maybe read a poem about how oranges represent love and then you’ll calm down

[violetcowboy]

i had a #webweaving moment tonight. i was crying to my friend about how i’m having a very hard time rn, and they were trying to comfort me by reminding me that i have a support network even when i make mistakes and they said

“even a dog that runs away from home knows it has an owner willing to feed them, even though they ran away”

and i just started sobbing because why the fuck would you say that. that’s two-headed calf poem levels of heartbreaking

kenshō “ 本、

a experiência zen ou iluminação, quando a própria natureza é vista para o que realmente é.

“Em silêncio, respira profundamente. Olha com ferocidade para as árvores que ardem na beira da estrada, chamas verdes que se agitam como animais selvagens em pé. Ela as encara com agressividade. Como se esperasse das árvores uma resposta, ou melhor, como se exigisse, lança a elas um olhar sombrio e obstinado.”

────⠀⠀A Vegetariana, Han Kang.

Beauty/Death

You smile at the deer eating grass by the underpass

you smile at the dead ones on the highway too

Beauty does not stop at death to you.

the orange (boy).

[..] that orange, it made me so happy, this is peace and contentment. It's new. the rest of the day was quite easy. i did all the jobs on my list and enjoyed them and had some time over. I love you. I'm glad I exist.

orange tree

myrrh in your lungs and the golden disk haloed behind your head

your face is made for war

(would you trip and fall like a shot dove?)

since my father's death i have been doing awful with drawing. i can't bring myself to make art. i feel like i lost something. i can't understand it—i still can't.

this is the first piece since my father's death that feels like i'm back in my own skin.

i have been playing assassin's creed lately to pass the time. when i was a teenager, i loved ac very much. altaïr was my favourite as a teen. i think it's the rage and helplessness that we share that made me identify with him. i couldn't afford the games as a kid so i'd spend hours just watching walkthroughs, looking at fanarts, and reading fanfictions. years later and now as an adult, i'm playing ac unity that i got on a whim when it was on sale. i think i'll purchase ac1 when it's on sale later. for now, i will indulge my past self by playing as a french man doomed by the narrative.

while it's off topic, this piece is inspired by the relationship of palestinians with their oranges/orange trees. free palestine.
