"My Butterflies Turn to Daggers & Knives"
Someone at the old Alphabet Stickers place was not having it that day
No matter how far forward you move
There’ll always be rain clouds that pass over you
We might feel like
All our progress hasn’t lead
but Its just the rain
passing overhead
______
What we may feel as a setback, can still be forward progress, it’s just the factors outside of us that move around our path.
You can still be moving forward, even though it’s cloudy overhead
Some things are just too big to pass through
even though we don’t stop moving ahead

[image id: a four-page comic. it is titled “immortality” after the poem by clare harner (more popularly known as “do not stand at my grave and weep”). the first page shows paleontologists digging up fossils at a dig. it reads, “do not stand at my grave and weep. i am not there. i do not sleep.” page two features several prehistoric creatures living in the wild. not featured but notable, each have modern descendants: horses, cetaceans, horsetail plants, and crocodilians. it reads, “i am a thousand winds that blow. i am the diamond glints on snow. i am the sunlight on ripened grain. i am the gentle autumn rain.” the third page shows archaeopteryx in the treetops and the skies, then a modern museum-goer reading the placard on a fossil display. it reads, “when you awaken in the morning’s hush, i am the swift uplifting rush, of quiet birds in circled flight. i am the soft stars that shine at night. do not stand at my grave and cry.” the fourth page shows a chicken in a field. it reads, “i am not there. i did not die” / end id]
a comic i made in about 15 hours for my school’s comic anthology. the theme was “evolution”

“These voices keep visiting me at night
They argue with each other over my paralysed body
They repeat over & over again:
God is now here | God is nowhere
God is now here | God is nowhere
God is now here | God is nowhere
& I don’t know who to believe”
