This #draught_of_giants
has cut the mighty down low:
the Achilles' heel
minor wound from an arrow
the burning poison within.

Passion stings,
inflames the senses,
its suffocating
weight bears down
like an antediluvian
torrent.Don't wish for it.
In torment, it will
plunder your heart,
logic cannot save you,
a #draught_of_giants
can't ressurect it,
as it lies moribound
on the pavement.

I haven't posted on Masto lately as I'm crazy busy with a time-consuming project. Hope you are well.

‘Um …’

‘It’ll be the giants who live over the way having their after lunch snoozes.’

‘Eh?’

‘The fat family who always have Just Eat delivering.’

‘That’s rude. It’s just a nice breeze.’

‘I can smell onions.’

“Marketing still use him?” asked Ava’s colleague.
“Couriers won the contract. Their HR don’t see a problem,” said Ava.
“They won’t use another person?”
“Won’t juggle delivery areas & rotas.” Ava saw a frown, a mouth open & close. “You’ve supped the #draught_of_giants.” #vss365

I feel the Spring breeze
breathe like a draught of giants
Spirit into me
