QoppiShadowDweller_0_Lobbies_1_LampLighter= The Shadow Dweller Envies the Lamplighter
When the Fog is Cold in the Dead of Night

shadows1= The shadow dweller envies the lamplighter when the fog is cold in the dead of night.
The lamplighter knows not the beauty of the warmth they bestow.
They have not felt the misty dew condensate within their pores.
The dweller, they yearn to bathe in the lamp's glow for just a single moment.
Just a moment would surely sustain them for years to come, they do not ask for more.
But the lamplighter, the avaricious wretch that they are, will not spare even a second for them.


shadows2= Why then does the dweller not simply leave the shadows and embrace the light on their own?
Well, because they are a shadow dweller of course.

QoppiShadowDweller_1_LampLighter_sentio_swamp= The Swamp
QoppiShadowDweller_1_LampLighter_sentio_crayon= Crayon

qoppi_swamp1= my body is one i have been renting since birth
i do not own it, not yet
i am in a swamp
murky, a putrid green with ferns and vines
qoppi_swamp2= i struggle to take a single step
how easy it would be to just lie back
allow myself to slowly sink
deeper
and deeper
and deeper into the muck
until my lungs fill with bile and mud
and i am free from this noxious odor and slimy grime
qoppi_swamp3= but far in the distance
there is a light
a place without blankets of grey clouds and weeping canopies
where the sunlight dances to an unbound rhythm
lush green grass wavers in the wind and flowers bloom in every hue
qoppi_swamp4= and in that field i see myself
my actual self
not this loaner vessel i have now
they dance with the sunlight
and their gaze shines with every floral tone
qoppi_swamp5= if only i can make it through this swamp
one step at a time
one slow marshy step at a time
i can join myself in the field
bathe in the sky's life-giving glow
and my two selves can finally become one
as it was always meant to be

qoppi_crayon= i quite enjoy drawing in crayon
perhaps it is because of the way the colors blend when put on top of one another
it creates an ombré that isn't possible with paints or markers
with those they just muddle together and leave an ugly brown-ish spot
or
perhaps it is because of how it reminds me of the childhood i have left behind
a time when everything was so easy
i was not as afraid of breaking
despite being so much more fragile
or
perhaps it is because of the texture it leaves behind on the paper
it feels so much more real than drawing normally
the little wisps of wax left behind in the spots where i applied a bit too much pressure
the subtle unevenness that it has
not enough to be obtrusive
but enough to make it feel unique
or
perhaps i just do
and there does not need to be an explanation
