From the pantry"
Carol said,
"And lay it all out
Nicely there about"
Her typical Sunday spread.
She, a mountain
Of a woman
No man could cross
And I her pupil
No mentor her equal
She was a tempest tossed
Firestorm
Warm
I miss her still.

Sharpen your shears
Peonies bloom
For a number of years.
I am the marigold
You the angel’s tears
I will grow anywhere
You may cut away
My fears

His words devised
New methods and lies
To tear her reality apart
Thread by thread
And put his own
Inside her head.
Little did he know
His world was no
Larger than a pebble
Inside her mind

red wax in a puddled mess
a makers mark of puzzle pieces
dousing tech bros in A1
ground machinery beetles

Lightning cracks under my skin
Depression rolls in
Ash clouds towering
Rain drenched horizons stretching
Within and without
My clouded vision,
No sight beyond the torrent,
I am lost in the storm.
#poem, #poetry, #TheRiffOffGame, #storm, #haiku, #depression
Our mere existence
Prokaryotes
Into walking, talking, humans
Ingenious
Fire, currency, society
A perfect storm
#poetry #riffoff
Racer running fast off course
Hooves kicking up dirt
Throughbred daring
The wind against its mane, a win
A win against the odds.

Recognizing the limitations
Of external validation
We will only ever be
As beautiful as what we can
Call ourselves in mirrors

Crackling thunder
Pulling her far under
Sky, a relentless ocean
Bombarding waves
Drowning in the indigo
Felt first, then seen, afar
Extended hand
Waving from study land
Come, my friend, to safety
A cuppa herbal tea
Welcoming your bravery

The sound of applause
Confused as they were
For what was the show?
Before they could ask,
She sang the ABCs
Except not in order
Rather perplexing
Determining she had
Gone and lost it

Sweet voodoo child
To the beauty and the pain
Life holds all the mystery
Between the palms
of small hands
A face yet to touch melancholy
Anger, fear, or joy.
Silence is my vigil and
Vigilance is the way.

Vigilantism is what
I actually meant to say
Get the forks and plates
We're eating good today
Quickly before they
Try to run away
Bait them with stocks
Even their yachts
Together they'll flock
Right into our maws

demolition of the autocracy
supposing aspirational
if perhaps just a bit far fetched
cravings from this oligarchy
lest they poison us with
stomach smallpox laced oxy
wouldn't be the first time
historically attacked
by a fictional hysteria

Gone and lost it
Rights ripened then rotted,
Tossed into the garbage pit.
Seram wrap what's leftover
As SAVE has shit
In the kitchen of
our democracy.
