Your order is my wilderness, Father. I cannot walk between the high rows of hedges and find my way out. I am not out of the maze. Stifled. I am trying to breathe, but I cannot. I am hardly breathing.

Haunted Pauses
The spaces between sentences expand
When we’re stranded together,
On the same brittle patch
Of our crumbling isle
–
We both fight to pry
The heavy verses from our minds,
To exhale the trapped fumes
Still billowing through our bodies
–
The quiet moments hover
As our phantom reminder,
Of how our tyrants barked
And drew streams of their blood
–
Let the silence drift
For fellow…

This friend, crushed and stifled by the formidable arm of a poulp, ground to pieces by its iron mandibles, was not destined to repose with his companions in the peaceful waters of the coral cemetery.

My husband is a man who collects things he can use. A pistol, a pocket-watch, a woman's love, a wife....
I'm obsessed with That Scene(tm) between Katya and Andrei in the California Director's Cut Rerelease of Goncharov, so I did a lighting study inspired by the film's Art Deco Posters! Little details like Katya never referring to her husband by his first name really add to Andrey and Katya's tense dynamic, which is one of the most underrated parts of the movie imo.

ಸヮಸ !!
Physical Detail Ask Meme:
ಸヮಸ: Do they lean back or forward when they laugh hard? Do they snort? Slap their knee? Do that seal-esque clap? Do they often laugh to the point that you can’t hear their laugh anymore?
Snorting is definitely something. Short, quick, and airy almost? ALMOST unnoticeable. Sun's never actually laughed to the point of tears, to the point of like holding his stomach tightly because he was going to develop even harder rock hard abs from laughing too hard. He's never laughed to the point of clapping his hands together, slapping his knee or his thigh, or running around in circle, or repeating the words that made him laugh. The most Sun's done is...hold back a laugh that isn't even strong enough to be LOUD. A chuckle is the furthest. A flick tail movement is also just an indicator that he's enjoyed what was said or done. But that's about it.

You must be quiet. Your father is reading. I am so quiet and so good. I hardly breathe.

A queer stifling feeling came over them, as if the air were too thin or too scanty for breathing.

Melodies of Revolt
Winding down
In a burning spiral
Collapsed
In fragments
Bleeding out the venom
Of these fearsome times
–
The swill becomes a whisper
A secreted charm
Soothing the exhausted
To a long sought slumber
–
Encircled
By the city’s furious refrain
This inner melody revolts
And screams from the gutters
–
Leveling the walls
Of the concrete maze
Its deceiving mirage
In…
