The Climes They Are a-Changin' For You

I balance the poles on thumb and forefinger Twirling, gyrating, they twist away from me and each other Almost as if they do not know or acknowledge me So I force them together, twin magnets that attract me but repel the other N. Avert. Turn the cheek. There. Now we are back to back and the ice that made us breaks us into one piece Again we are shattered together S. Can you feel the mercury rising? Red is for the temper that 'tempers' us As if melting poles that stand a world apart would make us stronger And we would turn our faces Our eyes meeting somewhere in the middle Our charges would dissipate We might melt into the (ant)Arctic

Grind by XJNG, literature

Literature

Grind

Crunch. Leaves crackle underfoot as I tramp them into the concrete. Step by step, the clattering of my footsteps grows as the leaves die down. I duck my head by a fraction as I descend into the Underground. Remarkable how clean it is here. None of those rotting organics. Still, I wish they'd brighten things up a bit. Splash some paint around. Swap out those flickering fluorescents for neon and colour. Anything but this interminable…greyness. I stop by a ticket machine, ignoring the ticket-seller with grubby hands. I feed it coins scrounged from one of many jacket pockets. Most of them were empty, which was surprising.

Fish and Mops

The litter-strewn cafeteria was much like a derelict house, save that the accumulation of refuse had spanned hours instead of years. Not so derelict, as it turns out. Its insides glare neon and garish with the misleading lights of just-closed food stalls. A sandwich place stays open. The undimmed lights are perhaps a tad negligent for an educational institution priding itself on environmental consciousness and conservatorship. But a later inspection in the dead of night might meet with zero-carbon darkness and hasty rebukes that prove misplaced. Muted conversation weaves its way around the room, its intersection

Uncertain Tides by XJNG, literature

Literature

Uncertain Tides

It is that time when the sun begins to set and washes a savannah in the reds of glowing embers. Emergent rulers of a green kingdom cast their shadows, quenching the twinkling gaps in the rainforest canopy as the chattering of its nocturnal denizens builds to a roar. All around is noise indecipherable, the ambient cacophony a comfort in a world lost to sight. Birds trill, insects chirp, and primates call to their mates in reassurance. Incessant streams of conversation flow every which way, yet somehow arrive at the intended recipient in that din. Lumbering herds of elephants arrive with spinning dust-clouds as att

Bones by XJNG, literature

Literature

Bones

The house is loosely anchored by foundations that sink into sandy grit. Everything it sits on is boxed in by a picket fence. I was puzzled for the longest time as to why those two were so desperate to erect this construction. Maybe they imagined that drawing a line in the sand would ward off imagined specters of ill-omen. Their flights of fancy were quite fantastical in that way. The fences all gleamed white, for another thing. Whoever heard of a less durable choice of pigment? Years of exposure to inclement elements have worn it down to nothing, with the cumulative corrosion of rai

Sacrifice by FallingAsleepTonight, literature

Literature

Sacrifice

For fifteen dollars you can buy a book with a gloss cover from Barnes & Noble on conjuring demons. There's all this preparation. Drawing a circle with silver and salt, a bit of blood a sprig of rosemary, maybe some magic words and, like all things, if you do not tremble then you do not believe. Then comes the need for an impossible sacrifice. A human built for humanity. To be honest, I've found it's easier to summon the devil by yelling out my window at one in the morning.

Thanks!

You're welcome!

Hi! Tag you're it!

Hiya! Wooow you've graduated high school! Congrats

I'm technically on summer break but am taking courses. 2 of them are online so I have loads of free time. Lots of things have happened over the past year. I've done some writing, got introduced to DnD, found myself a boyfriend, and have been exploring Toronto! Life is just great right now.

This must be an exciting time for you, applying to universities and all! Though I remembered being really bored with nothing to do all summer. Hopefully you'll find something to keep yourself busy. How are things on your end?

Thanks, I need to catch up with writing. I have everything in my head for Tamesis Saunterer except I can't seem to find yet how I want the 2nd chapter to be like. I know it's somewhere hiding in my mind so, I shall go find it XD! I might have another new story after I had this creepy dream I had last night and I wrote it in my journal entry [link] on DA about it just to get the weight off my mind. Awe, that's sweet you have a boyfriend! I have a boyfriend, too! He lives in Atlanta and we Skype each other almost everyday. Our longest time on Skype was 5 hours

! I made him this box at school I mailed to him [link] . I have been at home a lot but, I am looking to find work; I am interested in applying for Whole Foods, any small business organic markets and/or Farmer's markets.

Yeah, I am excited to go to College. I just hope I can survive math when I get there because that's the only subject throws me off. Also, I am trying some new art like using oil pastels, doing a cosplay of Kaneda from Akira, take pictures of the places I go and cook and bake different foods and take pictures of them.
