Poetic Beauty

poetic beauty

the poetic beauty i believe in is a writer’s naked voice describing the world in the only possible way, originality, emptying the one brain like popcorn on the stove, bubbling up, rising into the clouds through a skylight, into the stars like the eyes of a child, into the unending night and back again to a toaster, to a lightswitch, to a fan you keep on for more than air,

it’s the greatest thing we ever made, and someday we’ll unmake it, with a look, we’ll say: jesus, do you remember when language made us mad, crazy, gone like a bat in the daytime?

yes yes yes we remember,

they were disastrous, letters, words, lines were a plague disguised, they were poison in the cake, tsk tsk tsk no,

it’ll be a great act, we’ll shame ourselves, the old us,

but when nobody’s watching, in bed when the outlights are on and the inlights are off,

we’ll pull a book of poetry from under the pillow,

we’ll finger the soft pages and our eyes will glow like burning diamonds, the words the words the words will dance like peacocks, irresisitble in the hopeless expanse, the hopeful warmth of a blanket, tomorrow, there’s that, and yesterday too, but the words have both by the legs,

the words in your head are killers, are lovers, are the flight of a flightless creature tasting the sky.

when faced with the decision to write a poem or not write a poem, i’m not sure how to justify the latter.

I need to know if people’s blogs are safe for me, a depressed autistic girl.

Reblog if yours is.

I cannot even begin to articulate how beautiful and heartbreaking the Kevin moment was.

The idea that this man who Chimney loved as a brother, who he lost too soon, came back to him in his moment of need and pointed him home? The way Kevin is one of his ghosts, but only in the most loving way.

As tragic as it was, losing Kevin brought with it a realization of unconditional love in the Lees—because not only did they manage to love him through the hurt, but they needed him, too. He wasn't a reminder of their pain—he was the son they had left who they could have lost, too, but didn't. He was love and joy, even through all the hurt. They were a family. A little bit broken, but built on the kind of foundation Chimney had never had until them, at least not since he'd lost his mom.

For Kevin to be the one to point him home? To send him to the two people whose unconditional love had kept him alive, if only in their hearts? To the parents who'd raised them both and didn't deserve to lose another son? To the two people who had never let him down?

It's just a lot.

“There Are Just Fewer Girls In Bands. Even In Local Scenes There Are Less Girls (…) I Want There

“There are just fewer girls in bands. Even in local scenes there are less girls (…) I want there to be more Lynns, more Jennas, more Tays and more Hayleys out there, because they’re all so cool” - Chrissy Costanza (Rocksound Issue 217 | September 2016)

Just over here thinking about just how much trust is implied in the way Eddie let loose at the bachelor party. And I know this isn't news, that Eddie trusts Buck implicitly, but there's just something so beautiful in the idea that Eddie Diaz—master of control and compartmentalization and putting everyone else first—was not only willing, but eager to let loose with Buck. Even after the safety of the rest of their group was gone, even after Buck had invited dozens of strangers into their space, Eddie didn't hesitate for a moment to let go with Buck because of course Buck is safe and of course he can trust Buck to let go right beside him without judgment.

And there's just something really beautiful in that.
