Vintage Frank Lloyd Wright. :: Art Deco

* * * *

the blessing of the old woman, the tulip, and the dog :: alicia ostriker

To be blessed said the old woman is to live and work so hard God’s love washes right through you like milk through a cow

To be blessed said the dark red tulip is to knock their eyes out with the slug of lust implied by your up-ended skirt

To be blessed said the dog is to have a pinch of God inside you and all the other

dogs can smell it

Sweet summer and its nighttime Their soul too would whisper Of a radiant wish The world's core between us What I knew then To be the celestial Falling Descending from whatever grace was left

Love

The smell is sweet like summer Or like wood hot from the sun It tastes like real vacation Like pure and simple fun

It feels unique and tender Like snow in springtime found Like when you eat a loaded nacho Making a wet and crispy sound

It breaks with all that’s normal Breaks with reason, breaks with rhyme It tears through all your planning And it wrecks your sense of time

Sometimes things run badly Eat the nacho, bite your tongue You get an awesome smelling summer But heat constrains you to your home

It’s not all about the good things It’s how you treat the bad You shrug off the minor setback You grow forward on your path

‘Cause if she smells sweet as summer Is special like snow that’s falling late Despite the heat, you take her out Eating nachos in the shade

never let anyone tell you that trawling through mediocre victorian poetry isn't worth it. we just happened upon an absolute BANGER of a worm poem. go read it or else 🪱🪱🪱

#was calling beckett and scouring the works of eliza cook looking for lesbianism #good amounts of lesbianism in evidence but unfortunately very little in the way of good poetry #APART from this worm one which DOES NOT MISS #eliza cook #is there a thriving eliza cook tag on tumblr. somehow i doubt it #the hand of the giant and the heart of the brave / must turn weak and submit to the worm and the grave!#not an original theme ofc but GOD the treatment is delightful. so fresh so gleeful some rlly nice use of sound. rlly solidly constructed #words #gay belligerence

FOUND family??? you think i just found them like this??? babes this is FORGED family. Me & the bros were scrap metal in a junkyard (very valuable, very sharp, very dangerous, uncared for) and we GOT IN THE FUCKING FIRE TOGETHER. WE did this. we said I AM NOT LEAVING YOU and melted into each other for better or for worse (it’s for better) and we are A FUNCTIONAL UNIT now. DO NOT SEPARATE. BATTERIES FUCKING INCLUDED. FOUND family my ass, we built this non-nuclear family unit from the ground up, don’t devalue this!!! it was is and will be a labour of love!!!

Hold me close to myself The very recent ancient truths There's a treasure on the ledge and there is The fear The shadow that I might see Might be When I fall out of my own hands

Blackout poetry exists on a dual axis from "banal" to "insightful" on the input side and "kind of deep" to "incredibly fucking dumb" on the output side, and while taking something banal and producing something kind of deep is well and fine, for my money taking something insightful and rendering it incredibly fucking dumb is where the real art is.
