I bought the Spanish edition back in the day. What memories, and what great authors of yesterday, today, and future from that time. #Flinch #Vertigo
Always a WONDERFUL SURPRISE when I come upon Jefe Mojo @joerlansdale.bsky.social !!

Raise your hand if u r now triggered by apparently ‘good’ news out of SCOTUS.

New react is ‘how’d that happen? & When will the hidden ‘gotcha’ jump out of the shadow docket to make this ruling a springboard for further disaster?’

On the other hand, Dual Wields and Greatswords feel impactful.
If I quickly cut you with the #DualWields, I expect you to #Flinch.
If I hit you with a freaking huge hunk of metal, you'll definitely #Flinch.
But somehow, if I poke you in the butt or swipe with a #Spear, you can quickly #ShakeItOff.
First page of the poem Distancespeak by C. Oulens Look, I know our stars have lost their #style The enigma of unknown #distance . . . no more You n I like their sons n #daughters once scattered dust seafarers gold-spun now revolving ‘round a same blaze gold-bound on separate tracks on the same plane #flinch . . .the distance-decimated light too bold . . . the distance-through-relativity yet cold 1/2
Page 2 of the poem 2/2 But look, somewhere out there there’s night still . . . a thousand n one light-years . . . of mystical elegance . . . slivers of silence . . . loosely . . . closely held (and a fraction of that . . . of a non-deterministic relevance . . . You n I in style in syzygy on contrary ends of a sun . . . soaking unmeasured warmth in slivers-in-silence constellated on an incomprehensibly cold probabilistic cosmic blackboard . . .) Could distance not remain yet be declared . . . null-n-void . . .
My today’s contribution for #PoemsAbout #SilentPlanets, expanded from a small post written for combined #vss365 ( #style, #flinch) & #2WordPrompt ( #distance + #daughters). Have retained the prompt words here. For

If sounds make you flinch,
maybe you lived around someone
who didn't care you were there -
maybe not intentionally.
Self/awareness can be a curse
particularly
without enough currency.
But it's a curse some better world
would need more than weak
me-to-you
imaginations.

Some people #flinch away.
"It's not nice," they say.
"It can't be that bad," they say.
"It doesn't impact me," they say.
"Someone else will fix it," they say.
To me, it's not so far away
The day
When the tide of destruction
Sweeps them too, away
#vss365
When the fire began
There were ashes in my throat
Photographs of us
Burning
In my lungs
Sadness that raged
Before ebbing,
Pain I didn’t #flinch from;
Lips purged
Of your name’s blueprint
Until the only thing
Remaining
Almost unscathed
Was my heartbeat
Palpitating —
Enough
To begin anew…
#vss365
No tiptoe to
the future—
We run
Can’t #flinch in the face
of tomorrow; never know
what next week brings

Constantly bullied due to his name,
Atticus #Flinch turned to drugs and robbing banks. He was known as The Bicycle Bandit, as he never owned a car. He later opened a pub called Boo Radleys. Delightful place, just be sure to double check your bill.

* very, very loosely based on a true story
If history recalls
That you did not #flinch
It makes a story grand
And will do in a pinch
But grander yet the story
Of the one who #flinched
And shivered, and doubted
And pressed on,
Pummeled but unbent.
#vss365 #writing #poetry
I speak
your name
in silence,
and the walls
echo back
only dust.
Every gesture
of yours
is sunlight,
but I flinch
at the burn
of being
unseen.
My heart
bends itself
into offerings,
while yours
remains locked,
untouched.

The Orange one is on his way
Protestors will be out in force
But he's too thick skinned even to #flinch
He'll simply wave, of course.

"That dress surprisingly fits you well."
And surprisingly, I didn't #flinch.
A backhanded compliment once felt
like a car's backfire to a veteran.
I'm used to it now.
The wound is so old, so sore,
there are no more,
nerves left to fry.
Silent dark, but then
A whistle in the distance
Too afraid to flinch

Superhero
Sr. citizens
Sit
On a bench
Decked out
In costumes—
But in pinch
They’ll prolly #flinch
Flash has got
A bad hip
Off running
Accident
Batman
Lost his tool belt
& where
His gadgets went
Old age is a cascade
Of sadly failing parts
Ask these ailing Supers
Who sit & sigh & fart

A humongous spider
appeared on my chair.
It was hard not to flinch
at its cold, hard stare.
While I considered
if it would attack
the cat sauntered in
and made it a snack.

Like the twitch in the fur on a sleeping cat, it was #calm that made me #flinch. It shuddered across my skin, an anticipation of what was to come. I didn’t know if it would be a looming shadow or ray of light, but there was always something waiting in the periphery of stillness.

no flinch from rhino
oxpecker drops on its back

Pic of mine. On a recent hike, I noticed movement from a tower - like undulating waves. I looked closer and couldn't believe it: vultures perched atop a cellular radio tower
