and from the rupture
that was breaking our hearts
we came forth clean again, naked,
loving each other
without dream, without sand,
complete and radiant,
sealed by fire.
-Pablo Neruda, The Dream
Pinned
luxuriating in you,
your quiescent bliss

open mouth salivating
purring with each drunken kiss

feeding on your holy flesh,
licking heart wounds clean

bathing in baptismal blood
ascending into a dream

hunting season, jeep halts
count ‘em: twenty deer fleeing—
my heart goes with them

wilting reveries
love lies bleeding on the vine
heartache harrowing
soulbound silver cords combined
star-crossed lovers knot entwined

November : 🍂

Watching leaves falling,
Lost love’s embers, … remembered-
First one, … another ~

drifting, bathed in tears
ghostly presence harrowing
dreamtime life endeared
lustful tongue salted burning
waking lonely, aged by years

If you'd like to read it, I wrote a short story yesterday. It only takes about 4 minutes to read (or less). [No need to leave Bluesky to read it.]
"We Shine" a short story by Kimber Johnson

Through Halloween night I'm going to post a series of spooky haiku inspired by Eldritch horror.

I turn off the light-
the darkness
is already waiting

Just saw a vanity license plate that read “STI GUY,” and my dude, I don’t think that’s something you should be bragging about.
