comment_ficGuess what, y'all? I'm still tigriswolf and today’s Thursday! Now’s the day for poetry or lyrics or simply a song title. Just a few simple rules:
No more than three prompts to a single fandom
No more than five prompts at a time
Use the following format:
Supernatural, author's choice, Night of the Hunter
Highlander, Methos,
I have known them all already, known them all –
Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;
I know the voices dying with a dying fall
Beneath the music from a farther room. (TS Eliot)
Now, if nothing new appeals, don't forget the lonely prompts.

Date: 2012-02-02 02:04 pm (UTC)Inception, Arthur/Eames, Richard Siken's "Little Beast" part 4
( You could drown in those eyes, I said.
The fact of his pulse,
the way he pulled his body in, out of shyness or shame or a desire
not to disturb the air around him.
Everyone could see the way his muscles worked,
the way we look like animals,
his skin barely keeping him inside.
I wanted to take him home
and rough him up and get my hands inside him, drive my body into his
like a crash test car.
I wanted to be wanted and he was
very beautiful, kissed with his eyes closed, and only felt good while moving.
You could drown in those eyes, I said,
so it's summer, so it's suicide,
so we're helpless in sleep and struggling at the bottom of the pool.)

Imagine surrender. Imagine being useless.
A stone on the path means the tea's not ready,
a stone in the hand means somebody's angry, the stone inside you still
hasn't hit bottom. (Richard Siken)

How bitter your scorn
I've been a teenager
since before you were born
And younger than some
I've only begun

Then just don't let go
'Cause the emergency room got no vacancy
And we just, and we just, and we just
And we just get up and go!

This, our bodies, possessed by light.
Tell me we'll never get used to it.

rips open his shirt
to show us his heart, all flaming and thorny,
the way he points to it.
He wants to save me
but we disagree from what.
My version of hell
is someone ripping open his shirt
and saying, Look what I did for you.

Date: 2012-02-02 02:36 pm (UTC)Some part of me knew he would show up,
that if I stood in one place long enough
he would find me, like you’re taught to do
when you’re lost. But they never taught us
what to do if both of you are lost,
and you both end up in the same place, waiting.

From I don’t know where.
We’d bob atop, drift
Gently out.
I liked best
When there was nothing
That I could
Or could not see.
But I know
There was more.

Date: 2012-02-02 02:39 pm (UTC)Of all the public places, dear,
to make a scene, I’ve chosen here.
Of all the doorways in the world
to choose to sleep, I’ve chosen yours.
I’m on the street, under the stars.
It’s not as if I’m holding out
for frankincense or myrrh, just change.
You give me tea. That’s big of you.
I’m on my knees. I beg of you.
