I'm so sorry you lost your friend John, so young, such a tragedy. Your beautiful and philosophical piece is a fine tribute. 💜

I didn't mean to fall out of bed after sex
but don't worry, it'll probably happen again.

Call it applause, call it a compliment,
call me whatever name you like, call me back.

The early stages of falling for each other,  
pushing and pulling against unseen forces

until the resistance collapses and
hearts accelerate at 9.8m/s².

Along my equator I grow hungry and
weaker for the sight of you standing to wash 

offering me a hand to help me up 
that I decline, because I like the view.

This is how we communicate, bodies in heat
reaching pinnacle velocity, then cooling 

grounded in the fact that we are not one soul, 
but two separate entities orbiting the truth

that we may collide but never reach understanding 
of one another, or of love for that matter, 

but that goes without saying, 
down here on the floor.

#Writing #poetry at dawn before I can will myself out of bed to get coffee, or type the #poem I actually meant to write for this initially. This was fun though, a funny memory with hidden weight, if you will. Enjoy 🤗

Oh I love this - what an opening line! Such an excellent depiction of sex and (maybe) falling in love - so hard to do without cliché. 💫

Grey and white both with the words of a micropoem:

                           Plaint of the Young


Can we unfurl now please?
Can the sky blue up,
can the battering madness of rain relent?

Orange box with black shading and a poem in black letters:


                               above ground

the ground is
cracked and desert dry
or lush with
grass green as jealousy
or all the other grounds
there are – 
I no longer
know them with
my feet
since gravity stopped
working 
one day of
overwhelm – 
and now I hover
with no anchoring
with no saying whether
I am happier
here

🛑 NI BOMBES, NI BARILS
Les bombes américaines et israéliennes détruisent des vies, des foyers et des avenirs, le FMI vient d'alerter sur le risque d'une récession mondiale.

Alors que des millions de personnes souffrent, les géants des énergies fossiles profitent du chaos pour s’enrichir. ⛽💸
