do you remember how the earth shook
during afternoon tea, the porcelain
quivering as we moved as gracefully
as tectonics, your magmatic lips
shifting fault lines against mine;
how the waves we watched
on the seismograph haunted us
with its binary of mountain or rift?
if we are to remain
static, we will be
side
by side,
no?
i do not remember.
y.
tonight, my legs lay still beneath
a lithosphere of flannel – tired
of rubbing against the other –
remembering earthquakes only kill
when the things we’ve built
on top of them
fall.

 reports, 1d 5h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.63 New Beginnings Contest!*dsoden

do you think static is a lie?

Night after night this message returns repeated..
In the flickering bulbs of the sky..
The being of our sentences in the climate that fostered them
Not ours to own, like a book, but to be with, and sometimes
To be without, alone and desperate -Ashbery
but chemically, until they figure out how to absolute-zero-fy matter, yes.

A pay phone was ringing, just about blew my mind. When I picked it up and said "Hello" a foot came through the line!
I'm definately a sucker for geology metaphors. That being said, I think I would like this better if I hadn't just written a geology exam. It's still too soon to not start crying at the mention of fault lines and lithosphere.
during afternoon tea, the porcelain
quivering [[as we moved as]] graceful[[ly]]
as tectonics, your magmatic lips <--yum
shifting fault[[ line]]s against mine;
how the (seismograph's)waves [[we watched
on the seismograph]] haunted us
with [[its]] binary [[of]] mountain(s) or rift(s)?
if we are to remain
static, we will be
side
by side,
no?
[[everything after that is maudlin]]
Very nice work. Magmatic lips indeed.

LIT NEEDS SOUND
Make A Noise About It Here
one thing: i sort of wanted 'how the waves we watched' to have the pre-l/b connotation of two people watching the waves of sea, but then... they're watching a seismograph. or is that too gimmicky? *asks wise poet*
aside from that, i can't believe i left so many as's in that tectonics line. *sidesteps gutter joke*
cheers,
j.

Yeah, I figured that's what you were doing. Mainly because it -is- a tidbit obvious, you know?
