I love you, therefore you are here. For the first time in days I got dressed; and I walked outside this morning, and I saw a new heaven and a new earth.

From "For Frank Stanford" by Franz Wright, out of God's Silence

The long silences need to be loved, perhaps more than the words which arrive to describe them in time.

🙃 Regular reminder that while Hozier has amazing love songs, he is ALSO very outspoken about his leftist politics, specifically anti-fascism, anti-racism, reproductive rights, Palestinian rights and more.

Take Me To Church and Foreigner’s God are scathing critiques of organized religion, specifically the Catholic Church and the colonization of Ireland.

Moment’s Silence is about oral sex but it’s ALSO about how that specific sexual act is often distorted to a show of power rather than that of love.

Nina Cried Power is an homage to various (mostly Black) civil rights activists from the US and Ireland and a call to follow their path.

Be criticizes anti-migrant policies and Trump and his ilk.

Jackboot Jump is about the global wave of fascism and about protest and resistance.

Swan Upon Leda is about reproductive rights and the violent colonial oppression of Ireland and Palestine.

Eat Your Young is about the ruinous way the 1%/capitalism and arms dealers prioritize short-term profit over everything else to the detriment of the youth/99%

Butchered Tongue is about Irish and other indigenous languages being suppressed and erased by imperial powers.

If any of the above surprised you, please, please delve deeper into Hozier’s music, you’re missing such an important part of his work.

A Means Of Creation

remnants of a life misplaced

dissolving by accidents of timing

-----

regrets a steady tide moving over

emotions evaporated in choices

-----

behavior flows and requires the

implicit desire to become a force

-----

of rapture, the aged spots tell a

story of struggles with hands week

-----

with prayers, one finds solace beyond

our reach as we shuffle to bed in

-----

silent breaths, which are the ones

to regret for the decisions of an

-----

unknown force created by yourself for

we need truth but succumb to the lies

-----

betrayed by our ignorance of choice for

our truth seeks above our holy god's silence

-----

wishful thinking causes pain in your retreat

for the inner self alone unnourished abandoned

-----

for our need to be present in the physical sense is

more important than knowing your other realities

Why is the winter light

disturbing, and who

if anyone shares this impression?

If somebody enters the room

am I going to stop being afraid?

Why am I afraid

to go grocery shopping?

I suppose there is a pill for that, but

why? Surrounded by so vast

a cloud of witnesses

why do I feel this alone

in the first place? Is heaven a place

and if so, will our poor

hairy speechless forebears-

all millions of years of them-

be there to greet us

if and when we arrive? The meek

shall inherit Auschwitz, too,

if they're not careful. Where do such obscenities

of thought originate? And are the words

we speak being mercilessly recorded, or

are we speaking the already written

premeditated words? Why

do I want to live

forever, and the next day

fervently wish I had died

when I was young? Why do I abruptly feel blessed?

And if (and it does) this city harbors

a single individual suffering

unendurably, am I

prepared to take his place?

*

Empty me of the bitterness and disappointment of being nothing but

myself

Immerse me in the mystery of reality

Fill me with love for the truly afflicted

that hopeless love, if need be

make me one of them again --

Awaken me to the reality of this place

and from the longed-for or remembered place

And more than thus, behind each face

induct, oh introduce me in --

to the halting disturbed ungrammatical soundless

words of others' thoughts

not the drivel coming out of our mouths

Blot me out, fill me with nothing but consciousness

of the holiness, the meaning

of these unseeable, all

these unvisitable worlds which surround me:

others' actual thoughts -- everything

I can't perceive yet

know

know it is there.

The Bat-Adoption Papers are literal Magic Contracts

So! In the Deified Batman AU (the AU where the Belief of the peoples of Gotham accidentally Ascended Batman to minor godhood), the Bat Adoption Papers would be a fun concept.

Batman is a God of The Night, Fear, and Protection. Specifically, the protection of Children, which is one of his biggest motivators. Meaning, it's a big part of his Divine Domain.

So when he, a God of Protection and Children, adopts his own Child? It's kind of a big deal.

His Adoption Papers basically become Magical Contracts that claim Dick to him as his own Son, basically turning Dick into a Demigod by the fact that he is the Son of a God.

Then each time Batman adopts a kid, they become a Demigod as well. Maybe after enough time, and after they forge their own Identities, they could become Minor Gods of their own? Idk, fun idea

Why do I bring this up?

Well, when Danny eventually joins the JLA, and runs into Batman, all he sees in a God of the Night, who takes one look at him, and then pulls out a Magical Binding Contract from his Belt.

Needless to say, he books it.
