like. Think about that moment in ep 20 where they have to kill Lilly and John asks Arthur to repeat what he says so Lilly can hear it ? and he’s crying, and Johns crying, and in the end instead of saying “Goodbye, Lilly” he says “Goodbye, Faroe” and John never does being it up ?
You ever think of that and then remember that with John and Arthur’s melded mind there’s a bleed-through effect and some of what Arthur knows John will know as well ?
Do you ever wonder if those are the words that Arthur said to Faroes grave and John repeated them years later, thinking they were his own ?
Do you ever wonder that ?

been longing for sweet lemonade in sunshine
flowers blooming in spring and warm weather
dancing around my room to your songs
waiting for hot summer nights again in winter
because they remind me of you and i
haven’t missed you this hard in a while
my heart has been weeping since the leaves fell in october
- written by me

Ducks out on the lake; prayer unanswered
another 13x01 poem. i was rewatching the episode and couldn't get over the beauty of the surroundings; the movement of the water and the family of ducks in the background of a shot of the pyre. the sunlight and saturation of this episode haunts its grief and i can't stop writing about it
transcript under cut!
Ducks out on the lake; prayer unasnwered
There are ducks out on the lake.
Behind the pyre,
behind the smell of gasoline on wood
they are a family silhouetted on the water.
Everything is still:
there is no wind to fake breath
in your stiff lungs under the cream sheet
but the water is always moving;
in the sun it is shimmering, tipsy,
blue and glistening into the sky
as the sun sends long shadows
over the purpleing hills on the horizon.
I want you to say sorry for leaving.
I closed my eyes shut praying for you to come back
and the sun pressed in,
lit the skin of my eyelids golden.
I strike the match to burn your body
and there are ducks out on the lake,
everything living.

Bought myself some bar soap that smells like honeysuckle and jasmine.
(someone took my small childhood, in a neighborhood built out of sidewalk cracks and dry breezes that smell of cigars, and plucked the tiny, crawling greenery out of it, those tiny white petals blazed so long ago into my mind that they’re as familiar as my mother’s heartbeat.)
(someone took my uncoordinated legs and soil blanketed tongue, those dusty scabs that rubbed away to new white skin, and lovingly gathered the soft orange blooms that made their way along the old chainlink fence that embraced us.)
(they ground it into a memory into a dream into a lifetime, and wrapped it in a gentle eggshell, tiny flowers printed along the edges.)
(i walked into the little corner shop with a friend, admiring the pretty soaps and salts.)
(every smell was so distinct.)
(i couldn’t choose one i liked best.)
(i kneeled down to reach at the lower cabinets, grabbing the first bar i saw.)
(without bothering to read the label, i smelled the chalky thing.)
(and i knew it was for me.)
I really like it.

hold me while i bleed:
a beautiful supernova of crimson surrounding us
until i can feel is you
and the beating of your heart
echoing every drop of blood on the clean, white tile.
oh, i've soiled your hoodie--it's spreading;
and i can feel my heart begin to slow-
won't you wait here with me, darling?
hold me together while my wounds weep?
it will be alright if i go like this;
in your arms with your starry eyes staring down at me.
i don't need my breath anymore-
just the warmth in your smile and
your hands in my hair and
your lips at my cheek,
those tears coating my face
until all my brain can register is you.
if i die tonight, i'll do so happily;
you know i wasn't meant to last long anyways.
but i'll hold you in my heart as i cross that threshold;
drink in the sight of you
and the sound of your voice urging me to stay awake
as the warmth slips away from me
and your hands dig into my arms,
begging me to hold on
until the ambulance sirens pierce the night.
it will be too late for me, love-
my soul will have already left-
but, i know you'll plead with me
to hold on just a bit longer
and smile up at you like i did before.
if it will help, i am only sleeping,
dreaming of us swaying together,
like sunflowers in the wind.
you needn't know what greets me on the other side-
my fears and flaws and the demons i've been chased by for far too long.
know i am thankful;
know i love you more than anything, and even this can't take that from me.
i would rather no one else holding me now,
cradling my face as my heart comes to a stop.

Somewhere
Deep in the poison air
And far within
The frozen wastes
You will find
A mountain
And somewhere
Near its base
Buried deep beneath
What once was grass
And stone
And dirt
There is a statue
Not unlike
The one that weeps
High on the mountain peak
Whose tears heal
And drown
In equal measure.
And
Around it
Curls a skeleton
In a dying lover’s embrace

you breathe into me,
sculpting a body of space dust.
complementary binary stars locked in a gravitational embrace.
we push and pull until both cease to exist,
two halves of a soul reunited.
you pull me closer, caress my cheek,
and claim you’re trying to keep us afloat;
i close my eyes and let your deceit wash away the decay.
but oh, darling, i can’t shake the feeling
that maybe we’re drowning.

In the early morning
My tongues tied
So I say
Blushing
Instead of gushing
To describe, the way
Waters felled

“just one more kiss”
“Five more minutes”
It does not matter if it is five hundred of these remarks or one million.
Eternity would not be long enough. I would still want more time with you.
