Here's a #poem I wrote over on Poetizer that I think turned out really well

This piece by #beksinski always reminds me of Ambrose Bierce's "Inhabitant of Carcosa"...with extra bones

Then again, I've also been on a MASSIVE #kinginyellow kick lately so I'm doubly biased

That old turtle knew scary things
Always talking with his plants as if they were friends
He didn't think that was as weird as everyone else did
He often felt himself a friend to the critters in the night
-Me, Ipsissimus

#beksinski 's use of faces in this piece
Untitled, 1980
Makes me think of the "Marriage" rituals in Fear and Hunger
and the False Hydra (Flesh Hydra?) hidden in the dungeons

His texturing is, as always, impeccable

Apologies for being gone

I was shown this "Poetizer" app and I've been posting a LOT over there at work

Here's one of my recent #poems

Wash onto my Shore

I'll be your Sand on blackened sea
When waves they break your ship
Wash up on my shores and we
Can watch our Venoms mix

-Cartwheels-

A little bird
With shining feathers
Found me bound in brightest blues

Softest words
Made twisting fetters
Wound about her vibrant hues

Watchful eye
And Jealous tongue
The Blood to wash the Love away

To open sky
I watch her run
To Live and Die another day

#beksinski has an entire other side to his works that I usually don't post, because they're pretty sexual and just not what I generally like

That being said, this piece is closer to that more...primal side's style of his #art

This feels like a tribute to a lost dog

Playing Cult of the Lamb has given me GREAT ideas for my next #cosmichorror short story "Ipsissimus"

I think it's going to follow a small cult's medicine man, and his discovery and research into the application of mushroom based "remedies"

I got Cult of the Lamb's Unholy Alliance on steam deck so I can ask my coworkers if they want to help me start a cult on lunch breaks

But playing it has given me ideas
I think my next #cosmichorror story Ipsissimus is leaning more towards a cult and it's fungal offerings...

It pays to be an ass

Ok....everyone shut up and stay calm

I'm going to try to position myself as a skaldic emissary

If you discover any books you never bought just...TRY not to read the second act

Trust me

This #beksinski piece makes me think of the ruins of Carcosa

The land that stands after it's fall

Sending it's echo out to all with ears

Across the waves of time and space

Waking them under it's Twin Suns

Binding them with his scalloped tatters

Learned a new word today

Crypsis:
An organism's ability to blend into it's environment
synonym - Camouflage

On an unrelated note, I've got a new idea, AND title!
I think it fits a story focusing on The Ochre Queen herself perfectly

Yea, I think I like how The Homunculus turned out

It's at least in a good enough state to move on to the next story, 'Ipsissimus'

This one's gonna be cool
It follows a drug dealer exposed to The Yellow Sign, and the corruption he spreads

#havamal stanza 19
Auden & Taylor translation

Drink your mead, but in moderation,
Talk sense or be silent:
No man is called discourteous who goes
To bed at an early hour

Years later
Under those same thrumming yellow lights
Cloaked in a chipped coat of aged tile
Surrounded by the rotting failures of attempts long past
A homunculus gave birth to it's creator
Setting fire to the last vestiges of hope for a fractured world

He felt their truths poison his bones, taking seat in the spaces between his basest building blocks

Their lies consumed the largest parts of him

Filling the gaps with corruption, and scrimshawing It's maddened lines into the surface of every atom

#beksinski still has my favorite visual examples of #cosmichorror

His #art is like the fevered subconscious made tangible

It speaks in feeling rather than form
And somehow it's weirdness almost always makes the viewer feel small in the grand scheme

I'm almost done with The Homunculus, and excited to start on the 3rd #cosmichorror short story in my book

I quoted the beginning, and gave the end

I quoted the end, and gave the beginning

Next story, "Ipsissimus" follows a drug dealer's newest offering...

Just as with the stars above
there are many vantages beyond our own
Time
Life
Love
All things shift with the turning of the cosmic kaleidoscope

It was his job to love her

His job to host her

Their job, together
to wake them all under the Twin Suns

He was sure his program had devolved entirely

Proof that it was never her

That he had lost his mind long before the graves
Before the tubes and freezers

The heavy locks that did nothing to keep those pitiful whimpers from stabbing at his heart
-Me, The Homunculus
