Not My Country

i. My father came to this country through the womb. My mother, too. Their mothers and their fathers, too. But somewhere behind them: a crossing. We dug cabbage and we dug coal. I kill Chesapeake fish my mother cannot fry. My grandmothers keep me from trees where rash and poison live. Things we do not call by name—we do not, cannot speak the language of this land. We drink of its pipes, not of its waters. ii. In Michoacán I plant avocado and lime with my wife, and we play make believe in tall grass. Sturdy dog, basket of mangoes, adobe and tejas, June storm in valley, and then— a baby, my wife nursing in hammock. Now we carry water and open the gate to measure our wellbeing in the cherry's new leaves. I love her in a simple, error-prone tongue, full of clumsy genders and confused tenses. Her father names each tree, but the Purépecha is slaughtered by my settler tongue. iii. With seven generations of shipwreck in his lungs, my grandfather sets his chair in a riot of pole beans and tells me how to save beehive from locust, when to hunt morels, how much Chinese paid for ginseng, and how to dry walnuts. But a country he believed his cannot be mine: it draws borders through my wedding vows. He and I are of a scattering tribe slashing as we go. The sun is set to rise though no one calls it by its rightful name. When the river swallows me and we dive up through marigolds, I will not know to offer song. Who will know to call our names?

🌌 T I T A N 🌌

Titan is a remodeled Moon model animatronic. He originally had the same frame as any Moon did and was paired with Andromeda to take the stage. He's always been very reserved, his only companion being Andromeda for years. Once you get to know him and his walls lower, he's actually rather friendly. His friendship language is gentle bullying, as he enjoys pulling a friend's leg. He is a very honest and blunt guy. As such, he does not harbor secrets. Titan is not afraid to speak his mind. He's very intelligent, his specialty being software engineering. He gained full sentience three months after his activation day while most of the animatronics in his world needed to take five months to a year.

Titan tends to be rough around the edges with new people and very guarded. A year after his creation, he got into the violent Montgomery from his world which left him nearly destroyed. As a result, he was rebuilt into a larger and sturdier frame. Because of his thicker frame, he was pulled from the stage and repurposed as head Security Bot of Stardust Theater. He was actually very bitter about it and this started the downfall of his and Andromeda 's connection. If he couldn't perform on stage like he used to, then he would be the best and smartest Security Bot ever made. Because of the change, Titan now has three times the strength of a basic Moon model.

Titan's favorite music:

Metal/Death Metal/Rock n Roll

Some country

Very little hip hop, very little pop

Really likes Lo-fi beats to work to

Latin hits/music (this was his specialty in his smaller frame)

Favorite Metal song: Heavy by Citizen Soldier & SkyDxddy

Favorite Pop/Lo-fi song: SpaceMan by Sam Ryder

Guilty pleasure song: Mi Gente by J. Balvin & Willy William

Singing Voice: Poetry Glass by Payton Parrish

Speaking Voice: English VA for Piccolo from DBZ

Payton! 🤎✨️

I have been making a read list of books/poetry that taylor has referenced in her work.

Do you have anything to add? 😊

I have bought Rebecca this week and I can't wait to start my list off with that one.

P.S. I love swiftlit!!

Hi Eleonora! Thanks for listening and I’m glad you enjoy it!! You’ve got quite the comprehensive list! I can’t think of anything else to add!

[morg-among-the-stars]

Alright so last night when I couldn’t sleep, I had lines of poetry come to me, but they’re written as if Payton and River wrote poems on their thoughts on each other (maybe for creative writing or another school thing, I don’t know. There wasn’t context for it in my mind). They’re pretty cool and I wanted to share with the other three people in this fandom as of now. So here that is: hobarkley poetry from my sleep-deprived mind

Payton:

His eyes

Bright

Striking

They see right through me

Unwavering

Warm and kind

They’ve led me to places I’d rather not discuss

Things I can’t discuss

Because what we do alone

Him and I

So warm and kind

Is a liability that I cannot risk

How he sees right through me

Is a liability, too

So now I have to burn this poem

Bury the ashes six feet underground

To hide what I don’t want anyone to know

Or to see

Not even him

Not even myself

Six feet underground

River:

I’ve never met a man like him

So troubled

So headstrong

So soft at his center

All at once

That center isn’t hard to get to

Just takes time

Patience

Inside, he’s soft

Warm, vulnerable

Tender

The outside, he’s focused

So precise

Sharp

I love both

Don’t get me wrong

But I wish I could see the center more

Explore it, walk around inside his mind when his walls come down

Or inside his heart

He lets me in some days

And shoves me away others

He knows he can come to me

Whenever he’s ready

Whenever his soft heart wants to

Whenever it’s ready

THE MANIPULATOR

Top reviews from the United States

 Mr Poetry

5.0 out of 5 stars 

My review for The Manipulator from Timothy Payton

Reviewed in the United States.

