countless trees reached to a blushing sky offering condolences for the #wound of man what had become of her earthly charge tears fell wistfully while she remembered songs from a joyous #nest instead of death knells wrought by the cuckoos who infected it #vss365 #emoetry #wistful #wildwalkprompt

#unmoored in the aftershock our tethers severed lost on memory lane #emboldened by strangers we are so many wading through the #rot smoke and broken mirrors shackle and noose loosed upon the masses searching for purchase on slick, steel barrels #vss365 #emoetry #wildwalkprompt

a.d.Dec 31

with one fire dwindling like a #dream, up in smoke another smoulders #peace in a tinderbox rage fueled by the innocent while #casual hands wring warming on the flagration their charges mould building bricks from calcine and memories #vss365 #whistpr #emoetry

In days of yore,
We marked the passing
Of seasons & years.

𝓢𝓸𝓵𝓼𝓽𝓲𝓬𝓮 𝓪𝓷𝓭 𝓨𝓾𝓵𝓮𝓽𝓲𝓭𝓮.

Then Christians came,
And Yuletide became Christ's mass.

Finally, Coca-cola & Disney,
To monetise our celebrations.
Santa redressed in red. 🤑

So
Russian soldiers
(In reality a horde)
Executed a couple more
Defenceless
POWs from Ukraine
Two superb men
For no reason
And the wife of Chornobyl's
First death from radiation
Died in a Russian bomb's
Explosion
In Kyiv
Ukrainians don't even know
Or care
If they're being victimised
They are just busy
Trying to stay alive

synesthesia born of violences blues in asphyxia choking on words poisoned w/ #purple haunted memories reds of lead & pooling apologies eyes blinded by #rays of black under pains of torture & existence scars are records & confessions life often #defeated but not yet dead #vss365 #whistpr #emoetry

'Something Somebody doesn't live here anymore'
more than a name at any address it was a liberated being
i knew them as Mr Somebody but others mentioned Ms. to Profs.
in bars
Something had been talking or Something had somebody
the postman left
he had something for ....

swans and bouys

pair of swans pass distantly on a trail
legs and tails move slowly
sun sets over hills nearby
our time goes by silently

waiting, two babies beaming crossed off days
mother's kiss another fling
the stuffed bear is air soaring
to the sound of stereo mawing
