Our ship is trapped
By haunted sea—
No wind
To fill its #sails…

Cuz I ignored
Dire tidings
Of the witch
Who warned we’d fail

I deemed
Her “signs and portents”
As mere
Superficial rot

And now my crew
Must pay the price
As on dead sea
We rock

We follow the tide-worn groynes down to the waves.

“It's quiet today,” you say, skimming a stone across the surface. We watch its progress among the foam and detritus.

The wreckage adorns the shallows, floating, dead in the water. Further out, a red sail twists and wallows.

uncertainty's brief beauty

This is from The Silted Silence.

Trying to piece together a pattern to the disappearances.

In reflection, these leaves fallen across a puddle, have found a way back into their parents’ arms.

cops search me
for banned ideas
I think of happier times

where we don't belong
old robot watching me weep
in the ruined library

habitat shift
silvery saplings grow
from burnt pages

Bob talks to Nora about one of his past relationships and how she #lured him in. He fell for the chemistry and her flattery, but she turned out to be a total toad. Nora has nothing good to say about this woman and she doesn't know why Bob is even talking about her.

The #mountain had always been a friend: solid, unwavering, permanent. Some called it extinct. Others warned it was only sleeping.

On the day we married, dark smoke marred its peak.

By morning, the horizon was bare—flat and featureless.

In the makeshift home that she had fashioned between a number of other shanties dangling from the Underside, her little sanctuary away from the tumult of Tarkar’s Bridge, Ilyna surveyed her loot.

Through the gaps in the floorboards, she saw a #cloud drift underneath and pass beyond.

Stretching west over the ocean, the contrails multiply—white lines scraping the brittle sky in a bid for freedom. A single #cloud lies low across the eastern horizon. Smoke, perhaps. Crowds of us gather along the coast, seeking a way out, our eyes tracing the last of the trails.

The hospital ward echoes:
soft chatter lulling in flows
(a hollow ebb and swell).
But my steps leave
no marks,
no sand captures my passing.
Am I really here—in these starched lines?
They tell me—think of holidays,
the spiced scent of time away;
a kind of trick I say.
Kind.
As I drift.
