Slendher
I graze upon you with invisible fingers
Memories of touch tug at me
Like puppet strings
Memories of you
Dwindle
My heart a needle
Thoughts a thread againat
A thymbel
I love you
But I am breathless
I want to eat you only with my lips
And maybe my mouth
You are small like me I think
A lot like me I think
I see you eldest
When I look in the mirror.
You are me
But beautiful and thin
I want to taste it
Sin
Borne in blood
Between us
I cannot speak it
I'd say I love you
But I am breathless
Trans Lugia (WIP)
The story of Lugia is very much tied into the story of their writer, Takeshi Shudô. He was saddened to see the direction they took with Lugia in the film, feeling Lugia was presented in a way too masculine for what he envisioned.
I find myself emotionally invested in Lugias fate, I want to recognize the her inherent...I want to understand the langauge, the words he spoke, as I understand poetry. I find myself wondering, relying on others for her form, her words...am I so helpless to be named man as well after so many years unattested, even if miserable? Did I not bring happiness? Is my childhood not forever a scar? It is too late for Takeshi to change things...at least how I see it. People have moved on. Discussion threads on Bulbapedia are already 12 years old, the links to the translations broken. All I have left is the original japanese blog posts from Takeshi Shudô.
If your reading this and your interested I have included the link. I'd appreciate any feedback on any of the posts, regardless on what they are about. Thanks for reading either way.
Takeshi's blog:
Chuckin Chicken
2, 3 chicken breasts in the air fryer
It aint enough for you
4 or 5 more
Your hunger I adorned
On my heart, cooking spicy like spicy love
With you
Turned hot when you suddenly said
I aint hungry
But I still got a soft spot
On my heart
For your dumbass bullshit, your games
Packing shit up
But it always ends the same
"Im tired of your bullshit"
He tellin me like I aint shit
Chuckin clothes in trash bags
My fucking trashbags
Clothes I folded so nicely
You folded so icey but you
Cant even drive yourself home
Got me droppin you off
With your clothes
In a car
That you cant even lock
You aint got nothing on lock
But my heart is unlocked for you
Thoughts on Serial Experiments Lain
The show exists for me in a very nostalgic place. It makes me think about what the meaning of Nostalgia is to begin with. When I looked up the definition on Merrium Webster it was something to the effect of melancoly and overly sentimental longing for the past. More bizzare the American Heritage Foundation said it may be fatal in one of their definitons. Apparently it used to be an actual diagnosis. It's interesting to me to distinguish what i think a word means, and then learn what it really means through its history. Lain longs for a home in her humanity, though it never really existed at all. What was once an illusive almost supernatural world full of meaning lost its meaning as she drove herself deeper and deeper into the wired. Her connection to home grew more and more painful as reality dissappeared and she still hung onto what reality used to mean. It's a lot like how we today become dissallusioned with life as we spend all day online, constantly connected to dozens of platforms and screens of different kinds. The technology might look more obviously bizzare and disturbing in Lain with the tubes and wires and buzzing but our own world I think provokes the same emotion if you ground yourself to reality. The problem is i think searching for something that was never real. I think for a moment Lain let those walls down with that final hug.

A trans woman looks at herself in the mirror
Iris?
Floating down river as my gaze glimmers over glass.
Weather me woman piercing lights
Cacoon a cascading layer of man, yet each layer ever so thin as paper skin
Blue eyes beautey basking in her light
Breathless at the sight of blood
Soaked in synergy inside her eyes eye
Where her male gaze fades away
Dissappearing into the mirror until a stranger meets her gaze
Its a movie in front of her
Moving picturesque
The beautiful is opaque
Evil is clear and transluscent
Social Suicide
My life is worthless to you, small and insignificant yet you try so hard to extinguish me. I come out as a furry in high school you say:
Social Suicide
My heart sinks. Have I thrown everything away? Is it my fault I'm a furry? My fault I'm an outcast? My fault I'm autistic? My fault im depressed...its so silly, spoken aloud. My problems, clouds. Soft and dreamy, just a little less sun and im weak and weary...
Social Suicide
They are your words, not mine. So worried of others that you've already died. Maybe you are the one who has killed oneself to fit in? I had no friends then, but when will you have a true friend when your already dead?
Social Suicide
You were just trying to warn me, however misguided...why cant we be carefree...why must we die to belong, to belong inside our own homes, found families, find our own roads? Why can't i let you go? Why cant i commit?
Social Suicide.
Please just write. Love yourself. Live life. Your self advice is that there is no self help advice and we can only exist.

Analysis:
The first few lines about science and untroubled silence puts me in the headspace of the learned astronomer. I appreciate how small of a moment this poem tries to capture, and how that is emcapsulated by the subject of the poem a snowflake (though the word is unused in the poem). Perhaps the exclusion of the word snowflake or any such name for the object of focus has some relation to the final line, which deals in form as a "...perfect individual shape is lost".
A perfect individual shape being lost in the mass of complexity, which on the surface appears simple as snow often does. Thats whats so perplexing about nature, makes me want to stare at it for long periods of time.
Its somewhat melancholic that something as perfectly indivual as a snowflake is lost in frost, yet still when one looks at fresh frost it is beautiful. This touches my gothic sensibilities as someone whose come to see beautiful in the misery of a quiet untroubled life (perhaps thats hard to explain to most people but maybe poets will understand that).
A perfect individual shape being lost in its collective also put me in mind of platonic forms (ie what is a chair?) Perhaps something as seemingly simple as snow is really quite inexplicable when you view it in its totality of snowflakes, such is humanity in the context of humans. I find such truths overwhelming and depressing particularly in cold winter months.
Snow is suffocating with this reminder yet it is also an escape, as it is profound.

They crystallize in untroubled silence In this early pause, it's a quiet science When you look up Standing so perfectly still No movement but your Breath billowing up towards the sky One catches your eye Before weaving slowly to the ground Before joining the others in the frost You don't make a sound As its perfect, individual shape is lost
Vhsige
Waves, like eye worms float in my field of view, fixed on a point. The point is the image of a woman, every strand of hair its own entity of woman. Brushed perfectly, my feelings brushed perfectly, as I lie in bed I watch her hair fall over me, I feel it in my sleep when I dream and a million fingers grace my cheeks. Her gentle curve is an image, like an image on a curved screen so smooth it isnt real. Im depressed again. I do not love the woman but the lines, the static, the electricity between us. If i touched her she would shock me, make my heart stop beating. I don't know who she is and I'm afraid to find out. I want her image, to be her image, and let the humanity left slip away. Perhaps you may feel it one day on our tape, when you play the tape. When you hold a finger over the TV screen and feel that familiar fuzz you had forgotton. A memory you can't quite reach? That is my hand reaching out to touch yours, but never reaching.
