RWBY: Brandish pt.8

Ruby’s first morning in the castle came with some unexpected, and unwanted, intrusions. As she lay on the comfortable, oversized bed her door flew open and the sound of several pairs of feet on the carpet began to stir her awake. Then the curtains on the far side of the room were torn open, unleashing an onslaught of sunlight that fell square upon her face, making her grown groggily and try to hide herself away. “It’s morning, Lady Rose.” Came a voice. “It’s time to get up.” Ruby rolled over, further wrapping herself in her sheets. “Five more minutes.” The head maid strode across the ro

Storm Ravaged Hope

Petals are a scatter Across rain torn grass, Vines caressing leaves Fallen from bare trees To the right, the garden Holds a scene of crush - Remains of rose petals Create a scene of red Shimmering beneath Lightning strikes One blood red petal fallen For every death occurred In this unknown village But there in the midst Lies a rose of black, Drenched in sorrow From its very tip To the loose roots Remained in the soil A few darkened petals To remember our losses, But a living death Meant for true hope

All Shall Recede

Sand Castles will succumb To the tides of tomorrow, And the dandelion’s seeds Are at mercy to the winds. The sea ice is melting, Meanwhile forests fall. In an eventual anomaly, The Moon will break adrift. Somehow and someday, All will fade away. Children break off from parents Just as chicks will leave the nest. Development of independence Breeds beginnings and ends. We grow old and decompose In a relative nanosecond In contrast to space time; Fascinatingly frightful. However strongly we wish to deny; Eventually all must bid goodbye. Departure is unfortunate, Regretful yet required. Life is forged from greetings Then propelled by fa

Slate Blue

Slate blue clouds cloak the dawn, crepuscular rays creeping round the blockade to wake songbirds and squirrels. The mill house wheel clacks and tumbles; yeast rises like a whisper. Only the blueberry thicket knows that the taste of sunlight keeps the bread warm.

but where is the blue

You know how to be just skin. You know how to remove every molecule of air. Every molecule of the unknown. You can nail yourself to the juniper trees. You think you will. Stab through every callus with peels of that ragged bark. Your back to the gnarls. They catch fire so easily, you know.

Gnossienne

You never told me that you play the bass. Some stories I hear over and over again - Xerox computers, meeting well-known authors - but others I learn haphazardly, stumbling into tidbits and details like a newborn fawn - a junior year spent living on pancakes; a car accident; animating projects in the early days of Flash. You never told me you play bass, piano, guitar. And I worry - what other talents and footnotes are buried too far in the past to light up on my radar? What will I learn about you only after it's too late?

Moss Green

Moss green fence slats lay decaying in the backyard, half dried from recent rain. The squirrels rustle across dead leaves, fleeing barking dogs and near-silent cats prowling for a quick meal. Pollen saturates the air; mushrooms grow in the shade of fallen branches as the fuzz of lichen creeps over a trunk felled in favor of a wooden fence.

cultural dissonance

1. i have flown around the world and you - you remind me of home aunties, uncles, cousins teta and jiddo men and women brown from dry heat and desert sun but then there are waves crashing against sandy seashores and there are palm trees ripe with falling fruit fresh at the market and there are men fishing at the phoenician wall it's give and take and like this land you are never selfish 2. i have flown around the world and you - you remind me of all that i miss so i'll tell you you're beautiful when this sense of discord is poured down my throat and dissonance shows up like an eclipse but you can still find me in the dark and y

it's okay to not be okay

sometimes it’s okay to sit on the floor of the bathroom stall and let your feelings gather- it’s okay to let them pool like a lachrymose lagoon as the inside of your stomach does summersaults; I know these emotions can’t be tenderly released, they’re not soft waves kissing the expecting shore, let them pour out of you like tidal waves- release the tsunami from within you and I know sometimes the tears will sodden your pillowcase, they’ll be juggernauts- those brackish beads cathartically-cartwheeling down your flushed cheeks; but remember how even the clouds may cry tempestuously today, only to make room for m

Dusting Up, Red

my ears unhear the words as if those words, alone cut me from the strip and stamped me, in too mild a steel for this hostile air, edges already dusting up so undeniably red with breakdown but we each corrode in different lies at different rates, our materials migrate into different wars with the eroding shore and shadow of where we happen and stand so unbearably alive animal gamepieces pace the irony cage of our self-defeat, pretending that we own them, that we're capable of owning anything other than what we are- dull stumps, keratinized and driven as hooves into skies of escape, barely alive, but so undeniably human

The Author is Dead

Please, I need your help. We're both in danger. Do you see that corpse in the corner? The one with fluffy red hair? That's the author of this story, and she's dead. If you don't want the same thing to happen to you or me, you need to do everything I say. Okay? Okay. First, turn off the volume on your device. The monster's still here, and it will attack if it hears you. Work quietly now... Good. We don't have words to waste, so I'll sum this up quick: I'm the protagonist. You can call me Proto. The writer invented a creature whose harpoon-like limbs could go through anything. While she was thinking of a way for me to beat it, one claw p

Still struggling with anger and contempt for those around me. I've been far too quick to anger these past few days despite my practices to reign myself in. Born from frustration, hatred for others and dissatisfaction with myself, common problems that I know everyone faces and they eat away at me.

But still I press on. I fight the beast each day because I simply don't want to lose to him and because I know that to give in is the easy way. I like to say I don't have any problems, only hurdles. Then this is just another hurdle and like all the others before it, I will clear it.
