Rereading this piece again is still as painful as the day I wrote it, but the feelings still burn inside me with the same purpose. I will die guarding what is precious to me.

Hope you enjoy this piece with the updated background photo! We tired, but we persist. <3

A photo of decayed leaves and brown ground is pierced through by tiny white snowdrop buds on thin, curving, pale green stems as they sprout up through the ground. A transparent white text box in the center contains a poem written by N.T. Embeast. The author’s name is at the top of the graphic beneath an icon of pale green antlers.

The poem reads as follows:

“I did not bleed
so you could wipe away
all evidence of my pain.
My suffering,
my loss,
is not for your gain.
The bodies buried
in my heart
grow flowers,
and your rapacious hands
would rip them from my chest
before I laid cold an hour.
So I’ll invoke eternity
and never perish
if only to protect
what you
would blemish.”

Hey lovelies, we’re back at it again! This is a correction I wanted to make to my first poetry graphic. I’ll go into details below this reupload, but I hope you enjoy this return to my poetry, now with my own photography as the background. <3

A graphic of a Japanese maple tree in full red hue dropping leaves down on a small stone bench behind a thin black fence, containing a poem written by N.T. Embeast.

The poem reads:

And yet here I come
A beast made entirely of
Your thrown away memories
Baubles once gleaming
Treasures once hunted
Now haunted by their
Discarded songs
Shambling ahead
Weighed by their
Forgotten thrones
And all the more
Full
If dulled
Because I carry
Their persisting
Resisting
Rusted
Love.
