“Nesta rua, nesta rua tem um bosque

Que se chama, que se chama solidão.

Dentro dele, dentro dele mora um anjo

Que roubou, que roubou meu coração.

Si eu roubei, si eu roubei teu coração

Tu também, tu também roubaste o meu.

Si eu roubei, si eu roubei teu coração

É porque, é porque te quero bem”.

(Translation under the cut)

(On this street, on this street there's a forest

That's called, that's called loneliness.

Inside it, inside it lives an angel

Who stole, who stole my heart.

If I've stolen, if I've stolen your heart

You've stolen, you've stolen mine too.

If I've stolen, if I've stolen your heart

It was because, just because I love you.)

V pesnitve

Za rojstni dan (štirje križi. jebemti) sem si podaril kratko digitalno izdajo z naslovom V pesnitve. Z Boštjanom Imenškom sva uglasbite slovenske poezije snemala v Cerkvi svetega Križa v Plesu. Vse iz prve, brez metronoma in umetne inteligence. Akustika, uigranost in zvočni velemojster Damjan Dobrina - Baček, vse skupaj je pripeljalo do rezultata, s katerim sem res zadovoljen - pa čeprav je kje kakšna napaka.

Now the shame of it was that they loved each other. But they were both too young to know how to love. Full of doubt, he ran away.

I understand that literature nerd Jason Todd is kind of overblown in fanon compared to it's actual presence in canon (a few issues during his pre (and post?)crisis Robin tenure that highlight it) BUT consider that I think it's hilarious if the unhinged gun toting criminal has strong opinions on poetry

#ramblings of a lunatic #dc comics #Jason Todd #batfamily #it's just a fun quirk! it's a fun lil detail and I simply cannot slight ppl for enjoying and incorporating it into works #like obviously jason isn't the only one. I'm a big believer in the batfam having over lapping interests they refuse to bond over #i know dick canonically used the robin hood stories (which are pretty flowery in their language far as i can tell) as inspo for Robin #and i know babs was a librarian and even tho her area of nerddom is characterized as more computery she probably knows quite a lot-#-about literature as well #duke is a hobbyist writer i believe? i saw a fan mention that- which if so is great and I hope he's also a nerd #(i mean he is canonically. i remember him being a puzzle nerd in his introduction. but i mean specifically a lit nerd)#damian called Shakespeare boring but also took acting classes so i think he's more of a theatre kid.#Tim's a dropout and i don't think he's ever shown distinct interest in english lit and i can't remember for Steph?#I'm ngl my brain hyperfocused on musician Steph i forget some of her other interests I'm sorry (minus softball and gymnastics!)#and then Cass had her whole (non linear but it's whatevs) arc about literacy and learning to read #went from struggling to read in batgirl 00 to memorizing Shakespeare in 'tec and is now an avid read in batgirls!#she's shown reading edgar allen poe but we don't know if it's his short stories or his poems #point to all of the above being: i know Jason's not the only lit nerd in the batfam #but also i do need him to be writing poetry in his spare time and reading and reviewing it #jason at the next dead robins society meeting: evening folks today I'll be assigning all of us poems based on laika the space dog #damian and steph who have been kidnapped and brought to jasons warehouse to hangout: LET US GO BITCH #speaking of^ random poem i think jason would like: space dog by alan shapiro #wake up one morning in an unfamiliar more mature body with a profound sense of abandonment. the last four lines. mmm tasty

Fae

———————————————————————

If you would be so lucky to earn a Fae’s loyalty,

they will give you their heart, treat you like royalty.

Let them approach first, please avoid the fae rings,

First you will hear laughter then their flapping wings.

The beauty of the Fae know not just one single form,

some look borne from the sky, others from a storm.

These sublime creatures will court you with flowers,

Roses followed with conversation that lasts hours.

Fear not, we serve as a neutral ground for your date,

prepare to be charmed into a flustered state.

The Fae have a reputation for being quite tricky,

their fickleness is often followed by a hickey.

To them, your body is a poem yet to be written,

every moan from you will have them smitten.

To turn the tables, to make them stutter and blush,

trace those lovely pointed ears, it gives them a rush.

Their clever fingers always find a game to play,

usually those games lead to staying in bed all day.

Unless you are ready, do not give a Fae your name,

giving instead of telling is all they need to lay a claim.

Only do this when you both are ready to commit,

in a new relationship there is much a Fae will omit.

When you are both ready what an occasion it will be,

a ceremony with flowers everywhere the eye can see.

If you are seeking nothing more than a fling,

a Fae will still treasure you, even without a ring.

———————————————————————

Hello to the two or less people who read this, I am not abandoning it inspiration has just been a bitch 🙃.

it's beautiful to picture the anodic dance club as like, the new hot spot for the young people of martinaise to hang out and all bond with each other and have all their different worldviews mingle and create new things... but lbr chances are half of those people are going to end up just not really liking anodic music. like, thanks for keeping the pale hole contained or whatever but this music blows

#posts by me #it's just a genre like any other tbh. it's gonna have fans it's gonna have haters #the speedfreaks: here is our radical new life-affirming jam #cindy: it's a bit trash innit can you get some garage punk bands to play here #the smoker: can we host an open mic night i have slam poetry i would like to share #piss and fuck: this is not voidcore enough #steban: i only listen to prog rock #ulixes: and revolutionary folk anthems #andre and noid: everyone's a fucking critic huh #egghead: [sad ant with bindle image]

A little something for the Halloween season, about the Unseelie Court. Enjoy.

TEXT:

The Seelie love the fairy ring, To step and turn and turn and sing, And every bright and gleaming thing-- But we are otherwise.

The Seelie on their seats of gauze Have bound themselves by ancient laws To slay no mortal without cause-- But we are otherwise.

The Seelie choose to bargain fair, To honor what they once declare, To tweak the proud, the humble spare-- But we are otherwise.

We who hide in slits of night, We red-capped spawn of spit and spite, Whose every breath conveys a blight-- Oh, we are otherwise!
