A Crack in the Sky by Yocha Maitos

Constructing a ginormous light installment in the forest, Maitos was able to accurately  portray the sight of a portal opening up in the night sky. Dont worry though errybody, I’m pretty sure this is the way to Narnia.

A Crack in the Sky

(a response by Andrea Blythe to the above art)

It was there, a bright opening,
and it was impossible to know
what,
if anything,
was on the other side, but I
stepped forward
and through,
to end or to begin, to live or to die,
but at the very least
to discover.

“I used to think I was the strangest person in the world but then I thought there are so many people in the world, there must be someone just like me who feels bizarre and flawed in the same ways I do. I would imagine her, and imagine that she must be out there thinking of me too. Well, I hope that if you are out there and read this and know that, yes, it’s true I’m here, and I’m just as strange as you.”  ― Frida Kahlo

write-handed:

Poetry is
more than
shiny words
or phrases,
more than
line breaks,
rhymes, or
s p a c e s.
It breathes
and sings
and hangs
from strings
tied neatly
to
  our
    secret
        places.

Well said, write-handed, well said.

love poem #3, James Schiller

kathleenjoy:

1 i will put a bee under your bed

2 every day for a year

3 so you do not perceive the increase

4 of bees under your bed

5 and become unconsciously accustomed to their activity

6 which at its culmination
   a. (364 bees)

7 will be substantial

8 you will lay down over a large, undulating field

9 of meticulous noise
   a. their dark purr will comfort you
   b. you will require their delicate sludge to sleep

10 until i sneak
   a. secretly

11 into your bed

12 and take away the bees

13 then you will sense a disturbance in your slumber
   a. the solitude of the night will pierce your mind
   like a piercing mind-knife of solitude

14 and you will cry and sweat

15 and produce other sad fluids in the night

16 and roam the earth in distress

17 until,
a. one day

18 we finally meet

19 and i say

20 i am the man you’ve been searching for

21 all your life

22 and you say who the hell do you think you are
   a. you are distressed, i forgive you

23 and i say

24 i’m the man

25 with all the bees under his bed
