the death of ignorance (ecstatic symmetry)

dancing in the ruins of the dead divines
i smelled the earth after the first rain
no more crackle of grass in a lake like glass
near ashimmer with new possibilities

and i lumbered through pain
to free me from the chains

stomping on a skull in its ruined crown
i heard the sound of its gnashing teeth
a lesser antilles of emptied homilies
near ashameless with inert fragilities

and i forged through pain
to free me from the chains

flaming through the deep of waters parted
i roared the defiance of an open tomb
saved two of each kind of all souls to find
near asundered with reassembled symmetries

and i frolicked through pain
to free me from the chains

What We Do in the Shadows

It’s a bit weird when you think about it. We’ll go absolutely wild when we’re writing different stuff, but then feel pretty numb when it comes to self-promotion. So we decided we’d be better off showing you what we’re working on at the moment—not tell.

Script Excerpt 1

Yup, that’s right! We’re working on an actual graphic novel! Exciting, wouldn’t you agree? Scripting is seventy-five percent done and we’re experimenting with different art and colouring styles, so it’s full steam ahead!

Cast 1

Of course, we will complete this epic project whether we get financial support or not, but should you decide to treat us to a cup of Ko-fi or even become our Patron then just know that we are eternally grateful to you!

Beware, Art and Neil! Tati and Tony have entered the ring!

The very next time I read a blog, I hope that it doesn’t fail me as much as this particular one. I mean, I know it was my choice to read, nonetheless I genuinely believed you would have something useful to talk about. All I hear is a bunch of moaning about something you could possibly fix if you were not too busy seeking attention.

What else could we expect?)

one year, six days

three girlfriends chatting in a mall café
sip coffee, pick at cake with small forks
first girl says that she slept fully clothed
but now she sleeps in her pajamas
second girl says she sleeps in her best lingerie
the set she was keeping for a ‘special case’
and the third one says that she sleeps naked
so rescuers will pay attention and save her first
and they giggle, and they go on to discuss
which lipstick shades are trendy this spring

meanwhile the tired rescuers go home, in silence
today they were saving human lives
