Temporal Sorcery

I done some time traveling in my time. Been getting premonitions since I was at the beginning and gone right to the end more than a few times. Memory is a soup and now is maybe a crouton or little cube of ham. You can quote me on that please do it’ll be funny.

Tried going to a psych recently but how do you talk about sorcery with someone who is mainly just quiet and then asks “how do you feel”? Answer is you have a panic attack and then irish shuffle back to your crazy little hole.

Maybe the page is the only way to get that stuff out. Also God but that’s between me and capital Him. Innernet is full of crazies like me so someone’s bound to be empathising. Universe is a big scary place but we are big scary people so we are in good company. Do your crazy person tinfoil hat rituals, take your meds, have one too many beers with a good friend who knows to much about you and go easy on yourself because you’re trying. That’s my advice as an official magic user. Here’s a poem about time travel:

Our dark before the dawn

 

Let’s make a fold

From now to then

Let’s rip a hole in time

And dig ourselves a tunnel

Clawing and squeezing and gasping

And let the light from tomorrow

Shine through

To our dark before the dawn

Let’s hear ourselves

Grey-bearded and world beaten

Talk to us kind and wise

And tell us

Everything will be fine

As long as we love and hold true

We’ll feel the warmth of a distant sun

Stolen or borrowed from our future

Because we need it now

When the winter is coldest

When our faith is trampled

When the things are hard

We will take a breath

From lungs that aren’t ours yet

Of air strained clean of our hurt

And maybe this is the only way

To become our future selves

Grasp them now

And be dragged in their wake

To tomorrow
