[27paperlilies]

Destitution Its taste is rather unpleasant, dry and stale it weighes heavy on my tongue. I could streatch it all around me, cling to its feeble bones. But there in lies the agony, of holding on with little hope. If you could shed that weathered skin I hear someone implore, my answer is I wouldnt let my heart leap at the chance to explore, a life without such a suffocating chore. Hope is far more brutal than this suffering has ever been, to see it glinting in the heavens but for it to be so far out of reach. I watch the lucky ones sometimes, in thier joy and indulgence I see what could have been, food to fill my empty shell, and a smile with happy memories to tell. Even in my misery, I take pride in all I have, for there are certainly some that would think me spolt, in my richly stained rags. So I offer what I can, and that is these words I share, I hope they bring you something, because I have found in them little if not nothing.

it’s hard to love when you’re tired, it’s hard to love when you’re afraid you’ll lose everything

We’re passing a Staples store and a Courtyard Marriott and then a Target, corporate franchises that remind me of some larger narrative of this life that I’ll never be able to control, that this country of ours is a cold commercial machine, one that asks us to feed it and feed it, and whatever time we have left for our families we better use well, but it’s hard to love when you’re tired, it’s hard to love when you’re afraid you’ll lose everything.

— Andre Dubus III, Such Kindness: A Novel (W.W. Norton, June 6, 2023)

A man is never so wholly destitute but that good fortune will not favour him with one more smile before he dies.

The Dry

My heart’s voice cries in the sand, oceans of mourning lost in the dry, lying, not listening, not understanding, as my end fire burns in the western sky, perpetually and always ahead of me, waiting for the last grain to pour from my side.

Drala'fa

"Children. The poor. My people's word for their kind is 'drala'fa': the ignored. They are everywhere, see everything, but are never seen." A quote from one of my favorite videogames. Not my usual fare but sometimes I like doing something different. Living in major city the homeless and impoverished people are too common a sight. I'm not in any financial position to help them but it's not something that should be ignored.

"The nations shall revere your name, O LORD, and all the kings of the earth your glory, when [You] regarded the prayer of the destitute, and not despised their prayer."
