Come away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.
For he comes, the human child,
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world's more full of weeping than he can understand.
Navita, a line is protruding from your chest, spanning the globe from heavens to dirt, into hell, and to Mother Goose tales read to children from TV screens when mother and father are too busy scrounging for unemployment benefits.
Navita is this your name? I take you as a genuine flask of bourbon and champagne, an old friend always willing to go forward to the next page and not regret a change. I call you a fairy, and I see you a fairy, and I wonder what your voice sounds like; can you shatter glass?
Navita I'm not singing to you now, just writing to you while sitting in a Grimms Fairy Tale's class, writing you a love letter from yourself given to the world in poetry; a love letter? Words are so misleading, much less bothering with reason.
Navita, an amusing conversation and stimulating tribulations are at hand and discussions provoke a gag reflex as children file onto a bus; do you prefer meaning or imagery with your tea?
Navita I don't like your voice either, it's too bothered with things that don't matter; declarations statements, but where is your life Navita?
Navita give yourself up to meaning; stop analyzing. Yeats is crying for the human child, Yeats is dying for the human child, Yeats was writing for you Navita, and you will never find out why.
Navita the people thirst for you like Ambrosia and heroine, and I don't certainly know much beyond your devotion and passion and intense study, but that's superficial, as the view of Gender Interpretations of Bluebeard and Cinderella; osh by gosh darling, literature can be damningly annoying to talk about forever, and ever, and ever.
Navita there are no interesting or suiting literary devices for literature; it's drunk with itself and picking its own nose and pretending it somehow relates to the common man.
Navita I want to break your bones and crack your skull and take your fairy wings and drop you on the street and see where you wonder and where you go, and watch you work and watch you fail; I am not grisly Navita, I am not Mustard, I am the meaning you cannot understand wishing you to see the world as I see.
Navita do you ever watch the ocean for hours on end and feel perplexed as to why you exist, a giant laundry machine washing laundry we can never sort through?
Navita thank god you're not in the Ivory Tower, but mon amie I feel I'm watching from the canyon side as you walk across the water and don't realize it's lovely to be crushed under pressure.
Navita, where is the journey if you've never gotten off the horse, never asked the horse its name, never wondered if everything written doesn't mean what it says? The line is cracking Navita, let it break.
