Mosaic Haiku, Chapter 1
Welcome! I'm writing a series of haiku about the Mosaic! Disclaimer, I don't own any of these images (they're from the TV series adapted from Lev Grossman's series, The Magicians, which aired on SyFy). I'm just writing about them, ekphrastic style (seeing the image is an important reference when reading the poem, so I wanted to group them together). To read more about the project, the form, my author's notes (including a few more haiku), and to eventually see some sketches I made of these scenes, please visit the page for this chapter at AO3 (link below). I'm going to be rolling out the sketches as I have time, so please stay tuned for the rerelease! Either way, I hope you'll enjoy these reflections on the best episode of TV (The Magicians, Season 3, Episode 5, “A Life in the Day”) and my favorite ship, Quentin Coldwater/Eliot Waugh!

-------------(I brightened up the following a bit)-------------
Picture’s thousand words? Our tiles.
Our days, a billion patterns.
Beauty of all life.
Quentin
Life doesn’t stop once
you’re dead. I have to prize Time
free. Breathe. Weep alone.

What's real? I love you
every day. Home's not a place.
Can we go again?
Eliot
Not done being me.
Only time I loved myself:
Your husband, Ted's dad.
Mosaic journal:
Record of our happy days,
our book of patterns
Boredom breeds brainstorms.
Tedium means tenderness
blooms as time grows long.
Eliot
Every night I draw more:
Patterns recalled. Proof we lived
it. Proof I love you.

That day you left home:
we can't promise to be here.
Know your dads love you.
Eliot
Beautiful Quentin.
When will you learn to unwind?
Here, babe. Drink with me.
Quentin
You work too hard, love.
It's hot, watching you make art.
Take a break with me.
Eliot
You're all I want, Q.
Please don't leave. I love you. Wish
I could say. You'd stay.
Eliot
Such good lives. Promise
we'll make them real, soon as I'm
brave enough, my love.
Quentin
You said, "Live your life."
Finally I get my wish.
This is the life, love.

Eliot
I’ll spend a lifetime
contemplating life’s beauty,
as long as you’re there.
Banter
Q says: “Oh, really?”
El’s tease: “Don’t you think so, Q?”
Still fun, all these years.
Subtext: (You’re so cute.)
(No, you.) That smile. Tongue in cheek.
We mean: (I love you.)
(See the lovely slowed down gif of this moment from The Game of Nerds, "The Magicians 'A Life in the Day' Is the Best Episode of the Series to Date: S3:E5 Review with Gifs!" Posted by Michael, Feb. 14, 2018)
Eliot
That one syllable:
"Hey." The sweetest sound I know.
Kissing you all night.
Quentin
I'll do anything
you say, but hot damn, you're in
trouble now, sweetheart.
Time’s tricky. As long
As we’re here, love, making art,
We’ll never grow old.
Eliot
You’ve got a golden
opportunity, Q. Please
tease me back. Yes? Good.
We got so much time:
Make art. Make life. Make love. We
had a family.
Eliot
How could I not love
all that you are, Q? My heart
is yours forever.
Quentin
We weren't finished.
You're not gone as long as I'm
here to remember.
Our own quest, at last!
Thank god we’re here together!
Hope it never ends.

Happy last year to
this quest. But please, not to us.
Worth it to get here.
(View a wonderful GIF of this moment as part of this lovely series of Mosaic GIFs by @whitefluffyyeti.)
Eliot
Tucking you in. Sleep
well, my darlings. I love you
more than life itself.
Quentin
We kissed on this quilt.
You tucked us in tight. Now it
holds you close for me.
Quentin
We miss her so much.
But you're still here, loving us,
making our hearts shine.
Eliot
"Q. Q, hey. Forget
what I just said. You're right. We work.
Thinking clearly now."

Quentin
We solved it, El. You
should be here. How can I turn
back to see you're gone?
Eliot
"It's my home," I told
Umber, not knowing how true
that would one day be.
Eliot
Fairies, cannibals.
The beauty of all life? Sounds
like a welcome change.
Eliot
I just got back, Q.
Hoping to spend time with you.
You love quests. I'm in.
Quentin
Your bunny said, "Love, El."
Once I feared losing magic.
You promised sparkle.
Magic's gone. You're here.
For you, I'd do anything.
Brave gods. Find myself.
Quentin
Our timing was off.
We've hurt a lot, these last years.
Maybe now's our chance.
Glad you're here with me:
Life's better, shared with a friend.
Logic this with me.

