Unaligned, resigned, a sign

I Miss The Ordinariness Of Audio Calls All mine seem by FaceTime, which generally is fine, though there are occasions when I wish to only half-engage: nod through sentences like a shepherd auditing sheep; converse whilst my mothy-eyes are fluttering elsewhere, stumbling their air-steps; just a word-dust for the line. This sounds ruder than it really is: attention being a cake, one always best served in slices.

Hullo @ajdeane.bsky.social and to #specprompt #cake

A little piece of whimsy…

Scattered (Near Fowey) A simple rowing boat, oars crimping the flatness of a thoughtless sea while only the sky’s dwarfing prayerfulness can upend or capsize, you coddle those ashes, warm and dark, with hopeless urgency as if a carried bird, and pouring out your sister-dust, a pearly cloud of memory is raining.

Hullo #specprompt and to @ajdeane.bsky.social Here’s something #smuggler -ish. First in East Ridge Review. (This is my first ever spec prompt, so do holler if I’ve bust any rules here!)

More faces than Morph,
Underling of Apocalypse,
The face of Onslaught,
Antagonistic Legion,
Now we need X-men,
The children of the atom.

Staff, cultists swarm in fervour
