my watery friend... are you too brushed with the pattern of the dappled light...?

I always default to the body as a metaphor for love
For the love I have always know has purely been body
I found it was a perfect description of love
And that is not entirely wrong
But its true in ways I have only recently discovered
The body is a beautiful place
All the parts working to stay alive
The marks of others burn like brands, the showings of my submittance
Yours are a reflection that my body is strong, marks I look at and smile from the memory
I wake up from nightmares that were the sounds of their footsteps
You lure me asleep through your heartbeat
I try and connect what I though was love and what love actually is
I cant
They are such separate entities
You are the dark humor, beautiful souled, complex, warm, wonderful person I’ve fallen for
Each future plan I can imagine has you in it
Even each step in my walk
You are in it
In my mind
What a place to be in
I love you more than words even have the capability of expressing
Each sunrise is a reminder that we are here
Human
Alive
Breathing
You have taught be to be grateful for that
So love
Lets make it to sunrise together, in fact
Let’s make it for so so many more
i get that miles being sheltered to punk culture/ideas is an easy assumption, considering his parents' attitude towards gwen, but like. i really really want to pose to you all miles morales the graffiti artist, who's incredibly aware that his dad wouldn't defend him if he was arrested, but still believes in and makes public art. miles morales the black scholarship kid at a predominantly white school that treats him in equal turns like a snowflake, a loose cannon and a charity case, who in one of the novels gets suspended for calling out & starting a protest against his racist history teacher. miles morales who in that same novel gave his own cash to a pickpocket he had to stop after giving him a chance to surrender. miles morales who keeps getting told to shut up & back down but doesn't, even if it's "for his own good". miles morales who after being told he'd never fit into a system that should've helped him said "then fuck your system" and electrocuted the leader.
miles morales might not be punk aesthetically, but he gets it. he gets it more than a lot of so-called "punks" do.
Something I need to be reminded of often. Yes, I'm very lazy and also have executive problems up the wazoo (the difference? laziness is fun), but the cultural expectation of being productive every waking moment isn't healthy either. And the business of feeding ourselves is especially fraught these days.
