Poetry

Let the Sparrows InI.
Blackbirds are resting on the power lines,
Their silhouettes form the notation to
A dawn song set on the sheet music of
Telephone poles contrasted by the sun.
Curled leaves are land mines littered
On the lawn where imprints of twigs
And a nurturing robin's tracks collect.
Branchlets and leaflets stem from
Porch step railings and mailboxes;
The numbers read even on the
East side of the asphalt:
Seven-seven-thirty-six.
The engraved letters on
The siding reads, "Davis."
This house is home to family
So let the sparrows in.
The house,
With its branching hallways
And
Overhanging décor
And
Furniture rooted to the floor
Let the Sparrows In by ^NicSwaner
Subtly brilliant, with imagery crisp enough
to taste, quiet yet forceful emotion, and
a gentle, pulling rhythm, that pulses
throughout like the heartbeat of the poem.

for unseeing eyesladen with sky
we stumbled
and painted mockingbirds
on loveless branches
folding in our slender limbs
and ducking under our own
voices, fidgety and frail
against the wall of night.
between the dipping blades
and drawn shoulders
we learned to craft our words
steady-soft,
a drumming rain
that carved canyons
in open hearts and
drew the sunshine to
our supping lips.
keen-eyed, we watched
remembering the weight
of unseeing eyes
and scalding remarks
and we learned to slip
the noose-knots and slide
through the soul-cracks
and somehow
build kingdoms under
upturned noses.

and tender determinat
for unseeing eyes by *Pailei
Truly, I can feel all of the weight
of the world in these words. All of it.

writer's blockstranded on an island scantily
dressed in moonlight, you stare
at roiling water resembling a
horizon of interweaving words
but when you lift your right hand,
spirals of silence shackle
the weightless sounds
writer's block by ~helice93
If all writer's block conjured something this
visually emotive and beautiful, writer's block
would be a new poetic form.
Prose

but here and now i am aliveI was three years old when we moved there, when the wall in my room that moved and the drunken woman next door and the grey grey hight of the flats could not contain my first chubby steps to identity. My parents packed us up for the jumble sale of moving, pricing up our lives and our possessions with tape and cardboard and memories. The grass on the show house became our grass, became our house, while I slept in a new room under old sheets and dreamed of darkness.
I was five and nobody else was five and nobody else was a girl and I was so alone. The cats that roamed were my friends, the weeping willow and the squeak in the wheels of my scoot
but here and now i am alive by ~screamsinateacup
Simultaneously intimate and close, but distant
and lonely. A story about growing up.

Le Pelerin NoirJe voudrais peindre des mains, noires sur la toile.
Qu'elles m'agrippent, qu'elles m'enserrent !
Là en mon cœur et en mon âme,
Doigts squelettiques et bris de verre.
Je voudrais peindre des mains, noires sur la toile.
Je voudrais tracer des stèles, nues sur le papier.
Tombeaux anonymes, pris en terre !
A feu à sang les blanches lames,
Croisés fantômes pour maux lunaires.
Je voudrais tracer des stèles, nues sur le papier.
