when viewing #Mars,
the sky grows larger

we unlearn language,
sensing only color,
time and distance

red dawn, masked
by a lifting pink fog
there, there, #Mars!

At twilight, #Mars rises behind the pines, pale and improbable.

I feel it speak to me, not in words but in gravity - a language of pulling, of gentle insistence.

I answer with stillness, and by opening to its call.

night, and #Mars is
reflected in a pond,
rippling its red secrets

I toss an asteroid-like pebble,
hit it squarely, and watch
the circles spread

for a moment, I feel like
I am something more
than human

In my dream the #air was awake, a living creature lying beside my body. Its breath moved through the curtains, slow and tidal.

I turned to it speaking of puzzlement and a need for clarity. The air replied with a gust that woke me.

tonight,
the #air hangs heavy
whispering secrets
in the language
of night

a “good kind of ache, like the feeling you get on the first real day of autumn, when the #air is crisp and the leaves are flaring at the edges and the wind smells just vaguely of smoke - like the end and the beginning of something all at once.”

Ships moving in and out, gulls shrieking, dockworkers laughing and cursing, salt-infused #air rising from the waves - all of these, and more, fusing into a harbor opera of coming and going.

Infatuation is a balloon that
keeps getting filled with #air
until it pops.

Right now the wind-chimes are listening to the #air. That sound they make, it's the sound of their listening.

we make a dwelling in the
evening #air

in which being there together
is enough

#Air hides in pockets of forgotten hats.

I put one on today and smelled last year’s laughter, faint but intact.

Some things never leave entirely - like the memory of that passing stranger who might’ve been me in another life.

At Dada Beach, there’s no #struggle.

We stroll along the sand at a right angle to common sense, casting long shadows that don’t know, and don’t care, which way is down.

In our #struggle, hope is neither cure nor weapon - it is rain in a time of drought.

O laughter buried in lament,
rise unashamed!

Between grief and grace lies only the rhythm of persistence, chanting its blind hallelujah.

There’s a lot of drama in the
word #struggle.

If your post expresses this
drama, it runs the risk of
seeming overblown.

If your post avoids this drama,
it might well appear fluffy and
trite.

I #struggle with facial symmetry. Cosmetic surgery helps, but it is really expensive.

Does love #survive?

Yes, always.

But sometimes, it survives the way
a scar survives the knife.

Even when it suffers beautifully,
it refuses to die.

I once met dawn limping across the horizon, bleeding soft gold.

“Long night?” I asked. “Too long,” it said.

Still, it #survives - dragging morning light behind it.

My favorite Christmas symbol is the angel sounding a trumpet.

It’s my favorite because I feel it, and what I’m feeling is the urge to proclaim or express.

I think that’s something we all share, and do, here on Bluesky - through our #Poetry #Photography #Painting and #Music

maybe
this is Christmas:

we all, #surviving
another year,

carry the hopeful light,
as best we can,

into the uncertain next

Almost midnight, the laundromat pulses and throbs like a heartbeat.

Socks spin in their small galaxies, shirts shimmy and shake.

I #survive, inspired by the motion and music of the machinery - proof that even the stained and wrinkled can become bright again.

Close your eyes. See yourself moving inward – deeper, faster, and deeper and faster still. Until you reach the subatomic level.

Here, you #shoot past protons and spin around circling electrons.

Eventually, you may find
The Un-Nameable that
links us all, to each other,
to everything.

“#Shoot me a sign,“ I tell the sky, and a cloud cracks open, spilling confetti rain.

I dance in it until I shake off the funk I’m in.

Someone watching might think I’m lost, but I’m practicing the language of whatever comes next.

Bring it on!
