this is a love story
written in lines we don't cross
in damage deflected
a code of conduct
a social contract of caged impulses
and shared priorities ( demons )
A little me inside of you that says HEY
every time you make a decision
every time you consider the future
Love is a future
Spare the truth
spoil the man
tell the truth
ruin your relationship
Young love is a chemical
( a compulsion )
old love is an institution
I bet myself who we would become
made an investment
put some of my happiness on a reserve price
banked and traded our time
Love is not a battlefield
it's a merger
it's a bear hug
a hostile takeover
Because something in the brain
wants to breed
bloodlines and trend lines
( population decline )
it’s all going down

a stone in the heart of a tadpole, Lau B.
09.03.21
[TEXT ID: in the mouth of a crying bird, some day after the front has passed, the pavement steams a brand. the grass dies out and
a forest hangs in heat.
its pond leaves,
its stones sink cold songs
ask my loss to wait,
wait:
for the light to sigh beneath the waves.
a hiccup in the humming. a Great Horned sun watching, canopy into shoreline, some eyes take longer to turn,
the tree clouds shake the owls nest and I emerge
leeward winds, turning the rhythms over into tides ]

transcript under cut:
[SUCH IS MY DESIRE]
Lianna Schreiber
[and God said]
I SHALL TAKE FROM YOU WHAT YOU LOVE UNTIL YOU ARE AS A ROPE WHICH HAS BEEN FRAYED.
[and God said]
I SHALL TAKE FROM YOU UNTIL MY HANDS ALONE ARE LEFT ABOUT YOUR SHOULDERS.
[and God said]
I SHALL FILL YOU WITH GRIEF: I SHALL GRIEVE YOU. AFTER GRIEF YOUR EMPTY VESSEL SHALL BE POROUS,
SHALL BE AS A CLOTH WHICH HOLDS LIGHT.
[and God said]
I SHALL FILL YOU WITH LIGHT. I SHALL BRING BEFORE YOU WHAT YOU WILL WANT TO LOVE:
I SHALL BRING YOU THE TERROR OF LOVING.
[and God said]
I SHALL MAKE YOU SHAKE.
[and God said]
I SHALL FILL YOU WITH LOVE:
IT WILL BE A DUSKING.
[and God said]
THE SPARROWS WILL GROW MUTE AND STAND STILL. YOU WILL LOVE WITH ME AT YOUR CENTRE, WITH ME IN EVERY PART OF YOU,
LIKE A MEMBRANE. YOU WILL LOVE SHAKING.
[and God said]
I SHALL TAKE IT FROM YOU: THE LOVE AND THE SHAKING. I SHALL LEAVE MY PERFUME ABOUT YOUR SHOULDERS,
ABOUT THE SLOPES OF YOUR FACE.
[and God said]
YOU SHALL BE MY HILL, ETERNAL.
[and God said]
YOU SHALL BE MY HILL AND THE CROSS WHICH MARKS IT.
[and God said]
YOU SHALL BE LOVED AND BEAR MY LOVE.
[and God said]
IN THE BUSHES THE SPARROWS SHALL START SONG AGAIN:
AND YOU WILL RESENT ME.
[and God said]
YOU WILL RESENT ME. YOU WILL GROW AS A THORN, AS A WILD THING,
AND YOU WILL LOATHE ME.
[and God said]
IT WILL NOT MATTER. I WILL LOVE YOU AS I CHOOSE.

Look. Look. I may believe that romance is over rated and I’m happy with my pets and food but sometimes a fictional character enters your life and you just… why yes I (my character) can be your new spouse and help you parent your child. Love me. Hodari in Palia is straight up a dilr (a dad I’d love to romance) and I’m so glad I can.

The idea of Luthien wearing Thuringwethil's skin always struck me as weird...
And what better day than today for that drawing?

i am the king baby
crying for his crown
an emperor in new clothes
the gentle weight of gravity
pulling us to the ground
Don’t open that door
don't look down
the well ( the rabbit hole )
you'll fall faster
like it knows something we don't
Like a coyote off a cliff
the hangman on a rope
there’s an iceberg waiting below
Am I humpty or his men?
The answer is always both
I want things I don't deserve
I envy people I cannot be
I am lost in a jealous sea
Move on
Move up
