My poem, 'Forgotten,' published by @bluevilla.org in 2024. Find links to my other works at allisonwaltersluther.com.
Monotone pic of beach. Poem: Forgotten Days, weeks, months, years washed by anguish and made of sea-swept salt until the edges are both silk and razor Each memory different from the others when you lean in close, eyes wide and searching but as you move away through time and life they are all the same Remembered only with the greatest effort lost more often than found smaller than grains of sand and just as infinite How many hourglasses of time did it take to build the dunes where the memories lay forgotten?

Another from my "Colo(u)rs" collection, 'Gray' was published by @bluevilla.org in 2024.

When the voices of ghosts who walk the halls echo And whispers come from dark corners of empty rooms Memories obscured by curtains of mist hang at dusk long after all the leaves have fallen Haunted by those we cannot remember and those we wish we could forget Like a metronome that skips a beat so do we skip faded heartbeats When everything is gray

One of my latest poems, The Ending, was published by Poetry Catalog today! I normally don’t do rhyming poetry, but the first quatrain appeared spontaneously in my head one day and took up residence there.

'Liminal,' another poem published by @bluevilla.org in 2024. I always thought ‘liminal’ was a beautiful word: “Occupying a position at, or on both sides, of a boundary.” I feel most of my life has been spent in that space. You can find links to my other published works at allisonwaltersluther.com.
Poem: Liminal Mourn by day Weep by night For the things you’ve given And no one returns As you teeter on the sharpest edge Between the end and Freedom

Whenever 11 leaves for school in the morning, Percy goes "Bye-bye! Love you!" and will randomly holler for him throughout the day. Love this bird so fucking much!

Charles “Charlie” Paul Hendrix Xavier Luther is 4 today! He loves getting scritches, preening his fave people, doing jump-jumps/tap-tap-taps, pine nuts & watching NatGeo whale documentaries. He speaks 50+ words & phrases & is an absolute joy, unless it’s horny season & he’s trying to fuck your hand.

My poem, "Unleafing", published by Ghost Light Lit. The change from autumn to winter is a magical time: the dying of the year, shifting from one phase of life to another, moving between dreams, when you either survive, or you don’t. You can find the link at allisonwaltersluther.com/published-works

Percy, everyone’s favorite Angry Spite Chicken™️, turned 27 yesterday! He loves pistachios & sweet potatoes & watching the kids play video games. He can tell time (kind of) & loves to chime in on conversations. He is my superhero!

And I just realized my website is spelled incorrectly because I'm very tired and why the fuck not? I am unable to edit the post and since it's already been shared (thank you!), I shall just repost it here!

'RED,' published July 2024 by Poetry Catalog. Part of my "Colo(u)rs" collection.
You can find links to my other published pieces, including my latest 'Bourbon and Wet Pavement' at allisonwaltersluther.com.
Poem: Red Actions speak louder than words Or so we’re told Your actions screamed While your words whispered Each weighed carefully And marked down It was a ledger of sorts Lies versus truths Dreams versus nightmares Joy versus misery Tally marks on my heart Promises Broken vows And all things in between Big and small And at the end, When the counting was done Your ledger bled Red

For anyone who needs a laugh today... I went to get Percy, my angry spite chicken, out of his cage this morning. He didn't want to step up, so I said, "I'll come back later," and started to walk away. He called me an asshole. BUT he was ready to step up next time I asked. Asshole.

5 yr ago today, my daughter & I had the pleasure of meeting @elizabethwaren.bsky.social @warren.senate.gov at her rally in Seattle. She was so lovely & fired up. My kid gave her a pin "If you're not angry, you're not paying attention". We had such hope. Very bittersweet.
