Endless Individuals by Aquariem, literature

Literature

Endless Individuals

throng of endless individuals overwhelms every hair on my body the door to the car closes and the relief exudes from every pore until someone asks if anyone else is sitting there finally coming home to nothing but an empty house and a full blanket sets myself at ease drawing the curtains closed tighter against the blinds encases me in a dark friend enough to see to read enough to let me be

Inhaled by Aquariem, literature

Literature

Inhaled

sweet swell of ocean waves in front of my boarded up childhood home reminded me sometimes of the estuaries back east a mix of clear and calm with hint of salt water creating taffy on my tongue as i inhaled exhale of expectations turn flower into weeds and saplings into kindling – igniting the boarded up home with a spray of sea salt the green flames turning a plot of a memory against the sweet swell of the sea into a mirrored image of blue and green

Atlas by Aquariem, literature

Literature

Atlas

there's a drop of lead in each of my legs as i walk towards the cabin that desolated us each step is a sinker crunching through uncharted promises snowshoes not enough to lift my weight from the world below Atlas yet crouches but am I still left standing, with anyone else besides me? the poison creeps down my bones but my Sigyn has sighed her last breath and my fleeting resolution swells over cobbled walls and throws the world into sin

(For Now) by Aquariem, literature

Literature

(For Now)

as much as i love this place it’s odorless as i search fervently, like a blue-black raven looking for a lost ring in a sea of slivers and grass, for a scent of you others get to call home but there are countless miles of landmarks and highway routes collecting spackled wishes and keeping your comfort and company from me (for now) but yet a Southern breeze honeyed by late night skype calls, 1:42pm texts - the sound of your nose scrunching when you light up the room settles inside of me like home

Lamb by Aquariem, literature

Literature

Lamb

please don’t grasp onto my paper thin pin-holed walls, like i myself can puppeteer the architect to freely erect them once you’ve overspent your welcome my roof is paper thin & pin-holed, too, space-way destinations counted like constellated lambs, glowing white against a midnight, rolling hill & sometimes falling back to my paper thin & pin-holed self, escaping the big bad wolf, for only a blink please don’t pin-hole my already paper thin walls with your perpetually grasping caterpillar ways for i am not a leaf on a branch i am a glowing white lamb & i belong to the rolling, midnight hill

Home is Where the Heart Decays by Aquariem, literature

Literature

Home is Where the Heart Decays

cracked & weary bones crumble arising from ashen destruction, a you I know not of you’re not the butterflies playing my ribs like piano you’re not heavy tempo heart beats keeping me from feeling that that breath would be my end you are glistening fishing sinkers and I the worm on your hook You are the salt and I am a strung salmon meant to be seasoned you’re not butterflies playing my ribs you’re knives bypassing liquefied bones you’re not but you still live inside wastelanded chest cavities, and instead of being scared of you I call you home

5:00AM by Aquariem, literature

Literature

5:00AM

i hastily taught 5:00pm lilac clouds, setting against a periwinkle sky how it truly felt to be captured by gravity they laughed wispily beckoning my steps back at 5:00am instead when the sun would not yet be part of the oncoming day so they could teach me that their bellies caressed the earth before 5:00am turned to 7:00 turned to 9:00 licking flames of the sun coaxing their curves back to the sea in the sky

Deviation Spotlight

With Love, April by Aquariem, literature

Literature

With Love, April

Darling, I thought I saw you on the evening train today. Your hair was flowing, red and fiery like it normally was. Except it had a different shine to it this time like you had moved on – like you weren’t looking back…except you did look over your shoulder – a glance – to adjust the strap that was slipping off. It… wasn’t you, though. The smile cascaded to a frown and I turned to look at someone else’s stranger. Baby, I considered burning the rest of your clothes your mother didn’t ask for (I couldn’t bring myself to do it). I sat in the vintage yellow seats of our kitchen ins
