thirst quencher

Tristan Robert Lange


Notice of absence from Tristan Robert Lange
Life is full of seasons. This is a season of transition for me, where I will be moving with my family to a new location. As such, with much logistics to consider, I am doing my best to keep up. Please know if I accidentally don't respond, it is not because I am ghosting or becoming distant. Once things settle after the move, I am sure life will return to some normalcy. In the meantime, and always:

Read 👓, Write ✍️, Rise 🌅, Realize 🤯.

Tristan 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
interception of perception
no need for contraception—
safety subverts the senses—
no pretenses nor defenses,
 
tied up in barbed-wire fences,
 
a thistle thimble
 
dropped head first,
gravity kills the nimble
and quenches
 
death’s thirst.

    Conception until delivery and head first describes it well on both ends. This poem is well woven with meaning. Nicely done my friend

  • Friendship

    A strong poem. The poet likely aims to provoke thought about the nature of safety and existence, encouraging me as the reader to consider how my perceptions are shaped by societal pressures and personal fears.
