#stormy night descends
hope is merely delayed death—
the void does not care

Pollice Verso (Jean-Léon Gérôme, 1872), showing a murmillo standing over a defeated retiarius. In Latin class I was taught that thumbs up meant death. Opinion still divided. (8 syllables in the middle sorry!)

#autumnal shadows
summer sun fades from my heart—
your warmth still lingers

every fibre of my being says
stop!
don't try and attempt #sanguine
it's not you
you're black bile
melancholy
broken
the least of the humors
the one that's not humorous
but
i have to write this
because i'm worthless
don't like this

i don't

I love the Yuletide cuisine,
But the bowls are quickly picked clean
I am always too slow,
And let others go,
A Christmas #naivete scene.

the years melt away
imperceptible
in our youth
noticeably
ever faster now
small droplets of memory
slipping like warm #wax
from life’s guttering candle
only a stub remains
but your light
and warmth
endures

my hurtful words
in a tear-filled #tissue

yet still you stayed
believing in me

memories frayed thin
like an aged #poster
bleached to the pallor
of forgotten summers,
tattered edges flutter
like the wings of birds
of a paradise we knew,
distant halcyon days
when your soft touch
once lit my world

Einstein liked order
"the Old One does not play #dice"
his oft-quoted phrase
but uncertainty prevails
probability describes

#vss365 #tanka

Einstein never accepted quantum mechanics & wrote to Max Born (Dec. 4th 1926) "Jedenfalls bin ich überzeugt, daß der Alte nicht würfelt."
