fron Sort of an Apocalypse

Perhaps from being beaten thinner and thinner,
the iron of hatred will vanish, forever.

pf_mod

from Six Poems for Tamar

Near my bed, the rustle of newspaper wings.
There are no other angels.

pf_mod

from On Rabbi Kook's Street

More than one prophet
has left this tangle of lanes
while everything topples above him and he becomes someone else.

pf_mod

from A Man in His Life

And his soul is seasoned, his soul
is very professional.
Only his body remains forever
an amateur.

You Mustn't Show Weakness

Sometimes I come crashing down inside myself
without anyone noticing. I'm like an ambulance
on two legs

pf_mod

from Love of Jerusalem

Here they sit and there they walk
Here they hate and there they love.

pf_mod

from Ein Yahav

And I said to myself: that's true, hope needs to be
like barbed wire to keep out despair,
hope must be a mine field.

Day 1:
No use to weep inside and to scream outside.
Behind all this perhaps some great happiness is hiding.

Antimony, Utah, February 2013 by finch (Original Gen)

No Use to Weep by samskeyti (Sherlock BBC, Gen)

Day 2:
The first rain reminds me
Of the rising summer dust.

First Rain by finch (Original Gen)

Day 3:
Love is not the last room: there are others
after it, the whole length of the corridor
that has no end.

Antimony, Utah, March 2013 by finch (Original Gen)

Day 4:
But then it is the light that makes you remember.

Day 5:
Restless I shall wander about;
hungry for life I'll die.

Day 6:
And no more shall we tell what we were told
To other tellers. Silence as admission.

Day 7:
Do not accept these rains that come too late.
Better to linger. Make your pain
An image of the desert.

from Do Not Accept

Do not accept these rains that come too late.
Better to linger. Make your pain
An image of the desert.

from And We Shall Not Get Excited

And no more shall we tell what we were told
To other tellers. Silence as admission.

pf_mod

from I Have Become Very Hairy

Restless I shall wander about;
hungry for life I'll die.

pf_mod

from Forgetting Someone

But then it is the light that makes you remember.

pf_mod

from Near The Wall Of A House

Love is not the last room: there are others
after it, the whole length of the corridor
that has no end.

pf_mod

from The First Rain

The first rain reminds me
Of the rising summer dust.

from Memorial Day for the War Dead:

No use to weep inside and to scream outside.
Behind all this perhaps some great happiness is hiding.

Posting late because, while I put it up on AO3, I forgot to post here at the right time. D'oh.

Title: Where I Want To Be
Fandom: Tucker's Luck (Grange Hill spin-off)
Author:

starry_starrrz
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Alan Humphries / Christopher 'Creamy' Eames
Summary: Alan learns that growing up is hard to do.
Content Notice: None.
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters or series concept, and (sadly) make no money from writing about them.
Author's Note: Written for the 2012 poetry_fiction fic challenge, inspired by a stanza of poetry by Yehuda Amichai. It made me think of a mentor guiding someone away from making mistakes, the rest kind of built up around it.
The sun thought that Jerusalem was a sea
and set in her: a terrible mistake.
Sky fish were caught in a net of alleys,
tearing one another to pieces.
Word Count: c.8,000
