Terminal (12): Oh, the light!

TERIMINAL: Oh, the light! - Chapter 12 of an #epicpoem inspired by #escapril2024 prompts telling the story of a six-year-old with #childhoodcancer

An epic poem inspired by Espcaril 2024’s prompts. First, there is a buzzing, like a bug in Aviana’s ear, or a tiny hummingbird zooming by, and it is so loud and quiet at the same time that she can barely process that it isn’t real and that nobody else is hearing it; Second, there is helium in her veins, or at least it feels like it because she is absolutely certain that she is starting to…

Change of State

I am poured from cup to cup. Pour, splash, overflow, repeat. Droplets of heartache, desire, dream run in tear tracks. Salt water river-lets. Some days the tap won't stop dripping, until I am gulley, overrun and burbling. Ice cold, frozen lack. Cracks from the thaw. Crack, ripple, flood. Maybe one day, I'll be steam. Dissipating, free, thoughtless and full.

do your eyes glint the same

as they do in my mind?

or are you imaginings of a better future?

is it delusion to believe in a better future

is it delusion that says i can control the outcome

that i can control every brushstroke

that i can fill in the shadows ever so nicely

and neatly

can i make it so my shadows match yours

can i make it so my light meets yours

can i make it so all the colors are better than you and i have ever seen?

can i make us a pretty portrait?

or is that too much for me to carry

is that too much to expect

human, err(or)

They say to err is to be human and I cannot help but think that it is all I have. to stray off the beaten path to seek what cannot be seen- to err is to be skewed to be slightly off the pace because life isn’t straight or narrow and the future isn’t actually in front of you. You pull it from the aether and spin it with your own hands, hold on as it sinks in and pray to your deity of choice that They stay out of it. For this life is about believing you can conjure control out of chaos and I cannot help but think that unexpected is all that I am for what is the most unexpected thing in this irrational world than to be alive

Terminal (11): Posture

TERIMINAL: Posture - Chapter 11 of an #epicpoem inspired by #escapril2024 prompts telling the story of a six-year-old with #childhoodcancer

An epic poem inspired by Escparil 2024’s prompts. The doctors are asking her to hold her head up, but – she finds it too heavy to have upon her shoulders; Aviana’s mother tells the doctor that she complains of back pain and a stiff neck, which he says is from the slumping of her body forward; Then her father asks, “Well, what should we do? She says her head is too heavy to lift?” The…

day one of escapril is finally here!!!

1.) change of state

driving off into the sunset, same old worries packed, but a change of scenery is still not to be underestimated,

nice to cry in a different supermarket once in awhile, new people to stare at you as you lose control of your body's tiny salt water sea.

if true change escapes you, you can try dragging your well-worn self around for a little longer opposite these new strangers until they too realise they've fallen for a fugitive.

yet another motel with the lights too bright and your neighbours fighting all night but drifting off, the cars on the highway almost sound like the soft lapping of the ocean around your feet in another state.

this long, long life and everywhere you go you already are, so what can you do but get back in the car

roll down the windows, listen to the crashing waves and how easily you disappear into the rushing noise all around you.

- ego

soy soy mis pies ásperos que caminan tanto soy mi odio y mi amor por mis pechos, en ese orden soy la bonita línea de mis hombros y mi cara soy mi espalda flexible soy mis brazos delgados y mis piernas todavía grandes soy el número en la balanza soy mis manos con las que canto soy mi música y mi arte, que es más grande que mis palabras soy mis palabras soy la euforia de crear soy mi impotencia, mi frustración, mi ira profunda soy los moretones en mis piernas soy el inmensurable amor que siento a veces y no quiero dejar morir soy la indiferencia que a veces lo deja morir soy mis ojos hinchados de llorar y arrugados de reír soy el inmenso vacío que siento y no sé cómo llenar soy yo misma en la persona que quiero que lo llene soy mi tristeza, soy radiante soy adicta, obsesiva, soy lenta soy el miedo que me paraliza soy el valor que me mueve soy mis hermanos y cómo los amo soy mis padres en todo lo que hago soy mirar por la ventana soy mi abuela en mi tristeza y quizás en mi fuerza soy mis amigos y cómo los amo soy mis amantes y lo que he encontrado de mí en ellos soy el caminar con alguien al amanecer soy el hacerlo sola y escuchar el viento y mis pasos y los árboles y mis latidos soy el silencio y mi silencio soy el decir lo que importa soy los mil colores que nadie ve soy el gris que me nubla la vista soy mi soledad soy rara, complicada, nunca alguien con quien quedarse soy sencilla, fácil de amar soy práctica, soy emocional soy mi mirada profunda soy sexual, soy sensual soy inocente, ignorante soy deseo, ardor, pasión soy invisible soy inadecuada soy bienvenida soy amada soy una molestia soy insuficiente soy grandísima, lo abarco todo soy insignificante, dispensable soy infinita, inefable soy efímera soy hasta que ya no sea más

modern medusa

every picture you’ve seen of medusa looks the same:

empty socket eyes, black hole mouth,

hair a ragged nest of grass snakes.

you’ve always wondered:

what it would be like

to be under her thrall:

eyes fixated on hers, unable to look away

(of course you don’t know it,

but you’ve always imagined them to be green,

like the plants growing on your windowsill.)

perseus defanged the beast,

severed her head and held it up,

a trophy for everyone to admire.

(you’ve always imagined that empty mouth

would be filled with regrets:

wasn’t i beautiful?

wasn’t i young and full of life?

now see what’s become of me--

men avert their eyes

and praise the boy who slew me.)

it was never your fault,

you want to whisper to the statue,

you were just the scapegoat in their terrible game.

(the statue’s mouth is open so wide

you think it might swallow you whole.)

modern medusa flicks cigarette ash to the ground,

runs a hand through her writhing curls, says,

perseus never killed me,

only thought he did.

it’s a shame, really--

the boy was so easy to fool.

-L.R.
