four weird poems by Réka Nyitrai for #weirdpoemwednesday cc: @tomsnarsky.bsky.social

French theory

I watch ants carry rain from one city to another.
I take an example.
I put a cloud in a tote bag.
I notice how the north wind descends from a black limousine.
It takes my hat
and throws it into the past.

Details

Earth and laughter.
These are what dolls are made of.
Nothing like rice pudding
or sleep.
Just emotions;
perfectly flawed. Sunny.
Like that girl holding a kitten.
Or the thief who broke into your flower
shop
last weekend.

Too late

After the tempest, they delay the trains.
I look for you everywhere in the Gare du Nord
but you aren't on the beautiful vampire list.
Still, I have not stopped raining,
so I write your name on seven napkins
to be left in seven cafes.
But you sleep far away
in a cornfield of poppies—
little ladybug, dreaming,
dreaming.

Comma

I take the daffodils
and give them mouth-to-mouth.
The radio cuts to a music station.
The rain stops.
If I had to choose a new star, it would be Betelgeuse.
If you proposed to me, I would refuse.
I know (,) that July is the right month for dancing,
so I give up everything
and jump off the knife's edge.

“The more we imbue the world with imagination, the more the world is ensouled – and the more soul it returns to us, singing with meaning.” Patrick Harpur ~ (painting by John Albert Bauer)

Mythic painting of a small child wearing a crown, her forehead to the nose of a huge gentle bear.

It's been a rough few weeks for all my trans homies out there, so I just want to say you are loved for who you are and fuck whatever those assholes want you to be. I hope the hate in their hearts eats them alive. But you, you deserve love.

Una brasa encendida arde en mi, en ti, en todo y esas mismas estrellas que hasta aquí me han guiado son las que se complacen en su pulso de luz Siendo un solo ser

Agreed! I lack the discipline to routinely achieve good effects with flexible nibs, and a wide nib (1.1 italic, broad oblique, whatever) gives me nice line variation and a smooth, grippy feel on the page.

Close…it’s 60% sanding, 20% jig-making, 15% spending money on new tools and 4% cursing/ misplacing your tape measure. The remaining 1% is a reeeeaaall fine dice of adhd-infused moments of competency.

She may have used a stubby/ architect/ italic nib. I use an italic nib since I like a little line variation, but lack the discipline to attempt calligraphy.

Jotters rule! Introduced in 1954, their internal, rotating click mechanism remains unchanged….a first-year jotter will accept a refill made this morning.

Shop organization? I lack this gene. I have 1,500 sqft of slovenly, albeit keenly sharpened, mess.

The staves are white oak. The substrates are oak plywood for the cabinet, and Medex for the shower wall.

And a shower surround behind the vanity.

A shower surround made with a bunch of black-lacquered oak staves.
