can’t call you a stranger, but can’t call you up

14 lines from love letters or suicide notes, doc luben / the power unbound, freya marske; photo my own / biotherm (for bill berkson), frank o’hara / georgia, phoebe bridgers / joy is not promised to you, hanif abdurraqib interviewed by ruth awad / wolf or-7, natalie diaz / i’m not speaking first, hala alyan / owl and pussycat some years later, margaret atwood / the dogs i have kissed, trista mateer / i had a dream about you, richard siken

[Image Description: Ten images of text.

1: “The ivy grew too fast. I searched in so many spots. It seemed impossible that I had missed one. But I never found it. How can something be there, and then not there? How do we forgive ourselves for all the things we did not become?”

2: A square photo of the sky at sunset. There are dark trees along the bottom edge. The sky is blue but is mostly covered in clouds. Text in the top left corner reads “The past had a heavy fist around his heart. What he was wait-ing for was for it to physically hurt.” The text is a split up photo of a printed line.

3: “the moon is rising / I am always thinking of the moon rising / I am always thinking of you”

4: Black text on a blue background. “Will you have me / Or watch me fall? / If I fix you / Will you hate me?”

5: “I think what I value most are people who love me enough to be angry at me then come back and still love me. People who are patient with me when they have no right to be. People who know me well enough to know that I am a collage of failures with some really good intentions.”

6: “I confuse instinct for desire - isn’t bite also touch?” Bite and touch are written in italics. The whole line is highlighted in red.

7: “I want to love something. / I want to love something without having to apologise for it. Please don’t tell.”

8: “Anything can become a saint if you pray to it enough -”

9: A photo of a poem written out in a lined notebook, the spiral binding is visible on the right edge of the image. The first line is in block capitals. “I Swear Somewhere This Works

In a parallel universe or another world / or a different life

we sit across from each other

at the kitchen table

and go over / the grocery / list.”

10: “In the dream I don’t tell anyone, you put your head in my lap.” End ID.]

[...] We're at the mercy of any stray rabid mongrel or thrown stone or cancerous ray, or our own bodies: we were born with mortality's hook in us, and year by year it drags us where we're going: down. [...]

“In ten years, you’ll be on a stamp,

where anyone at all can lick you. Ah

well, my dear, our leaky cardboard

gondola has brought us this far,

us and our paper guitar.

No longer semi-immortal, but moulting owl

and arthritic pussycat, we row

out past the last protecting

sandbar, towards the salty

open sea, the dogs’-head gate,

and after that, oblivion.

But sing on, sing

on, someone may still be listening

besides me. The fish for instance.

Anyway, my dearest one,

we still have the moon.”

From “Owl and Pussycat, Some Years Later” by Margaret Atwood

#i adore this woman #margaret atwood #owl and pussycat some years later #read the whole poem #its about love but not in a corny way #in a we’re old af and still like each other the most kind of way #which is the best way

journeying back into the woods.

owl and pussycat some years later, margaret atwood / andrew joseph white / the language of the birds, richard siken / stay gold, first aid kit / @creacherkeeper / reliable narrator, chase petra / tommy olofsson (tr. by jean pearson) / ribs, the crane wives / @petrichor-moss-and-lightning / mercy, rudy francisco

[Image Description: Ten images of text.

1: “Anything can become a saint if you pray to it enough -”

2: A tweet from Andrew Joseph White (AJWhiteAuthor) that reads “building a pantheon for a story, and the monstrous trans forest deity who specifically protects queer and disabled children is, imho, very very cool”

3: “The night sky is vast and wide.

They huddled closer, shoulder to shoulder, painted themselves in herds, all together and apart from the rest. They looked at the sky, and at the mud, and at their hands in the mud, and their dead friends in the mud. This went on for a long time.

4 To be a bird, or a flock of birds doing something together, one or many, starling or murmuration. To be a man on a hill, or all the men on all the hills, or half a man shivering in the flock of himself. These are some choices.

The night sky is vast and wide.

A man had two birds in his head—not in his throat, not in his chest—and the birds would sing all day never stopping. The man thought to himself, One of these birds is not my bird. The birds agreed.”

4: “What if our hard work ends in despair? / What if the road won't take me there? / Oh, I wish, for once / We could stay gold / What if to love and be loved's not enough? / What if I fall and can't bear to get up?”

5: A discord screenshot. The message is typed in all caps. “They both wanted to be friends 😭😭”

6: “Now we’re circling around the ring / It’s 1v1 and here’s the thing / You may be better in a fight / But I’ve got more to lose tonight”

7: “Let’s be the same wound if we must bleed. / Let’s fight side by side, even if the enemy / is ourselves: I am yours, you are mine.”

8: “The dark doesn’t frighten me / I chose to close my eyes / It is mine, it is mine / The night doesn’t frighten me / I chose to let it thrive”

9: “i don’t know where others end // where I begin. i’m more patchwork than human. a mosaic of every person i’ve ever known; threads of love made manifest.”

10: “If I am ever caught in the wrong place / at the wrong time, just being alive / and not bothering anyone,

I hope I am greeted / with the same kind / of mercy.” End ID.]
