Here's my contribution for this week's #PoetsOfDoom #AmpersandAfterDark 013
(note, my Japanese is rusty so if this needs correction, please be respectful.)
Omokage, the demon from my dreams and my past.

...now to see if I can blend it with today's #PoetsOfDoom prompt.
Hello #PoetsOfDoom people.

I can't wait to see what you do ❤️
#PoetsOfDoom
This week it is my turn to set the prompt!
I want you to write a piece about a creature that doesn't exist!
I want the strange, the mythical, cryptozoological, let your imagination run wild... ical...

in the valley of our disaster i wait like an animal before it knows what it is looking for before the human catches up with the body before the heat enters the flesh i like how long it takes for something that looks like the truth to arrive the quiet recalibration between being and knowing in that space i like myself best coherent illusive still intact until something with teeth opens within me

A Haibun On Comforting Things Bluebells and whistles and fine, trimmed down nettles. Sleeping magnolias and a hundred dahlias. Peppers and crawlers and some other things. These things are some of my comforting things. Whatever may happen persevere I'll ever, things that don't matter they'll never be my weather. The highlights of my day all in these things, I'll comfort myself with my favorite things... When the bugs bite, or when bees sting, or when I'm feeling down. I'll simply tender to my favorite things, and I know I will be alright. Dogs, they sometimes bite Days when I'll feel sad, I know I will be alright.
My second entry for #PoetsOfDoom, my latest entry for #WildWalkPrompt, #Cassiopeian.
More of my favorite things that exist in nature.

I like the tickle of moss under my palm cold stream water gasping at my feet the clack of pewter pebbles prised from the cold beach wind seizing my ribs the underside of birds flashing their pale bellies
a kite dragging its blue argument through the sky laundered sheets snapping on the line marigolds squeaking against plates hung to dry yellow udders dripping I like waiting for the hiss before the needle lets me in

I like
fresh juice in the morning
I like
bone crushing hugs
I like
your eyes talking of
forest ponds
I like
your mouth keeping
deep quiet between
fleeting kisses
I like
the hollow under
your long neck
I like
watching you rise
watching you sleep
our laughter in the rain

I like fizzy water, the anarchist of beverages, hissing at me like it’s got opinions. I like my cats, tiny domestic rent-dodging tyrants who file complaints with their eyes and still expect treats for their apathy. I like big comfy striped jumpers that make me look like a disgraced sheep hiding from the bumblebee committee. I like seaside towns where everything smells of salt and nostalgia and chips and firewood and childhood. I like chips in the paper, grease maps of a country that doesn’t exist but absolutely should.
I like twinkling eyes, the kind that wink I know something you don’t and dare you to ask. I like pointy teeth because symmetry is a scam and a little menace keeps the universe alert. I like being warm in my car on cold rainy days, engine humming like a bored dragon, windows fogging, the weather trying to lick its way in. I like… the chaos of liking things. It’s messy. It’s loud. It refuses to sit still. And honestly, so do I.

I like little
The word
A lot
I like little a lot
Probably my most commonly used word
I use little a lot
Which is odd
I dislike words repeated in books
But for me that little rule doesn't matter
Apart from that I'm happy
Unless we count contentment
I tend to stir strife

Welcome to Beth.
Context for "slimming" - in the last few years I've gone from obese to overweight. Not looking for praise (you can though) just explaining.

I went a little off piste,
The list of thinks I like changes so much from day to day and either it would be a very small list, or a ridiculously long one, so I compromised...

storytellers her eyes were a question mark, her mouth a semi-colon. every kiss said, this is not over yet. this is a myth i’ll continue to tell even when no one else believes in it. around the harvest fires with my throat bound with incense and antlered vows. they think me insane because they cannot hear the fables the foxes and wrens sing into my ear when the night sky hums and augurs its moonstruck prophecies. in spit-verse and split lip, cracked tooth and tongue to the sacred beat of rugged breaths, in lingering twilight sighs. every sinew you touch pulsates like a harp: every legend we speak could birth a splinter of truth if you just dream it harder, lamb a gospel and a god. for the rest of my life i’ll put you at the end of every sentence only to add another one behind it: always, one more poem.

Icy mornings, hot coffee,
Laughter on a sunny day,
Impish impulses, being free,
Kisses, hugs, chicken dishes,
Evening dreams, granted wishes.
