"Ooh," squeaked #HappyClappyFairy bouncing with #delight. "#Athena is going to be at the bar tonight? Is it a #special occasion? I must ask if I can get a lock of her hair and #frame it..."
#GrumpySwearyFairy sighed. "Another &*$%ing fangirl. She'll be *so* pleased."

but the lessons of childhood
was a scab on the wound of his decision
and now that he is gone remains as a scar
for neither of us stepped forward
and asked why?

i #learned too many years later
that the distance between my father and i
was not the fault of he or i
the fault was on both sides

Teach my dog some #geograpy. U can do that, dontcha?
Cuz I forgot everything I knew about it. Like a fit of dementia.
So when I tried, my lecture nothing more than a draft,
tail wagging excitedly, the pup just laughed & laughed.
Seems, back in school I never paid enuff attentia.

And in that harbour,
history betrayed itself
potted, like lobsters,
constellation of folk who
work the sea for a living.

The water #seethed, with bodies, twisting, writhing shrieks and shouts echoing. Luce looked on from his high vantage point, revelling in the heat and his total power. His gaze sharpened and he lifted the talisman from around his neck to his lips producing a mind piercing tone.
"NO DIVING!"

" #Wings. He's grown wings."
"Yes."
"Not gills and fins."
"No."
"Where did we go wrong?"
"Look. I know how you feel. But he's our son, and we'll love and support him, no matter what. Understood?"
"Yes. Yes, of course, you're right."

Savant
Être savant
c'est profond.
Avoir savoir faire
mais bien connaître
toutes les mystères.
To be "savant"
is profound.
To have know-how
but know well
all the mysteries.
I wrote in French to honour the language of origin.

So much #noise inside my head
Voices screaming way too loud
Even when I climb into my bed
I wear them like a shroud.
But the longer I listen to the chatter
I can filter it and come to see
That only one voice really matters
The one that belongs to me.

"My dear Maya," it spoke, "We have much work to do."
Maya dropped the cat and it hit the floor with a thud and a jingle.
It looked up at her with a smile. "Expecting Mr. Wiggles?"
My nodded her head.
The black cat sighs, "Witches don't get trained over night."

#vss265 #mercury
In Celsius it's 45 degrees
113 Fahrenheit, a German
The Americans use
You can tell how I feel
While the mercury is high
Living men battle to be gods
Our next Mercury
Happy and hermetic
Red faced under red hats
They want winged feet
And the right to decide who dies
Mercurially

A sepia-tinged old photo showing two looming cliffs, with sea or water behind/below them. A rope bridge spans across and the dark figure of a person can be seen standing in the middle.
Don’t Feed the Trolls
To cross the waters, you take the old rope bridge or swim. I advise the former: don’t be alarmed by its appearance, the #nexus of its weave is stronger than you look. Just don’t pause at the middle, and certainly don’t answer any calls of “Who goes there?” #vss265

"Can you #measure up to your worth in a box of snow?" the old master asks. "Surely it would weight more than yourself."
Confused, the apprentice asks, "A box of snow? Why not gold?"
"Gold is too expensive to keep for many travelers like yourself. Most would steal it."

This beat goes on
Louder when you are away
The schism between
All we have and all I want
Is here to stay
This love we have
Finds a way to bleed through
All that we are and all that we'll be
Never satisfies me
But I am here to stay

“They’re only dogs, son.” Laura Miller limps out of the garage. “Nothing to fear, eh. What’s your name again?”
“Armand.”
“Armand. Sounds a bit queer, but no one’s asking me. Met you at that yard sale, didn’t I?”
“Yes ma’am.”
“Yes ma’am. Goddam right, yes ma’am.”

"Home"
Bless this house of sticks and stone
Bless this house that stood all alone
Bless this house now mine to own
Bless this house and its old phone
Bless this house turned into a #home
