Two Dogs and a Deus Ex Machina

@dollarstrilogyevent prompt 4: FRIENDSHIP

In which Blondie’s mind wanders some while healing at the mission….

In San Francisco

there were these two dogs–fighting in a group, and baring teeth.

One saved the other from the fate of most dogs in a large port town,

and let him sleep curled up inside a frequently-haunted saloon door.

Bummer (as the first was called) brought scraps to wounded Lazarus

(The latter named by locals for surviving, often cheating Death.)

This duo later killed 400 rats in less than half an hour, when the fruit market overturned,

and both were set upon those plagueish banes.

(Or, so many glib reporters said, including the one that wrote about the “Celebrated Jumping Frog.”)

They even said that those two mongrels once helped stop a small, stampeding horse!Which is why I lean now, toward their remembrance. THAT, or, Delirium.

(Arch..Angel Gabriel? No. “Arch Stanton.”)

Bummer and Lazarus! Beloved by the masses, but “friends”? DOGS?!Because they had to be.

Because one saw the other lamed, then thought, perhaps,

“One day that could be me. When I’m alone.”

And, look!

There is Lazaraus, sleeping at my door.

(This is based sort of on true events. Search “Bummer and Lazarus Mark Twain.”)

Oh to have the poetic symbiosis of a rogue who bites people when he’s stressed and a barbarian who becomes resistant to physical damage when he’s protecting his friends

Tuesday March 21.

World Poetry Day.

Today is a celebration—but perhaps, like all celebrations, just what we are commemorating is something that we must treasure each and every day. Poetry, some might say, is just that: the treasure that artists mine from the sham and drudgery of day-to-day life. For the poet, their art is found not by searching for the exotic, mysterious, glamourous, or seductive, but by what they find before them. What is mundane and routine is as much material to be mined as life's intensities or spectacles. For the poet, the world really is their oyster. And for the rest of us, the work they produce is that very pearl. And every shade of experience, whether joy, grief, banality, intrigue, and beauty, are encapsulated in words, spaces, silence, images, and form. Whether by skill, or by chance, no one really knows, but perhaps the mess and the mystery are one and the same as its profundity. With that in mind, let's celebrate a good thing. And a good thing that is ours each and every day. It's #world poetry day.

With that in mind, we invite you to mark the day here on Tumblr. After all, there is simply no better community of poets and artists who make up this creative sphere, and the evergreen world of all things poetry is, well, your world. 

And when all is said and done, you better get writing x

And I said, “Hello, Satan

I believe it’s time to go.”

#my art #southern gothic #been too depressed to create anything but I’ve made this today #the little rhyme has been in my head for a few weeks #spilled ink #I guess do people still use that tag for poetry or am I old lol #I’ve been writing in my journal pretty much daily and sometimes spitting out little poems like this #not much energy for art #so I’m not gonna pressure myself to keep it up #I’m just gonna enjoy the fact that I made this #I hope ur all well <33 #the devil #by the way this isn’t meant to be fan art of Robert Johnson #but it’s inspired by him and the stories of musicians who sell their souls to the devil #I am still thinking very hard and have mostly drafted a cornstalk fiddle comic #god knows how long it’ll stay in a notebook haha #my comic #comics

There's something so magical about winter's sunlight. Whenever I sit under that sunlight even for just fifteen minutes then I just feel like I'm healing and love is real.
