Late night thoughts from not long ago
Even after it seems to have healed
-----
Grief is a wound that keeps opening
Even after it scars
Suddenly, it bleeds
It's like living with a hole in the heart
Its existence may be forgotten from time to time
But when you turn your eye towards it
Mercilessly, it pulls you in
You may manage to ground yourself and quickly look away
But if you do take a peek
You see a glimpse of another time
A whiff of feelings from the past
But even if you follow the thread
There is nothing on its end
Cut off brutally and taken away
So you can only backtrack
Crawl out of the hole
And look away towards what's still there
But with a clouded vision for a moment
From the wound that keeps on opening

poets are so annoying, oh you think you can just barge into my place and grab a childhood memory I barely know of, sprinkle images for me to whiff like a starving addict, as I bite my tongue unable to sing along to the music I understand but don’t know lyrics for? get out

My #1 post of 2022
I was leaving the doctor and an elderly lady entered the lift after me. I clicked the level 0 button, which flustered her; her hand twitched towards the buttons and hovered over level 1, and she asked, "mine is one, right?". Doubt instantly flowed into my eyebrows, because I think (but am not sure) that the rest of the building is filled with office spaces, but in my confusion I only managed to squeeze out "I... don't know?". She hesitated for a moment, then looked at me directly, "I want to go down?", so this time I answered with reassurance that it should be level 0 then. Her body relaxed visibly and her hand dropped, as she turned towards the door, apologizing and embarrassed, “I get easily confused and muddled”. I said “it’s okay”, but I don’t know if she heard me or not; her eyes fixed on the door and her face became solemn, as she kept quietly talking how it’s the age speaking and what it does to the mind. Her parting words were spoken in the tone which I can’t really pinpoint; on one hand firm and impassive, on the other with a tinge of powerless anger and sadness typical for the late stage of grieving something lost:
“Old age is cruel.”
And that was our farewell.
I don’t fear years adding to my age; I treat life as experiences and growth, which can only keep increasing as we live longer. I do fear, however, the moment when my mind starts slipping too drastically and the body gives up beyond repair, my world falling apart while I am still alive and grasping at straws...

It's such a funny feeling posting stuff on a tiny sideblog no one cares about, where each post gets like 3 likes and it's all from your irl friends, bc it really feels like mumbling to yourself in your own piece of void which is so remote and obscure that no one even ventures there
Pov you ventured into my obscure side blog

Execution by the grave
Slashes quickly with a blade
The body sits still in the mud
Before collapsing with a thud
The head rolls over and he sees a smile
In those gentle eyes now losing their shine
He wakes up with a start

