Thinking about the way Pix’s “My name has been Pixlriffs” implies uncertainty. Has been, an ongoing thing. It has been Pixlriffs for this time that we have seen him. As if it’s an active process. Continuous, yet not constant. A choice. It has been Pixlriffs because he wanted it to be. Thinking about an archeologist in a ruined world. Restoring the past and seeing it in front of him. How does he know what it looked like unless he was there? A man who is facilitating the story of others. “It wouldn’t make sense for me to be there” because the historian of the ancient world does not have a place in the present, or so he would like you to believe. Thinking about a knower-of-other-worlds. Someone who saw people he never met come through the riff rift and knew them anyway. A man who knows another world in more detail than it’s inhabitants- who could know the lives of every hermit? I’m thinking about a man, Pixlriffs, he decides, that is ever changing by nature. A king, a historian, a teller-of-tales. I’m thinking about the importance of names. “My name has been Pixlriffs”

And so it has.

Unhurried

I.

sage

eucalyptus

the soft purr of the ocean

rain-damp pines

a deer.

it is still, that deer,

and so am I

we watch each other wide-eyed,

waiting,

then we go our own ways.

I remember that moment

the deer has likely forgotten.

I wonder why,

the memory comes now.

II.

waking each day

in no hurry to rise,

intriqued by the day barely begun.

sourdough bread,

chamber music over coffee--

the right sort of cafe

and what else?

the possibility of love?

a sudden adventure

presenting itself?

possibilities for men

much younger than me.

III.

the sea,

giving me time,

I won't hurry,

but I'll be along,

after a pause,

a wait,

then gone my own way.

-- Michael Boiano

Thinking about how you convey lingering and pause with movement.

Because you can’t see things without negative space.

I can’t quite communicate the thought but basically, in my mind, there is this little animation playing. You can’t see the healing without the pain. You cannot linger in the sun without the knowledge you must go inside.

If you could stay forever, it wouldn’t matter that you want to.

More poetry for you

A short one this time

I'm a Summers child

I sup on rays of dust suspended in oxygen and filtered through sunlight

My bones are simply vehicles for the green scent of life growing against all odds on a cliff face

The cold pulls the will to live out of me, away from me, like a sieve my pores turn to the gaping maw of winter as all the me-ness of me seeps out and freezes with the tulips buried under snow

what does one do with the wretch once it is caught, the flesh too rotten to touch, a walking corpse that does not know the monster he is or the harm he had caused

a hunt; completed but with no end

but in all seriousness, please watch my favourite performance of this monologue of all time

[mindthewitch]

It's like lightning and the thunder that always follows. You see it first, out of the corner of your eye. That quick purple flash under clouds. And then you know it's coming. The sound is inevitable at this point. The thunder shakes you from your very core, no more prepared for it than you ever are. It rumbles and fades like it's reluctant to leave. Then, you wait for the next flash and hold your breath. That's what we are. You're the lightning, the warning. I'm the thunder, the inescapable reaction to you.

(Pixlriffs lore in which I experiment with iambic pentameter)

It takes not mortal blood to trick a god

And as such “My name has been Pixlriffs”

Is not a claim made from a mortal tongue

The god of Stratos knows not who he meets

In truth the miss is not his fault alone

His immortality is not yet old

And memory seems not to serve him well

The past- a copper king and mesa home

Are lost in mist from rising to divine

The archeologist hopes the flood of power treated his friend well

Yet he remains under a spell to hide

How would how should how could he tell him now

This life is not the first that they have lived

How could he speak of humanity lost

The end of empires similar to these

The end of the world

This burden need not land upon his friend

Indeed the truth of time takes tolls to learn

For now, the god may believe in the lore

The emperor of past will watch him grow

And as such: “My name has been Pixlriffs”

Uncertainty within the tense he chose

His friend, his kin, his kind might yet unmask

An answer for a question he won’t ask

#I once threatened to write in iambic pentameter #and voila #it's kinda clunky atm but I'm working on it #it's very fun to work with #more pixlriffs lore because I can't be stopped #I'm normal about him #pixlriffs #joel smallishbeans #empires smp #empires s1 #empires s2 #empires pixl #empires joel #iambic pentameter #poetry of a sort
