#progenitors
of my lineage
am I made
in your image
or am I
the author
of this man
so damaged

with
your baggage
am I going down
on this voyage
or is
being drowned
some sorta
right of passage

is this life a gift
or a gift dipped
in cancers

all questions
even DNA #gurus
can’t answer

‘What are they, Fred?’
Lis pointed to 2 small green lizards with tiny wings in an aquarium.
‘They’re #progenitors of teacup dragons. I’ll make a fortune.’
A flame spurted from a lizard’s mouth, the glass broke & the pair flew around the room as Fred tried to catch them.

Faces of the past
Bonds that were soon
Snapped loose from
The bloodline;
#Progenitors still breathing
In strands of DNA
In stories
Around campfires
And in the voices
Of a thousand children
Carrying their own flame
Into the dark
Instead of living
In ancestral shadows
Tangled around their feet
#vss365

I want him to live
A life like his #progenitors
With all the sweet
Dilute the bitter
School bag full of books
Stories at night
On holidays
Pie and presents and old cartoons
As seasons pass, and so do elders
Sights I can't picture
Joys I can't fathom
A radiant bloom
Thriving in my ashes #vss365

“Should the sins of the fathers be passed down to their sons? Should the evil deeds of our #progenitors be hung around our necks and bind us in chains so that we are so fettered that we can’t move forward freely into a new day?”

All the black people just laughed.

"You should not be chasing leads about the #Progenitors around the galaxy."

"Why not?"

"First of all, they're a legend."

"Legends come from somewhere."

"Second, it's insane."

"It's my life."

"Fine. But finally, what if you do find them?"

Scott Christopher Beebe @Poetryin13 on Twitter(X) saying “Rest in Peace, Scott”

Summer’s #realm reminds us of our losing two brilliant Souls @DawnHosmer7 & @Poetryin13
(Scott Christopher Beebe) who were & will always be #progenitors of #vss365.

Like you, they were some of my closest friends & inspirations.

#RIPDawn🕯️
#RIPScott🕯️

We love and miss you…

We may be shaped
by our #progenitors

but they do not define us.
Break the cycle--

We are not our mothers.
We are not our fathers--
We are our own.

I can’t honor my #progenitors.
There was rot
in the roots
of the family tree;
but I’ve branched off,
and feel they are
no more a part of me.
For I’ve become
who I am
despite from
whence I came
a sapling
grown anew
I’ve chosen
my own name.

In the darkness, we forage for any scraps. Our numbers continue to grow in spite of the scarcity of crumbs they leave. Despite the continued assaults. Poisons, physical assaults, nothing will stop our existence. When they are gone, we will still be. We are the #progenitors. Us cockroaches.
#vss365

My #progenitors
live in ambivalence,
my creation a distraction,
a consternation,
in their self-circled lives-

Sometimes, the tone, the look
of utter disappointment is
so dense that being,
is a chocolate torte-

This daughter, your daughter!

no matter, move on.

I may not have the #strength to move #mountains for you but I could use my #mechanical engineering degree & make something that could.
It’s time we made a family, not some mechanical gizmo. We’re #progenitors. We do the making. C’mon, #babe. The bed is ready.

I can look back fondly
on my #progenitors
because I was not there
to hear the things they said

Vampire bro got a call from the Space Guard. Their orbs detected an occurrence of rapidly approaching magical energy. It turned out to be a a member of a race called the #progenitors. They claimed to have created all magical life on earth. Bro said "Who wouldn't want to reproduce with him?" #vss365

Julius felt his brain shutting off. The sight of the twelve eldrich beings was already bending the reality and mental health but if they had #progenitors, the thought was just too much for him. Spiridon took a big gulp and smiled, “And you believed all that?” #vss365

To look back on the art of the past is to drown in understanding. Kimba begat The Lion King and Hamlet begat Kimba. Gundam begat yaoi and probably something else begat Gundam. Akira and Ryo were the #progenitors of Shinji and Kaworu. It's like hearing the family lore from your grandmother. #vss365

Pt155 One of her #progenitors had been Mississippi Choctaw when the Mars expedition exploded. He was one of rebuilders of Chukalissa. Dawn knew everyone would #whisper about this as news of their arrival spread. Her mother, of Tsalagi descent, gave them clan kin, though—Paint.

“And,” I said, “the Nameless One granted the Alates the supreme privilege of producing the fortress’s #progenitors. Furthermore, we were especially favored by the Highest Mother with superior intelligence.”
“Were you? I have doubted that at times.”

I wonder if the #progenitors of this Victorian shagger
Have read his diary?

Victorians weren't the prudes
They're widely believed to have been

This fellow later did it 'lustily' on the couch
The wife's opinion of his prowess
No one can vouch

Your ancestors would be displeased.
- My ancestors would fall at my knees.
You arrogant pup! You insolent whelp!
- Watch your tongue old man, I'll send you to hell.
Arm thyself! Bow to your mentor!
- I'm more than the sum of my #progenitors

Green Burial

She wakes not knowing what, or when. She refuses to do anything about it and leaves her phone in the car while she finds and marks a new grave among the native plantings. No cultivars allowed here, only #progenitors that still make pollen, the fruits to feed future generations. #vss365

#poem #vss365 #progenitors

the tight grains
of #progenitors
have shaped her flesh

their murmurs flutter
through her blood
at times making her bend
beneath their multitude

yet summer warmth
rings out
rekindling pulse
raising sandy dreams
touching her
beyond the skin
hoping the day
never shortens

“Hey,” said Jin. “Bet you come from a long line of #progenitors who just popped babies out.” He stopped smiling. “But it doesn’t matter how. I only want a healthy Ari and healthy son.”
“What if your son has other ideas?”
“How could he not want to meet his parents?” #vss365

#Cosmology

The is how our #progenitors
created the universe:
Put some rock candy
into a cup, pour tea
over it, add milk
(counterclockwise),
but don't stir.

The white streaks are called
"the Milky Way".

#BlueSkyRelay #vss365

Somebody seems to be still cross that nobody came to his parade.
The man who's going to stop the Russia/Ukraine war in 24 hours, and not involve his country in any wars.
I wonder if all his #progenitors had such equally gossamer thin skin.
