I really like the phoenixes, at first I thought they were the same image, just inverted, but then I looked closer XD

technically speaking, it is the "same image" just interpreted slightly differently on each sheet. thanks for posting.

solitude pt 2
with apologies to charles bukowski

u know - u get so alone sometimes
that its easier to withdraw into your own self
than to connect with other human creatures;
that the intensity of your loneliness
becomes so overwhelming that to burden anyone else with it
should be considered an act of violence.
whenever you're around other people
it only seems everyone else is so much happier than you:
more together, more capable of coping with the vicissitudes of life,
more fitting in,
more...
and to admit to these mores
that you're not okay -
that you can't really cope -
could only further your humiliation.
i mean, you can't be weak
'cause they're not weak.
so where do you go?
everyone has their own problems to cope with
(stop whining already, what the hell do you have to complain about? did i tell you..)
so you go it alone
build up an impenetrable facade
don't let anyone in for fear that you'll fall apart without the false front
and carry on

you get so alone sometimes

...........................................

silvery, shiny-edged washed-out grey;
an epicentre so bright it stings my eyes to look.
so i shield my eyes with hand -
fingers splayed, letting slivers of light through
even birdsong's muted
in apparent deference to this weakly warm repose.
at the edges a superfaded denim sky
(– it almost seemed to be getting ready to rain this aft –).
popcorn clouds
like islands dividing a deepening lake;
at the tippy top the sky's still clinging cerulean.

this is just another
late afternoon
summer's day
sliding slowly towards sunset.

...........................................

i.
i'm used to feeling superior
knowing i can always criticise you
and find you lacking
in all my imagined strengths

with horror i've had to admit
the enemy is me
that while nitpicking you humanity
i'd conveniently overlooked mine
that
the enemy is me

ii.
we used to be friends
or maybe we never really were
its only recently i've had to face intimacy with you
and allow you to see
what an a*****e i can be

i spent so much time avoiding closeness
because secretly i knew
the enemy is me
that i'm incapable of living with the fullness of me
in contact with another

the enemy is me
