“Clinical Interruption” by @vignettes.bsky.social centers the #integrity of the body, perfectly maintaining metaphor throughout. A beautiful #Poem from Issue 7
“He lies like a house condemned
timbers softening
joists sighing under the weight”

She is the founder of her own misfortune. She gives it air to breathe and feeds it doubts. But she also nurtures hope, takes it for long walks and whispers secrets to it. They walk together and balance along edges. Companions that decided long ago to stay together.

Laid bare on the floor, still & light as a shadow stirred only by fracturing of air.
She moved her hand, the atlas of her fingertips, sticky with something viscous.
'Oscar bravo 3497" crackled, poured into her, humming static, insects whirring & the smell of iron.

you say later, another day
believing this perfect moment
can be placed on hold
replicated at will
I fall back into elements
roots, birds, flames, oceans
you carve a flute from indifference
I conjour a symphony

On bitterest nights, we watch for moonshadows at the forest edge. Lost beasts returning to our island. Once theirs.
Darker on darkness. Restless shapes of elk and bear, lynx and wolf.
Their calls we hear as blessing or warning. The forest, they say, will rule this island again.

Nightmares loosen their teeth.
I gallop ceiling cracks,
hooves of breath.
Strength wakes
tingling in my wrists,
pulling me through sleep’s hedge,
where fear forgets my name.