Execution by the grave
Slashes quickly with a blade

He wakes up with a start
periodically I get the urge to write poetry again but now that I've taken multiple poetry classes where I read hundreds of contemporary poems, and then read 2x the amount of contemporary poems from going through all the recent issues of poetry magazines in my school library (because i spent hours in the magazine archive section of the library every evening because I went there for alone time), I have a deep hate and loathing of "literary" poetry and the magazines that publish it
The more I have read poetry journals, the more I have despised contemporary "literary" poetry. I think it is because of the following things:
These poems are virtually impossible to parse or "get" anything from without formal education in poetry. They are aimless, unstructured and ambiguous to the extent that most of them are almost total gibberish.
They're almost exclusively written by people with MFAs or PhD's in poetry, which would explain why they seem like they come from a perspective where any combination of words that is comprehensible in a normal way is automatically rejected as trite.
Rhyme and meter are nearly extinct in English poetry right now, and 90% of poems are flat, aimless "free verse" that reads like sad mumbling.
Literary magazines publish material from an array of writers belonging to minority groups, creating an initial whiff of "socially-aware and 'representing' the experiences of oppressed voices," but they are heavily, disproportionately interested in the trauma and suffering-oriented aspects of these voices, consistently selecting extremely raw, triggering, viscerally upsetting writing to represent minority writers.
That last point is the biggest reason I lost my taste for poetry. Partly, it was just the overwhelming focus on human misery in general, but it felt like poems by "minority" writers were especially afflicted.
I don't have numbers gathered together to support this, but it was very noticeable, both in my classes and in my independent reading, that poems about spring, birds, flowers, appreciating beauty, and literally anything innocuous generally were written by white men. Poems by writers of color, as well as poets described as LGBTQ+ in any way, were so frequently focused on abuse, oppression, sexual violence, being called slurs, and trauma that you would easily think only cishet white guys wrote about anything else.
It's not at all that I think marginalized writers should only write about happy things—i'm not criticizing the writers at all, but rather the publishers.
After you've read about a thousand poems from literary magazines, the traumatic poems stop looking like individual writers asking you to look at a challenging and painful reality, and start looking like choices made by editors and publishers, and you start to see them all arrayed in a pattern, a pattern that repeats until the individual poems blur together and it stops appearing uplifting or socially aware and starts to take this sick, almost fetishistic feeling, because there is so little joy, so little celebration, almost no redemption or healing or just normal life shown in the poems by "marginalized" poets, only this flat one-dimensional gallery of poems competing to be the most blatant public confessional of the worst trauma.
Here's a recent poem from Poetry Daily that showcases a lot of what I can't stand about contemporary poetry
It's literally a bunch of sentences separated into stanzas. The structure alone is so flat and despairing. There's no immediately comprehensible topic or direction anywhere. It's basically a rhythmless, plodding list of images that mostly seem barely related to one another, some appearing to be no-context traumatic memories, each stated as a sentence.
This does NOT save my life a little bit.
one of the poets i had to read for one of my classes was David Kirby, whose writing is best described as "POV: incredibly pretentious man talks at you in a way he thinks is 'cool' and 'casual' because he's wine-drunk and thinks he's the most charming, charismatic person alive."
Most of his poems are like, 4 pages long.
Some of my gripes sound incredibly overly specific but they describe a whole entire category of bad literary poem
A lot going on here. There's rhythm but it's like "THUNK....THUNK.....THUNK...THUNK.....THUNK..."
Anyway, this one is an iteration of "visceral detail of someone using their hands for preparing/handling/"separating"/ "parting"/"cleaving" etc, meat or something with "flesh" or flesh-like qualities, but it feels like a very subtle, sublimated gesture at a metaphor for sexual violation." There are...a weird amount of poems like this.
But it's fashionable right now for "literary" poets to be so extremely viscerally tactile in their poetry that they can't describe anything without making it sound like human genitals. So who knows.
Honestly, what's wrong with so many writers that they make everything except sex sound so sexual???They'll write about their mom's smoking problem like "The silky cleave of cigarette smoke slipped its fingers into the bathroom door, spread its sticky folds in the pink lungs within me" And then write about actual sexual intercourse like "My sex, its slug-like mass, convulsed like a vacuum cleaner gargling spilled dog kibble..."
Nice! Have you considered that I am being killed by having read this in a most painful manner?
Not included: the very long poem where the speaker talks about masturbating 5 different times
Everything this says and more.
Bring back sonnets. Bring back terza rima. Bring back poems that aren’t precise established forms like sestinas and so on but at least use the music of language, with regular metrical beats, rhymes and alliterations, assonances, following the rules enough that when the poet breaks one it means something. Find words that thunder and sing. Read Swinburne, Yeats and Auden out loud. Read Housman’s spare, perfect couplets. Then go try to do the kind of thing they did. And for god’s sake, stop writing about chrome and raw meat.

A tiny sprout Sits in a shell
It doesn't know How to grow Or to share Which way to go Where branches to spread When better to bloom And when it should bend
It looks around But backs away fast So many others Having a blast
It feels mediocre And a bother at best Doesn't want to push Its insignificant interests
And so it sits In its tiny shell Walked past by many Just what it's best at
I learn about words and their result - the sound People say to count and to think of the ground I hear "unnatural" as if a foreign concept Leaving me bewildered, suspicious of the content
Once again the grail fell and illusion vanished The teacher has opinions! They need not be garnished I am after all but a freak, a relic of the past At least as per the writer's state of the art
So here I go! I do be me now mindlessly So sweet till it lasts - not long, advisedly

I’m flicking in and out of existence
Clouds
**Click for better quality
Something reached a hand and gripped my insides tight
It twists and twirls, no end crawling up my lungs
Tightens up my throat and pushes hot tears out
And suddenly I know
It’s you, my dearest heart
I lost you long ago and yet it feels just now
A wound that never heals I wish it brought you back
Late night thoughts from not long ago
Losing someone dearly loved is like living with a hole in your heart. It may get smaller, it may get hardened, you may even forget about it sometimes. But from time to time you look at it again and realize that it’s still very much there, like a glimpse of another time, a bond which you try to follow but end up hanging from a string cut off in the middle, wondering where those eyes went and where the warmth seeped to, robbed by the hungry world. Sometimes it’s easier to look away and walk in the other direction. But sometimes you trip and fall down, the heart constricting as if trying to trap you in the grief again, but the only thing squeezed out are tears accompanied by pain in the chest. And you’re falling and falling but there is nowhere to.

Thirteen notes dance on my tongue
Tingling the lips yet leaving them closed
A reverberation apparent in whole
With nowhere to escape to except inward
No tension seeps into the flesh though
Pliant above expectations adorn
Quietness around despite symphonies at core
A temper night of sorts for peacefulness of thought
poets are so annoying, oh you think you can just barge into my place and grab a childhood memory I barely know of, sprinkle images for me to whiff like a starving addict, as I bite my tongue unable to sing along to the music I understand but don’t know lyrics for? get out
