Convalescing... A pair of foxes are indoors. A larger fox is sleeping, taking up the whole loveseat before a monitor screen. The other fox looks none too pleased with this.

That you #admired her
Leaves me #bemused.
That you two were #passionate
Feels #unbearable.
That you weren’t #cautious
Makes me feel #scared.
My future looks #hard
#Nervousness sets in.

At midnight she wakes— her perfect time—to creep barefoot along the soft path to her beloved shore. High tides sing their crescendo, an operatic offering for mother moon, a lullaby to the multitude of abyssal creatures. It leaves her bemused, but not bewildered, as she deciphers the music of this living, breathing Earth. - M.A. Rivoire

Poem by @whispers615 that reads: What consolation can be offered to a bemused, befuddled girl who unknowingly split from the right path, met a dead end down the rabbit hole and stretched herself so big and so small, that even her own artificial intelligence became confused and lost in a world all her own? I suppose nothing. Just leave her to sing in her patch of daisies..

The queen sits upon her throne
Expressionless, waiting
A bishop kneels at her feet
His request: deference
#Bemused, she considers
But takes his head
As check mate is nigh
After his dispatching
She takes delight
And the king surrenders his crown

the consolations of division what leans on me is the split-- the slow, steady divide between the me of you that drives rain sideways, that sends train whistles straight down spines, that turns the whole body electric, that leaves me bemused by how clean the hurt can be-- as if the instruction manual for your old kettle was equipment for living. maybe that’s what a break reveals-- where the heat escaped, where the lie lived, where to stop holding on.

I'd rather readers be #amused than #bemused, though the bemusing amuses me. If you're confused, I'm bemused. If bemused, I'm amused. If amused, we've arrived. It would be beneath me to admit I misdirect deliberately. It is not beneath me to do it.

the #patch over the #chip
is no #consolation
It is a #token gesture
to repair a #split #system
that will never be whole again
I am #bemused that
you think this is
adequate recompense

eyes locked in.

Magnetic.

A playful half-smile
soft and sly,
teasing his lips.
What did I do
to elicit from him
an air so #bemused?

'Subrisus'

Across the way
he lingers,
languidly,
folding into the armchair.

The black folds
of his coat
curl and reach,
an ardent embrace.

His head tips back,
slightly,
easing to the side -

#bemused—
not sure where to begin,
i split—
split,
a thousand times split—
how i l o s e breath
to let go,
to arc against wind,
to trust the sky—

to break the heart, and it’s always
the heart,
the fluttering slip of life
that wrecks me.

I bought him that plaque in '73
it still hangs in the shed
as #consolation to me
but that message e'er rings true
may be #bemused when I read it to you

Baffle 'Em With Bullshit"

Words that
don’t mean anything
from an uncharted world
leave us bemused,
like a conversation
in some wild dream
in which nothing connects
or makes any sense.

The cards split, tokens careening to the floor, emblematic of what the system tore. I can’t fit anymore: this house, its chains of consolation, its bemused misgivings of conflagration. The facade, hiding behind the face of confiding while the colossal interruption of deception pokes holes in my reception. Fire cleanses before destruction, but in the midst of that reduction, it just burns. I just yearn. And fortunes grown thin when nothing can win. While the fire tears through all I hoped was you.

Sick of being sweet.
I'm not #bemused.
Take a sip of coffee from your cup.
Can you stomach it?

Acidic bile.
Stay here for awhile.
Burnt a hole.
No sugar for you.
It all burns the same anyway.

Memory as an afterthought I can't recall the 'why's of it all But Damn I knew I knew you The specific when, is gone again But I know where the when had begun I am not sure how you flipped all these pages But I still know that I paid those wages Things are a bit fuzzy And The details get muddy But I see the days, not the dates So Tomorrow is unclear, To this imperfect seer. Why shouldn't yesterday, Be remembered the same? It all may be gone, Like a B-side song, But my consolation is I will still sing it with all the wrong names.

Imperfect memories, imperfect rhythm and rhymes. It says what I need it to, I just forget what it was I needed it to say

Dear Santa, pumpkin
pie in place of milk, cookies
we’re also #bemused 🤷‍♀️

#emoetry #senryu

I sit, #bemused
as the elders shout
and scream at
kids nowadays
they forget
that we used to be
their age.

His advances have me #bemused
So with them I do not a thing-
Though they leave me aroused,
All they’ll be is a song I’ll sing.

Old and bemused,
Dazed and confused,
I am.

A broken world,
Hell unfurled,
It is.

What use anger,
With all in danger,
From usself?

Bemused, at first, then
astonished at the quiet
power of haiku

Youthful hope
a beautiful #rose,
'til the thorns bed in

you learn
to build a #house
around yourself
of chains & ropes,
to stop the #cactus spikes
from reaching

yet, it proves poor
#consolation—
keeping the joy
out too

in the #end,
#bemused to find
yourself alone
in a house
of your own making.

Bitterly bemused
To see such pandering, such
Licking of arses.

Old past juxtaposed on now