Verified Purchase

Brenda Mohammed has written a great psychological thriller named The Manipulator, giving the reader an in-depth gleam about a great and prominent Poet that gets the attention of a  peculiar Individual that loves the Poet's works and words. 

Yet, she is yet to know of the intentions of this strange Individual. 

She finds out that at first he is very supportive of her work. 

Then he becomes controlling and vindictive.

The Poet will do whatever it takes to get away from this person.

Will the Poet get away safety or will she find a dreadful end!!?? 

You'll have to read to find out!!

Brenda does such a great job taking you through a journey to show what a true manipulator is, and  what one should do if you do know or come across one.

 What a great story Brenda gives in her Award winning way, and as an added bonus, gives the readers some great Poetry to read within this book as well!!

 Definitely worth your time and attention.

 I recommend this great Book to everyone that loves a story with suspense.

I enjoyed reading The Manipulator!!

Bravo Brenda, another 5 star write

i’m planning my life

two months in advance

busying my every minute

and overthinking each hour

still

i’m not sure about today

and i’m anxious about tomorrow

[oliver-hawthorn]

Sharing blood cannot force us closer.

But sharing the bloodshed does, sometimes.

Some of our stab wounds line up just right-

In that way that let's the sun shine through

The holes in us

When we stand back to back,

Which we usually don't, but know we could,

I think.

We did not grow up together,

But there are places where we both bent the same ways

Chasing the comfort of the shade

Trying not to let the sun burn more holes

In the leaves of us.

We did not grow up the same,

But there are the pieces that were cut and torn

And removed from us, so violently

There in a pile on the ground together

Waiting to be burnt away.

We were not planted together,

But there in the pile we can find

So much similar rot-

Bits of vein and vine we each ripped from ourselves

Desperately trying to find a distance from

All that would make us as rotten and vile and

Sometimes, soft, even.

And we are not sisters, because I am no longer

A sister,

But you are always there, somewhere,

Stretching in the shade towards

Something

And I am always here,

Doing the same.

I often wish I could have been there,

Wish I could have helped during the hurt

Though we were both just children, then,

Hurting in all those same ways.

We are not sisters,

But we are we,

No matter the distance

And sometimes even that feels like

A sort of comfort;

I never stopped calling you

Family,

Even when we were young and far, and

Even now, as we live, growing older and further.

We are blistered in the same ways,

But not killed.

Never killed.

love that for semester turnaround my principal was like. we need courses to teach the kids important things. mandatory course on sexual exploitation online. mandatory course on anti colonialism and learning indigenous values and history. optional course on drag makeup and costume which will result in a school wide drag show.

We’re raised looking at the bars of a cage; only a lucky few among us, find the key to breaking free. It should be so many more.

First of all--good morning, hello, you're gorgeous. Thank you for existing 🧎🏻‍♀️

Your writing has a chokehold on me and I'm unhinged. I'm sorry for just injecting myself into here but I have horny on main thoughts about this specific thing

Even if Vincent studies traditional drawing art or the history and stuff, drawing isn't his only medium. I had a conversation with Payton about it and he's just about perfect in every creative outlet--including but not limited to poetry and the related. Vincent helping you study vocabulary because he's adept in language arts but he's helping you in the classic reward-based sessions--pointing to a word and if you get it right he'll reward you. Get it wrong and he'll think of some way to discourage future error.

Only thoughts about staying late in the library with him in your isolated corner, bent over the table with the flashcards you made just in view so he knows whether he should reward you for your accuracy or not.

-💙

BLUE!! You're gorgeous, thanks for stopping by!

I agree, I think he genuinely has incredible artistic talent across mediums. And I think he would have gone to college to try to develop his skills in things outside of wax sculpting since I doubt his mother fostered a lot of exploration for its own sake. I also think he'd be absolutely blown away by the sheer amount of knowledge and reference material in a college library. He reads ravenously about myth and history and poetry and he prefers to situate himself in the library so he can jump right from reading to sketching ideas for paintings and sculptures.

And oh man you know he's got it bad for you if he's employing some, uh...creative learning methods in the library. Shy, self-conscious, sexually repressed Vincent meeting someone who is absolutely enthralled by him and doesn't mind the mask?? Not to put too fine a point on it, but he wouldn't make it out of his pants. As soon as you indicate to him that you're not only invested in his mind and his art but also what he's got under all those layers, it's game over. Anywhere and everywhere you can find a private space, he's all over you. And once he's built up a little confidence, that corner of the library is his favorite place to get under your skin, because it's where he met you.
