30+💫they/them💫PL+ENG💫 I draw and have many OCs. I make a webcomic called InfoHazard [links ► infohazard.carrd.co ] I share other people's art a lot. My art tag is #Enuszkart

Occasionally I will do poetry. Occasionally I like how it turns out. It's still topical for me and close to my heart. It's a result of a restless night without sleep. Forward is not a straight line/Embark

Free verse poetry on a dark blue background with a canvas texture with a drawing of a sailboat in choppy water in the bottom right corner. The poem reads: 

You embark
Far from shore on either end
Expanse abounds
And, the best laid plans from you of the past,
Sincere as they were
Crumble, mast crashing
Forward is not a straight line

Dear me of the past,
Thank you for getting our ship
Setting fire, taking risk
You could not have known how far we'd go
Courageous you, eyes aglow
The battles we'd wage
How lost we'd become
A perilous cork flung far from home
Forward is not a straight line

It's tempting to heap coals of regret
On the self of past days
Full of "if onlys" hull cracked
Deal with pitch, imagine
"If I were better, if I were brighter"
If only the horizon was fixed in place
Not made of decision shaped cliffs that
Clatter and shimmer
Forward is not a straight line

This is not your funeral
Do not immolate, stay your hand
Shipwrecked raft
Cross of earth and sky lost
Within crashing waves
You left shore with a compass
Bobbing above water
We find our North amidst the squall
Tuned compass in hand, a gift from you
The one who embarked, all those me's ago
We find our next forward,
It is not a straight line

The Flanderization of ghibli in the public mind is just so insane to me. Acting like it’s entirely wholesome and cutesy but is really overtly anti capitalist, depict the horrors of war and environmental decline, and have TONS of body horror and depictions of death and disease. it legit annoys me
