It does not live where I am composed.
Not in the careful sentences, not in the tempered speech.
It lives in the far hemisphere,
in a body I will never touch—
a gangly theropod, disproportionate, wind-bothered,
lifting its unfinished wings
as if the sky had already agreed to it.
The gesture—
unlicensed, uncorrected,
with something in me answering it,
without restraint,
without shame—
unabashed.

Scrupleless without conscience
violence is practiced openly
yet nudity we must hide

Sumika’s fingers touched Arakawa's. It was the slow motion of someone half-asleep. Arakawa-sama, Owl-sama, had ensorcelled her.
In a moment of insanity, I plunged my beak into Sumika’s neck, screaming:
Grain in hand
Snare in the other
A gilded bridle
Sumika’s hand jerked back as red and indigo sparks spat from the sacred #helm. Arakawa-sama’s leveled his fan at me, snapping it open. But something stayed his wrath, and he finished my renga instead:
Crow at dawn
The rooster struts
Stew pot awaits
I didn’t need to analyze that verse. The threat was clear.
An unsustainable silence of suspense fell. #Unabashed, I stared back at his blazing eyes.
I wondered, though, why I wasn’t feathers scattered on the shrine’s floor.

the tall hallways echo
an old man on campus
in unabashed awe
Mr. Butters crashed
overeating, fully smashed
hungry, unabashed

#ScribesAndMakers 3.23 — Do you consider yourself a frood who knows where their towel is? #MastoPrompt #kick
The rock troll kicked the chef out and growled, “Give me my trowel! We have a roast beast tonight.”
“Eek, I’m a frood, sir, not roast beast!”
kicking at my shadow
I stumble across
