Whoever designed
that #investiture dress
Really didn’t think it through.
Have you tried to hug?
The hats you must remove.
The brims do stick out,
it’s true.
And don’t even try a kiss,
it would seem like two
ninjas going KABOOM 💥
With absolutely no rhythm
or groove.

#WORD
dangling and unremarkable
the sentence churned
it’s meaning turned
into nonsense particles
by the displacement of its participle
and on from there
on and on it ran and then
unbridled by editorial pen
to afterward
with words lined up like infantry
live with split infinitive
in infamy

Hell of a Job, Donald
I’ve got to hand it to you
You’ve almost pulled it off
Completely gutted humanity
On which MAGA people scoff
They say you’re returning us
To the pinnacle we once held
Not the one who is burning US
Like the Satanic Fires of Hell

I miss you, phantom in my head, stranger in my bed.
There's a vacuum after you left.
Can't get sucked in.
I do my best to keep my mind off you.
Call me #timid, call me shy.
I lose my mind.
Trying to keep up in your footsteps.
A giant's footprint I'm lost in.

the poet seeks comfort
outside the window
of his one room loft
comfort in the laughter
of obstreperous geese
passing past the glass
comfort in the March sunlight
exploring warmly
golden fingers in his hair
at once timid
yet inquisitive
and altogether silent.

street: out to get people
street : armed with hordes of unruly vehicles
each in a preposterous
rush to reach somewhere
do not zone out
stay focused
a murmur says, watch out!
the street will get ya.

In this dream, it was possible to #begin again, she thought with #delight, not like the Rulers with clones & AI, but like Motsé'eóeve did every time he travelled to Bear Butte & came home young again. He did that until he was 446, when he spoke at Devil’s Tower before dying.

Fight for What’s Right
Fight the White Right
For it is all wrong
Fight the White Right
Or we won’t be here long
Fight the White Right
We must remain strong
Fight the White Right
Because we all belong

The only love
That is illicit
Is in the minds of
Those politicians
Who miss it
And must pay
To have someone
Kiss it.

Heart is another Spirt Halloween
The original occupant left
Now it’s temporary strangers
Left empty for most of the year

If something turned the world
the other way
Would things be unearthly
Would day be night
and night be day
Would love burn to ash
and drift away
It would seem that way
If only for a year things went astray
after something turned the world
the other way

The words up dry like an old creek bed, once a flowing stream. I bear with it, stumbling through this desert. Waiting for something to #reinvigorate my muse. Has she left me or is this just a spell of hibernation? I wish I knew.

The man on back of the Dreth spoke.
«We didn’t mean to #conspire against him in secret, but we fear that is the only way to regain our place in the Light»

Too many gummies
made for a #jovial night
until she fell asleep
by the black lab
who was hogging
half the couch
both snoring lightly
under the blanket
she bought from
that wool merchant
in the Scottish isles

#Speaker announced
the fair open
atmosphere full of
romance & flair
near the ocean
drums guitar & band
floor full of stilettos
all eager to dance
held her gaze
charming smile
girdled entourage
mustered enough courage
held my hand bent a knee
whisked her up the stage
#vas365
#stop
#vas365
The clock ticks loud
The hands won’t #stop
Time spins fast
As mountain’s top
Wind whispers low
In fields of wheat
Dancing with leaves
In rhythm sweet
As I stand still
My heart holds tight
Watching the stars
Ignite the night
Moments may fly
Yet love will stay
Never fading
Come what may
Bluebird. A painting by the artist Amy L. Alley at https://www.panpanstudios.com/
Clarity is a bluebird
Whose shock of awe
Matches the word
For cerulean and law
For reciprocity and
Reminds us that not
All beings are beautiful
But we all see beauty
And once had the ability
To learn from what we saw.

be wary of the old librarian
her footprints in the dust
and return date stamped
indelibly but
so easily forgotten
#vas365 #karma #soul
a customer of fate
is to be stable and in control
a thousand suns have risen and set
and far fewer words have touched
the heartstrings
a vision lies hidden inside
and echoes from horizon have tried
to distort the only path that makes
the stars appear more radiant
within
#vas365
Take a #spin
And place your bet
'Pon the table
All regret
Call is set
We play to win
Withdrawal, forget
Now let's begin
Chances thin
Yet still we'll toss
And though we lose
We'll bear the cross
For without loss
There be no gain
The game is over
Let's play again

Not the distance walked
but joy gleaned, crisp air in spring
expanding my lungs

What have I left
in the #dust of my path?
What have I loved
that became it?
What passions and sorrows
became mere motes?
What did I destroy?
Let me name it.
That which was sacred,
tender and true,
that I held most dear.
Honestly?
It was you.

We should have never let them put you in those psychiatric hospitals, your mother and I always thought it would have been better if we had just locked you in the #attic and kept you at home until you came to your senses.

I don’t understand the meaning of #acanth, if it refers to plants which have thorns. I know, it’s I! I am like a rose, its aroma makes others feel good and relaxed.But~! People must get hurt if they think my friendliness and kindness mean coward to them, treating me in an unpleasant way.
