as I cross the #lacuna at 4am
I see that joker Shem
he needs 6 C batteries
4 the keyboard
he keeps wi' him
I steal a mag light off a floorboard
seen Early acrost the parkin' lot, he had 2 more
we went to the graveyard
& sang Jerry Lee Lewis songs

when her gentle heart
is hurting
the sadness quietly leaks out
concealed within her tears
but her hope lives on
filling the liminal lacuna
residing within her beautiful soul
with poetic words & aspirations
of him
for him
& a wondrous love
that could never be

What do #constellations
look like
from across the lacuna?
Are they a mirror image
for other life forms far out
and beyond the limits of our comprehension?
Does our Earth also
get mistaken as star,
curious eyes surprised
to learn it is actually
a bright planet?

Jeff stayed until the Redcloaks left, then stared a moment at the #lacuna their absence left behind. He wasn't sure why the Librarian wanted him to see this, but there must have been a reason. It was a shame he couldn't go back and ask him about it as Fugitive Number One. #vss365

Neville had called in 'sick' again. Jess shrugs, shovels more dead kids into the spaceship's furnace. At least the #lacuna #shift pays overtime. Still, helluva way to make a living.

An almond-shaped space,
a lacuna—connects narrow
tunnels called canaliculi—
within the now calcified
bone-surface matrix,
housing osteocytes
for nutrient exchange
and mechnosensation
per lamellae equation
—fit in a valentine's
❤️-shaped box.

Moving forward.
The mission is done,
the walking is aimless.
Can't go back,
can't see the path forward.
Stuck in a purgatory,
an interim disguised as
meaninglessness,
masked in emptiness.
Take the next step anyway.
Worst that can happen?
You trip and break
your
neck.

Grazhna pondered the sleeping Elyndra. The half-elf murmured something unintelligible, rolling, her silver hair fanning out into a halo of moonlight.
Her Brightmoon.
The she-orc felt gooseflesh raise. Her heart's unacknowledged #lacuna, she realized, was full to bursting.

The question repeated itself
cause the initial response given
did not pass the stink test
So another chance was given
to fill in the #lacuna chasm
between fact and fiction
though the fairy tale existence
is far more interesting

As a long-time “Wired Al” Yankovic devotee, imagine my disappointment when I learned “Al” was short for “Alfred.”
No worries. I love his music.
You received a C&D from WDC?
I ask, because my lawyer said there’s still a 1st Amendment right to satire, comment, & parody.
To wit…

i could not explain away the #lacuna without consulting the gods who told me in a hundred beads fallen from my wrist in a sun shower in the middle of the night where I had been. remembering I cried. and wrote it down as fast as I could before it went out on the tides #vss365

His heart was a #Lacuna, too many dates fizzling out at the second if he wasn't stood up on the first.
He tried, and chats went so well, but nothing worked out for real.
Dejected, he gave one last swipe and tried again, begging the ceiling to answer him.

In the Great Leader’s biography, the #lacuna between him riding down from the mountain on a white horse to terror of the homeland’s traitors was wide. Where the transition from liberator to ideological witch hunter happened was unclear, and asking was the best way to get labelled a traitor. #vss365

He always said there's no such thing as heroes. We're all supporting actors; with nobody to support.
That's why all his stories had a protagonist-shaped #lacuna. The other characters skirted around it. Readers sensed it. Nobody could describe it. But it drove the story, like a black hole.
