context:

kabuki/noh:

i wrote this after imagining the sound engineer at an older, film based cinema with the big film reels had fucked up and used the wrong audio for this noir film and ended up overlaying a kabuki or noh performance over the top making some really weird superimpositions. i imagine it's sort of a tyler durden fight club kinda thing but safer for work and a genuine accident. the sound engineer is shitting themselves because they cant fix it, the audience is confused as to why some parts sync but others aren't, and why aren't there subtitles? and surely film with attached sound has been invented by now?? (i imagine it's america in the 90's and everyone's impatient and smoking in the cinema on their huge phones thinking about the next episode of sex and the city). anyway, the noir is unsentimental about love in the typical american way and is full of excruciating moments of miscommunication but the japanese overdub lends a tenderness to it in conrast with it's sort of regimented and polite nature. like, the audience don't really know whats going on and it fits and theres music but their american uncuriousity stops them from looking further.

absynthium:

i wrote this when i was 15/16 give me a break... school was hard...

THIS IS MY FAVOURITE POEM I'VE WRITTEN SO FAR!!! i wrote it back in janurary and then forgot about it because the world felt like a waiting room for the end at that point like i was trapped in, with a relationship where i could see the end and almost a deadline to enjoy all of it while i still could. i still love him. i'm just very hurt. but sometimes it's frustrating when people won't let you love them for a number of reason's and you understand but you can't help even though you could because they won't let you. so you write a poem!!

all the people (song):

i wrote this the other day in my room after not writing a good song in a while (since christmas song probably) but i wrote the lyrics in one sitting.

i wrote this about my bestie!!! i love you!!

letter to my lover

possibly my best poem but that's because it's the shortest and doesn't give me time to talk excessively. it's for the man i loved. rarely is love simple but this was, hence it's brevity. i think it's very charles bukowski- no bullshit, late 50's, early 60's, dirty realism, bottom of the beer bottle, joan baez/bob dylan, joni mitchell, vietnam war hippie protest, origional woodstock, whole world to waste, put the whole world to rights, popular culture americana, middle capitalist, expressive modernist -of me. a homage all that homage momentum of past writers that is dead now, like our love. RIP the homage and my love.
