Gentle spirit -
eternal light shining,
blinding daring eyes.

Wanderer between
lost lands discovers:
a spark.
A fire.
A purpose -

Burn the great tree
hiding sunlight
from the forest.

He wore a black bow tie
I wore a #chic red dress

His eyes sparkled
As did my lipstick

We walked across the hall
Towards each other

He sided pass, to kiss the blonde
I went to drown, in the punch bowl

Before dawn, 3 a.m. on the porch, teary eyes scan star-laden skies, scared, and searching for an answer: Where does all my love for you go when you are not here? Are you woven now amongst the constellations, having coffee with Orion, sharing a joke with Cassiopeia as she dangles upside down? (Only you could do such things.) I think of you now, free-floating, witnessing creation, receiving my messages beyond the light-years. -M.A. Rivoire

We should have stopped
this atrocity from happening
we should have
dispelled the rhetoric
we should have played
dirtier politics
we should have called
out misogyny
we should have screamed
because “the economy, stupid”
is now “the economy and everything else sucks”

People better wake up before it’s too late!
Stop supporting these small group of very powerful people that controls a government or society: The powerful socio-economic oligarchy tried to preserve its privileged status.

She wore optimism like a cozy, sparkling sweater painted in holiday colors— red, green, gold, her favorite— because when she was little, she knew dirt floors, a coal-mining, absent father, and four cold walls. No family feast. So passionate for the holidays as infectious as her laughter, because she fought to give us more: a feast, and gifts, even when he tried to destroy it. -M.A. Rivoire

There’s a river of darkness
Flowing through my veins
Blackens my daydreams

Sinks my soul
To out of reach depths
Through to the #last of the empties

Because without you
Moon stars sun blur into one
These are my never more hours

Yes we all matter, it all #matters
Then why must words be so cruel
Suspicion resting on our souls
Seen and unseen
Every dot every dash
Like morse code
Every taste every smell
A smile an ouch
Every sound every bit of silence
Yes yes we all matter, it all matters

Decades creep yet fly at light-speed. The music plays on, still the same song— a fucked up Groundhog Day. So many years wasted, so many spent livid as you menaced us. It ended at my command. Never again will I allow my arms to grow exhausted from swinging at the ghost of an already dead man. -M.A. Rivoire

How Autumn & Winter
Conspire to thwart
Summers’ soothing shine

With snowflake falls
& decaying pitiful leaves
Never #learning

They”ll feel the crisp sharp bite
Of Springs’ pied piper birds
Singing notes

On new petal flutes
Coming alive
Again and again

The poem ended up a little too long to fit in a single bluesky post so here it is published elsewhere.

It's about the experiences of a lot of queer and feminine people I know, who work thankless jobs in spite of the brilliance they demonstrate regularly.
The convolutions of her brain, 　working in the pouring rain, all forgotten by the day 　they go on and unexplained. No one listens anyway. We asymptotically approach 　a point of view, fractured by hope, divided amongst all ourselves. There's no room, 　nor space for her in hell. Working in the pouring rain, 　every empty set, the same.　 She can smile it away, 　be jovial and then decay: the sun shall rise another day. How it hurts to see the future! 　It's the smiles that confuse her. Nothing that they say adds up— 　like a fraction, they've reduced her to reaction, like a noose her 　own body's her abuser. Working in the pouring rain. Ruby @empathetic.computer The text of the poem "Jovial // Empty Set" in monospace font on a black background.
