November. your dying was near it was hovering. your spirit pulling away then back into the body #geography flickering and fading. my eyes swim in tears. the love comes quick and you will not be forgotten. #vss365

when they came up from the maelstrom the ones who had given up on any sign of life were ashamed or did not believe. when they set eyes upon them they saw they were mostly unchanged but for one brushstroke ... their hair once black now silver the irises #argent too

another #experiment gone awry ... she falls to her knees and rips at her coat ... her zombies limp out from the shadows to console her ... suddenly her eyes open wide in revelation ... what if I give you sunlight? #vss365

the lad was downcast watching the oatmeal drip off a sugary spoon. heavy in some story he told himself. she caught his eye. look! my nail polish. isn't it radiant? the counter story began to take ... can we go to the park? I want to feed the ducks. #vss365

It's Lesbian Visibility Day, and I see that Bookshop is having FREE SHIPPING until the day's over, so it's clearly time for some lesbian horror 🌈😈

Dylan inspected the wreckage, his anger rising from every little thing he saw. Twisted metal, burnt plastic, the acrid smell irritating his nose, #ash that was once human.
He’d had enough of these fools and their petty grievances. Storming back to barracks, he shot the culprit in the leg.

I sit the pain down
for a candid conversation.
I let him burst
in terrifying clarity
while reminding him
of life's absurdity.
We hold each other
and watch this burning world
as we both smile.
The ash
becomes our blanket.
We drift into dawn
with fists scabbed
and free.

thoughts will not stop. what will become of us? someone turns you on to magnesium and finally you crash. you get some time remming with old friends and loose associations. you clash. money on black. give it all to indigenous nations. protest by stickers.

the blur of memory laughing with friends antagonized by the enemy falling into low vibration energy we isolate the problem only to discover it's not us we look up to the stars and polish our eyes with our fists tracing the scars on our wrists we come up

we saw the city we fought for
all of us in our own way
some of us girls
were dressing the wounds lugging
water and bread
to the front
my dreams burned off with the clouds
shirt wet
your blood my tears
your green eyes I recall
carrying the dreaded
eventuality

perhaps
the light inside you
can be channeled 2 dissipate the various hells
perhaps
the best days are ahead
the pain will inform gratitude
perhaps
the kids born today will love paperbacks
the benevolent ones
when they die
watch over
us

Perhaps, thought Stephen, I could live my life in reverse. Watch the arrows pop out and restring themselves in the bow, watch the lady’s finger erase the what for, wheel the bucket back up from hell as the neighbors wheel in their complaints, leaving silence in the garden.
