Raw Release
I cradle a fragment of yesterday,
sealed tight in shatterproof glass—
a souvenir of who I was,
before the hurt of today
sucked the breath from my lungs
and left me adrift,
yearning for tomorrow's
raw release.

The Weight of the Wait
Smirr drapes the world, soaking me to the bone,

Here's my attempt to use all four words
One Stray Spark
Feuillemort feathers the fickle forest floor,
Sparked by a glisk on a brief winter tour.
Surrounded by smaze, the trees cough and choke
Snirtles are stifled, a forest fire is no joke.

My head was caught
in a wave of nostalgia
vellichor pulling me

All those books I’d read

back to haunt me.
Never in a rush to leave

clinomania clamped

The outside world
uninviting
all my dysania
won't go away
