#abject #vss365
Against a paled out backdrop of a window frame, a story reads: He eschewed engineered experiences called “news” like processed food, since mainstream media eroded into an information desert dotted with oases of hate and opinion.  He adhered to a diet of wonder, hope, and empathy, ensuring he didn’t devolve into a collection of #abject attitudes, as had happened to so many at-one-time-kind-and-rational people.

#vss365 #laugh #poetry #hollowedout #amwriting
On a faded, abstract background of decaying prickly pear paddle, a poem reads Behind their eyes dwells the signal snow of an analog television each pixel a crafted image of another's fuller life wrapped in a hissing track of of static that crackles behind their ears with pops of laughter crying the distant hum of living face to face. They are the sense-deprived yet overstimulated; part of the great hollowing out.

#vss365 #angel
Against a faded backdrop of a cross section of a fossil ammonite shell, a story reads: "From its persistent perch on my right shoulder, one #angel whispers advice that I neither ask for nor heed. The other one, that strong, guardian type, will eventually miss a cue or have to stand down when Death arrives with Authority to take me. Imagine being one of those spirited creations of the divine yet still being fated to fail. Oh. Wait."

#vss365 #sapphire
Against a teal backdrop of tangled wires, a very short story called Protection reads: Each day, she sports symbolic protections of sapphire - cornflower blue on her ring finger and olivine at her throat. Though they offer no physical shield from the day’s ruby-red hate and the crimson-filled news cycle, she takes comfort in knowing that they will arrogantly endure well past this millennium's current state of inhumane humanity.

#vss365 #sparrow #poetry #poem
A poem entitled An Agnostic Prayer #2 reads: if there is any place like a heaven and if i am possessed of anything like a soul that may travel there when this body is lost to me may my soul find its conveyance there on the bouncy flight of a #sparrow chirping of my arrival with so much joy and vigor that eagles will part in its wake

#vss365 #happenstance #poetry #poem
against a background of bundled, charred wires, a poem called Dead End/No Vacancy reads every thread i pull ends knotted clotted by human limitation when i strive to untangle this cosmic #happenstance of chemistry and sentience colliding that set our Existence sparking / and what i further miss from the effort is finding enough odd-shaped niches being held for all of us - Its broken misfit pieces

#vss365 #spiritual #protestpoem with a request from grace and all due respect for @stephenking.bsky.social 🙏
against a photo of a protester waving a US flag mounted upside down a pole, a poem called Below Ground reads Below Ground as its army of hatred scorch-earths the nation fueled by #spiritual deformity and a supremacy ideal this revival is revealing their new Jesus was never entombed but instead managed to claw his way from the dirt of The Pet Cemetery where white christian nationalism so cleverly buried him

#mellow #vss365
A poem on a background photo of textile rows, that reads Mellow is the rainbow mini-unicorn waiting in your passenger seat when you return to the car with a bag full of pregnancy tests: a mythical invitation to breathe, consider, delay and then maybe not respond to the hailstorm of stimuli devouring your sanity. Permission to drop the bag and embrace Mellow: granted. You can always pee later.

#vss365 #innocence
A short story, printed over an an abstract amber flame background (photo, not AI) reads: Finn buried his trials and trauma under the weight of paint on his large, abstract canvases, combatting his life’s heaviness with his art. But as his palette knife deftly levied heavy lines of burnt umber over the portrait of Anna he’d painted the month after they met, he instead buried something another had lost: innocence.

#vss365 #contrarian #poetry #poem #reflection
Background is an opaque image mirrored in the middle made to look like two stylized eye balls. In black text on the image is a poem that reads: Savvy Contrarian He’s a savvy #contrarian. Makes me believe disagreeing is my idea. Secrets his agenda - some metaphysical bag of dog shit - on my doorstep like a ninja in the night and then steals away before my doorbell cam even knows he was there. I mean, so, would you agree to a metaphysical bag of dog shit? As I stated, he’s a savvy contrarian.

#vss365 #skirmish
A poem that reads: you always outlast a #skirmish always survive it but so do they  nothing ever won but a little something lost by each side  where does it go, what each side cedes in these not-losses that pile up like used pallets  outside an empty warehouse  nothing left to win  and no one left to win it all have retreated  to something like a grave
