Iconoclastic Melody of Feminine Ruin Your love for the Divine Mother Is tea leaves in your cup The wounded always hurt another Revealing the fuck up A heart who knows her only goal And finds it much to soon Cares nothing for inane control But lingers at the moon To sing inside and yet retire I rage in contemplation And feel inside this burning fire Of mortal abdication Projecting out another sign The blaze, it lingers on The embers in the mainframe dine On one who is alone
Iconoclastic Melody of Female Ruin.
Something I just jotted down last night and finished this morning.
Do the embers in the mainframe dine on you too?

I am a sea a poem bebe writes
"I am a sea
I hold memory
And the feelings
The images
The tiny reels
And movies
They flow into the other
And I reach my hand
Scooping handfuls to drink
Without realizing that
Drinking the brine [...]"

Play. Those games we all played as children Still haunt the bodies we hold A constant game of enchantment Believing just what we’re sold I seek the seam in the costume I seek the tear in the mask That woven tight allocation Of what the enemy asks There is no warning around it Everything fits perfectly But the beauty of envy Is beauty’s all that you see The play it finds a new theatre It entertains for a while But with the sinister conflict It drowns itself in its bile And in the final production The actor slips on his lines So in the final seduction He finally slips from my mind
I write quickly. I'm learning to edit, but I wrote this in like 10 minutes and idk... sometimes I think it's better without all the fuss.

You can make a movie against violence. But if it makes money for those who create violence, What has it done? You can create a tv show about the terror of abuse. But if it makes money for abusers to hide behind, What has it done? You can make a song to say "Protect the Dolls." But if it makes money for those who turn the dolls away, What has it done? You can make a painting to give voice to the unseen. But if it makes money for those who refuse to see, What has it done? You can make a poem to call it all out. But if it makes money for the same system, What has it done?
Some thoughts for the morning...

The Broken Fingers of a Porcelain Lady Broken and covered in dust, she stands. Alone. Until shattered into the bin. A sharp end to delicate beauty. -J.B. @fractal_patter
The Broken Fingers of a Porcelain Lady
This one is weird. I'm not sure it is good. But I am weird. And I think I'm good. So, ha!

🌗 Last Quarter
They say release and breathing
arrive together
so I turned my vibrator to level 3
and breathed.
A lot.

I’m reading “Sea Witch” by Sarah Henning and “Jane Eyre” by Charlotte Brontë simultaneously.
The leaves are falling and I’m learning to surrender what I’ll never understand.
I am settling into myself and recognize her.

A Bridge Too Far by S.L. Sweede
"It’s not the Grand Canyon,
It’s when the sky empties out
All of the rain,
Lets it free too fast
Until our world is blue and clear,
Hollow,"

How I Came Back to Poetry by S.L. Sweede
“A large stone fist pulls the seed
And all the color out,
Gray dirt, no life,
I wondered why I
Planted myself in the wrong
Place”

Deja Vu by S.L. Sweede
“In a dream
The sun brightens,
Burgundy and yellow leaves
Rotate in the air,
A funnel of earthy rot”

Nature versus nurture
Lacks a season carte du jour.
July-born into a creeping wind chill
And whispers of fate’s allure.

"You cannot be afraid and you cannot be worried about who does and who doesn't like what you do, because there's always somebody who's not going to like it. If nobody doesn't like it, something's wrong with it."

Once you've learned about the Sunk Cost Fallacy, you are able to see your fears for what they are : bad guests who've overstayed their welcome.