This feeling: magic!
Hugging you with all my heart:
this joy is our quest.
Quentin
Now, Teddy, don't leave
without a hug from us both:
some love for the road.
Eliot
These smiles! Holy shit.
I'm so lucky. "Hey, Q. Make
Teddy laugh challenge."
Quentin
Immortalize this,
bitches! Let an artist paint,
so future friends know.
Eliot
I'm telling you, Q:
Let's take our time, have some fun.
The heart has reasons.
Logic alone can't
Solve this: Love wins, and you're so
good, true, beautiful.

Eliot
You jumped at the chance
to help me save Fillory,
though your heart's breaking.
What luck: a nerd god;
a shrine to your dreams, my home.
You speak great fanboy.
First time we see it:
First Portal back. We stand here,
facing something new.
(Eliot's in quotes; Quentin's in italics.)
"Go time." We've got this.
"...the quest is you and me." Just
follow me, stay close.
Teddy
My favorite game:
Papa tosses me so high:
always catches me.
Quentin
At last, the real you.
Thought I'd lost you forever.
Don't walk out that door.

When El proposed, they
both thought of coronation
similarities.
Eliot
I couldn't believe:
But your shining eyes still say
you think I'm worthy.
Quentin
Thinking of a day
you knelt before me like this:
your fate in my hands.
Eliot
Hearing stays longest:
you speak my name with such love,
I'd wake if I could.
"El, it's in Fillory."
Quentin
Fillory kept us
apart with no magic; trapped
you with wife, Fairies.
I wanted wonder
there. Got so much pain. Will I
ever find magic?
Eliot
Morning of our lives,
a quest just for us: dream come true,
no matter where, when.
You say "Fillory"
like it's a bad thing, but it
gave me new life. You.
You light up my life
with teasing, banter, snarky
quips, humor. Such joy.

Took us years to reach
"I love you"—now we say it
every chance we get.
Quentin
You still look stylish—
ruffled shirt, gold specs, head tilt—
my El, through and through.
Eliot
Hand on my shoulder,
twinkle in your eyes—you still
thrill me, Coldwater.
Quentin
Pictures showed my dad,
boy's eyes bright, smart, so careful
holding things. Like you.
Eliot
You carry Teddy
like he's part of you, picture
of love I longed for.
Teddy
Papa loves Daddy's
long hair. So do I. Horse tail
and reins, all in one.
Quentin
Was it worth it? Cost
of gold tile: your life. My heart.
I'd do it again.
Eliot
Are you serious?
Epic quest? You're sure it's me?
Can't wait to tell Q.

Love how déjà vu
enters through their natures: El's
senses, Q's reading.
Eliot
What’s happening? Did
my fairy godfather wave
his wand, “Dreams come true”?
“Bite peach, activate
spell?” Oh, these lovely pieces,
tumbling through my heart.
If only it’s real.
If you could love me—can I?
Please, grant courage too.
Quentin
I’m a man of words:
books saved me, their worlds my life.
So I wrote us real,
Story of our lives,
a letter imbued with us,:
our truth. Remember.
Reading brings it back:
proves it happened. Love enters
through eyes. Drink you in.
Eliot
This taste is unreal.
Best ever. No peach this good.
No peach but Quentin.
Quentin
Best story I’ve read,
and it’s us? Afraid to look:
will you believe me?
Eliot
Don't want to wake up,
face the hard part: "Need to talk."
Easy part: "Love you."
Quentin
Fantasy promised
Wonder, magic, happiness:
Quests, a life well-lived.
But “Fillory is
real” meant danger, death, heartbreak.
Too sad to be king.
Promise, real? Both true.
Love, quest, wonder, joy. Death, grief.
Danger: yes or no?
Notebook solutions:
intellectual Q, math
less daunting than art.
Touch tiles, sort colors.
Feel my way. On-the-fly solves.
Physical Kid El.
"We work" so well: good
fit, great team. Hearts complement.
Pieces interlock.
Eliot
Knowing you're back there,
ready to start where I stop:
how I keep going.

First painting for Mosaic Haiku Chapter 1!
The first watercolor and the first sketch are up for Chapter 1 (in other words, I'm a little under halfway through making the art for the chapter). It's going to take me a while to make all the art for all the chapters posted thus far, but I'll be working steadily and adding them as I have time! (Please check back and refresh your browser--I might be stealth about it!) I'm experimenting a bit with the art for Mosaic Haiku--trying for a more sketch/cartoon/informal style--hope you like it!
