Angry Again-Megadeath

 

 

  

 

there was a dream about golden horses

and little girls with hair of flames

 

in that dream you were a flower,

grown for the bird shat on the backyard of an ogre.

 

The ogre labeled your fragments; his wife gave you food,

his wife combed your hair, his wife told you that

 

“he is just a product of trauma and turmoil”

 

for many years, you kept a knife for the ogre’s neck

but his wife was kind and his sons were innocent.

 

the ogre labeled your fragments, he made sure that

you would be reminded of that seed from the shit

you came from.

 

Still, you kept the knife. Still, his family was dear and innocent.

 

one day, the ogre saw a bird on his window

and you,

 

you ate the sky.

even if i didn’t understand it because of the hardcore symbolism, the artist in me understood…

these were my favorite lines:

“Still, you kept the knife. Still, his family was dear and innocent.
One day, the ogre saw a bird on his window
and you,
you ate the sky.”

…the ogre saw a bird on his window and you, you ate the sky.

hindi ka talaga tao. you’re a goddess. this is profound and beautiful and you amaze me shitless. haha.

the words in this work of art - they capture one of my nameless memories of certain monsters in my life. some days i feel i want to eat the sky too. and be free from the ogre’s labels. but some days i feel that it is a sad thing to do - eat away the sky and all the unheard things that go with it. T_T

she likes seashore naps and the view of everything from the bus window. she likes tiny moments and the small spaces between faces when people talk.

 

sometimes, she wakes up to that odd feeling of being a fallen leaf, an old tree, an azotea or a waitress somewhere-- talking to a taxicab driver about that random song on the radio.

 “The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!”
