Interlude: two poems and a thought

I.

Sometimes I feel it / and yet

it escapes me / that golden burst of light

that lightness of living / for drowning

but my own gravity / keeps me

from the currents I long for

II.

The devil left the details long ago

to look for warmer pastures

An island far east where burning bushes lie

Hub of liars, fools, magicians

who look beyond

the words of the true trickster

“The tower is not yours to fight.”

read the whole thought (or plenty of them)

The past has given me much comfort as of late, which is quite surprising for me, as a more future-oriented person who claims she can easily forget. I’ve been seeing old photos and realising that they looked better than I had put in memory. Maybe because my eyes needed more rest back then. It is difficult to see clearly when trying to see everything.
