Ieva Dapkevicius - Gravedigging

In the brackish light, pale mushrooms crowning from the dirt like molars in a row:

I whisper a rabbit’s prayer and draw the black fur of my shadow closer to my neck. When my lips part, they crack as tree bark, and from them, an inky sap trickles down, marks my skin.

God of stains, abandon me now.

The unmarked cot hollowed out amid these roots: mine or yours, or am I only a living ghost of you?

Bloodless hands, bruise-mottled and blue; a tremor in my voice betrays me. The god listens, does not speak. Omnivorous beast, the earth, too, has its teeth to swallow with.

Oakmoss, heart-rot, blackthorn smoke and bitter ash— I know it all too well, how the hosts of the dead bloom as inkcaps fed on petrichor after a dry spell.

- Gravedigging by Ieva Dapkevicius

[Image Description: Three photos of sketchbook pages that have cut up paint chips in them, with quotes written next to them. On the first page: Next to a dark-reddish purple the quote reads, "Judas: Why did you me good enough...so that you could've loved me? Stephen Adly Guirgis". Next to a orangish-red it reads "And love isn't a fact. It's a hunch at first. And then later it's a series of decisions, a lifetime of decisions. That's love. Welcome to Night Vale". Next to a dark blueish green the quote reads, "Someone has to leave first. This is a very old story. There is not other version of this story. Richard Siken". Next to a dark pink the quote reads, "ORESTES: This was always going to happen. She's been dead since the beginning. Aeschylus". On the second page: Next to a dark yellow, "People speak of hope as if it is this delicate, ephemeral thing made of whispers and spider's webs. It's not. Hope has dirt on her knuckles, the grit of cobblestones in her hair, and just spat out a tooth as she rises for another go. @CrowsFault". Next to a brighter orangey pink, "Is that all you want to be? Liked? Wouldn't you rather be passionately and voraciously desired? Margaret Atwood". Next to a blue-green color the quote reads (with each sentence alternating in color as if it's a conversation), "What were you before you met me? I think I was drowning. And what are you now? Water. Ocean Vuong". Next to a mellow yellow, "And yet if a bee lands on my shoulder // I think I should let it stay a while, let // the wind, thick with honey, caress us. Ieva Dapkevicius". On the third page: next to a light dusty pink, "I know what I want is impossible. If I can make my language flat enough, exact enough, if I can rinse each sentence clean enough [...] if I can give myself enough white space, maybe I could do it. I could tell you this story while walking out of this story. I could - it all could - just disappear. Maggie Nelson". /end ID]

i'm sick so it's craft time <3 each quote is matched w the color it reminded me of the most out of my recently acquired lowe's paint chips

decay: the creative prompt for november at the the orangery literary society 🦷

white milk / strawberry syrup (excerpt) by @mothprincess / natura morta (detail), gentl & hyers / what counts as suicide (excerpt) by @bies-from-wildland / food bank, peter lippmann / wormwood (excerpt) by ieva dapkevicius (@feytouched) / decaying skeletons, caitlyn mccormack / mesocricetus auratus: an elegy (excerpt) by @sealavender / don't let your body fall onto the bathroom floor by @girlcrucified

transcripts & image descriptions below.

[ID: a compilation of poems interspersed with pictures of visual artworks on the theme of decay.

1. poem excerpt: "last time i saw her was when i was freshly eleven / & i blew out the last candle on the funfetti cake. // it was before her flesh melted down like chocolate ganache / & flowers pirouetted through her carousel ribs."

2. photograph of a decaying bouquet of various flowers, their petals browning and wilting, cast in deep shadows against a dark background.

3. poem excerpt: "years later / i put the shards into a frame / autumnal branches of yet to be dead trees / and with every fractured painting / i commemorate lost lives"

4. still life painting of various rotten and spoilt food items on a table with an off-white tablecloth, against a darker wall: wrinkled apples in a plate, mouldering cheese, stray husks and stems littered around; a tall bowl with grapes and other fruits, a bottle of curdled milk, bread gone green, and pomegranates, figs, and quince in various states of decay.

5. poem excerpt: "And still the seething star / plummets, melting its shadows/ in hottest shades of blue, and hides / itself in the root cellar of the world: / amid blood-black beetroots, clotted mold / and turnips swelling like tumors, / there it rots forgotten, / and if it still wails its siren song, it is as good / as silent when there is no one left to listen."

6. crocheted skeletons of winged animals in delicate, lace-like white thread laid on a black surface.

7. poem excerpt: "Another eternity broken; my grief was broken down / in the gizzard of an earthworm, and my guilt bloomed / with drooping head and winter petals, and beneath the / soles of my feet, forgiveness speaks, waiting for me / to listen."

8. collage containing a poem excerpt: a cutout of a feminine figure with short hair lying on their side, eyes closed, wearing warm-toned clothing; cutouts of black and white eyes and star doodles surround it, against a white background. below, surrounded by more eye cutouts and a vulture, the following text: "Don't let your body fall onto the bathroom floor. Don't let your body decay on the bathroom floor. Don't let the vultures hover over your decaying body on the bathroom floor. Don't let the vultures eat your already decaying body on the bathroom floor. Do not let it. Let it. No. Do not let it. What? Do not let the vultures. Do not let your body. No. Let your body. Leave your body alone."
