So

This week

Has been strange

Needless to say

The panther has been

Anxious, restless, pacing

Back and forth from dawn to dusk

From dusk to dawn, forth and back

And in my dreams as well

Yet, like any cat

Who's worth their nip

You'll barely

Feel her

Pounce.

Among the fresh fennel

A new friend i made

I gave them some water

And some flowery shade

The next time we met

They were high up my wall

Now, I hope they've cocooned

For i can't find them at all

Turning water into wine

Is quite an easy feat

Water into wine

Is any soldier's treat

You split right down the middle

Every vanquished foe

And into the same river

Let their life's blood flow

as much as the concept of Jesus being a fairly normal lad has its charms, im personally very intrigued by the idea of him being just… extremely weird. not even in a mystical sense, just…….staggeringly BIZZARRE.

you go to the well to get some water, and here’s Miriam’s boy, staring at the sky, completely still. his expression is unreadable. you hazard a hello and ask how he’s doing, and he slowly, unblinkingly, lowers his gaze on you (he’s 8 and is missing his frontal teeth, not that this is making you any less uncomfortable) and says “I cannot speak of the state of my being, Nathan son of Saul, my brother, but rejoice for the water you shall take today will be as pure as the soul of the children of Heaven”

…you start sweating

It's not the same

When you're away

I know you must

It guts my day

You ride into

The beast's deep core

And return victorious

With boon and lore

I wish you wouldn't

I wish you'd stay

Without you here

We are astray

Atlas is getting tired

So every other day

He whittles off a sliver

When everyone looks away

I cannot tell

If you're in pain

You're tooth just crumbled

Am i to blame?

What do I do

to keep you healthy?

How do I stop

this hex so stealthy?

These are seeds

Watered by light

from stars they sprung

Some murky, some bright

Why is this world

So dark, so bleak

I am but one

Frustrated and weak

In pain my brethren

Live far away

What can I do

But watch and pray

My angel butt

My floofy girl

Majestic whiskers

You are my world

What's mine is yours

This must be said

Please don't leave

Puke on the bed

Thanks for reminding me

Of something i can't stand

You love being the martyr

Self-preservation be damned

Like 4 people with Rona

Asking for a ride

Of course you'd accept

With your thornbird-ish pride

But you and i know

That If these tables were turned

Your own please for help

Would immediately be spurned

i took out the trash

Because I'm adulting

What should be mundane

Became so insulting

I rolled my ankle

And skinned my knee

Right at the door

For all to see

I took a quick shower

Not for the pain

But to clean up the dirt

And the unspeakable shame

Here's the thing

The History's there

I can't just ignore you

I actually care

Of course this includes

The guilt on my mind

I couldnt quite deal

And left you behind

I can't help but ask

Are you being sincere

You might drive me skint

And then disappear

Your silent steps

Your sweet toe beans

I did not hear

You went unseen

Awful, i feel

And oh, so crummy

I shut the door

And squished your tummy :(

Today I chose joy

No matter what

It could have gone worse

And have kicked my butt

I know I've betrayed

And I've conned and I've lied

But you found me quite loyal

When i stood by your side

I thought I had failed you

In the battles we've faced

Your approval today

I'll always embrace

The drudgery

The treachery

This place kills my soul

But nothing brings me

Back to life

Like battling a troll
