pedal down, I play notes on a drowning surface, scatterbrained a primordial hum of silt and undersea I press a key to hear what one hand says to the other to drown, in whispers #supercilious as our hemispheres #vss365 #emoetry #poetryprompt

the kiss of frost light tips blue the easy pasture I wait for you #dailyhaikuprompt #haiku #pasture

Lick my arm, spark murmuring blue. #7syllablesentence

‘Traffic’ caught in the #flow of you in the arterial darkness, I think of steel rain on a mountain its valleys flayed open yet fonder, still of tar that binds as black ice on an empty road call me bystander make me go slow #wildwalkprompt #poetrysky #emoetry

call her child our #lips a prism to cast for bright & blind a kind justice strands dyed to match the shade spun by girlhood (woody notes in the cotton) & sons (wouldn’t) & mothers (should’ve) & daughters (didn’t) & fathers (couldn’t) speak now call her child kiss it better #vss365 #rage

wider than the spread of pages bent with sciatic groan desire hoked, still mine to slake & you enriched in text count iambic thrusts as sweat pools in the #lacuna of our appendices what need have we for notes? when foxed hearts clasp the thread so well #vss365 #poetry #textualhealing

He says my laugh is a carol a festive cairn to stain the cleanest scape I say let’s make a feast of choirs leave this meagre crumb but he prefers the #heliacal drone of all his forms the bright & the bore #vss365 #poetrysky #promptpersuasion

I don’t know how to/be scissor smooth & cut to the end to all she knew as ashes crawl in the groove of strings that resonant sense of ghosts that cling to the movement of her voice just gives your life away #whistpr #poetrysky #rustwarning

I wish I ran like a dog eyes up faith in a stride tang of sun-warmed iron-rich earth huffed across my tongue to be sick at alum lilies vomit up this energy howl a dirge & be done to cut at birth needled teeth loveworn to forgive and never forget #vss365 #poetryhaitus

scarlet dawn the city gulls are crying salty for the sea here is a splinter of my driftwood heart #whistpr #30Days30Words #vss365

impulse buy a one way ticket to the past sole passenger on a silver bullet fired back through time (time flies by in daydream flashes humming its own song) final destination unknown wonder when I'll arrive in the history books #ScifaikuSaturday #whistpr #vss365

you talk of passengers who took the long way round (honest concealers who forget more of skies than you care to remember) to stand on a russet stair tourists to your carbon chatter taking pictures of a pointed view in the blue, a whistle sounds more precise for the quiet #whistpr

Me and Old Robot are hunting for the head this fancy hat belongs on. First, we meet a statue. He's standing on big words like courage and honour. Got dandy pants and mutton chop whiskers. Longest stare I ever saw, all the way out to sea and into memory. Or hope, Old Robot says. #whistpr #inkMine

up on Jack’s Hill we sit among shards of countless silence layered on repeat hey dj, don’t skip the rusted billions of final static for reddened endings under you under me #vss365 #final
