I #travel the untrodden roads
and make my own rules
for the swirling design of society
is too intricate to comprehend
victims take pleasure
in victimizing fellow people
I cover my tears of blood
with a mask of indifference
my beauty isn't fragile
it knows self-defense

ALT Screenshot from my Bluesky account: “There’s nobody in there,” Charlie said. “It’s just a mirror.” Portia looked in the small room and turned to the fox, fuming mad. “Then why did we #travel all this way?” “Sometimes the point of going somewhere new,” the fox said, “is to discover which parts of you came along unchanged.” #vss365

the clouds fall inward
stars travel free of the womb
of collapsing dust

Although I am a simple mind, I #travel round in decadence and pleasure towns.

she wanted
to #travel
somewhere
she had never been
at the station
she held two fingers
to her wrist
& felt the small departure
repeated there
all those years
her blood had flowed
through the dark
without asking her
for directions
she thought
of the blue butterfly
she believed
she had swallowed
as a child
how her mother
had listened
to something moving
beneath her ribs
she wondered
how much of what
she had outgrown
was still moving
quietly inside her
when the train arrived
she sensed for a moment
the faint stir of wings

Probably most of you have noticed that I have been much less active of late. Unfortunately work has been incredibly stressful, and I just haven't had the energy to do much else. It looks like there won't be any letup until early Feb. 🙏 I'm hoping. That's not the first time we've been promised a break. I will officially be taking a break staring Nov. 1st, but probably won't be very active in that interim. The writing community is an incredibly warm and supportive - for the most part. 😅 And I shall miss you all.

Bleeding roses taper into night
Shadows #travel through a haunted path
Across weary miles of endless spite
A tragic spirit watches kingdoms fall
—from the lack of warmth
The lonely graves await the dark
And its eternal sleep of sad sorrows—deep

Zero gentle miles
The Old Farmer's Almanac
zenith's elusive 😇
Or
Farmers' Almanac
zenith isn't predicted
miles won't be gentle 😇

our youth
an open prairie
so vastly cast
with possibilities
infinite in square miles
free to roam
tho our mortal
choices made
nary but all
soon taper'd
down to
a tiny place
of single point
plotted out
by destiny
