Over the cauldron, she keeps a constant #vigil. Basilcum, allium, lycopersicum, oleum. A low flame; stir counter-clockwise. The mixture foams and #seethes — keep stirring! Don't let anger burn.
Thick as blood? Let's taste.
Strega Nona licks the spoon and smiles. Marinara, ready for market. #vss365
The soul #seethes
with allergens
and eclipses.
Chemicals are #caged
then set free
then caged once more.
The desperation
of being okay
becomes a rope,
tightening until
cold colors converge.
Apologies are tiresome
but they fly
like harbingers.

They pulse
They throb
They writhe
They weave
In truth
Their skies
Smile to
Deceive
They dance
With joy
All while
They grieve
Molten flows
The mother #seethes

“I have one observation but I fear it might send your friend into a fury.” Peck says and I sit silent, observing him and say. “No, he is spent, he #seethes still but his eyes are drooping.” Peck nods and says, “Very well, why do you always want to sit there?” #vss365
Ash catches in her hands
like voices from the past
haunting her hazel eyes.
“All is gone,
all but a smile.
Maybe it’ll feel good
to plant myself in the dirt
for a while.”
She tells whatever is listening
on this melancholic ground.
& in the flowers she #seethes,
listening to widows weep
#vss365
Fallen valor,
the stakes have
become too grave.
Desperation sets in,
adrenaline #seethes.
The moment has
finally come to this.
A breath, then exhale.
The tipping point
has passed, time
for healing at last.
