the night in velvet
swallowing stars in its bottomless pool
the more I stare, the less I'm here
#unctuous shadows curl in close
breathe in the smoke, sink like a stone
a crowd of ghosts but you're alone

Rather than incorporating #slithy into writing, I was inspired to create some portmanteaux of my own. May I present:
n00benesque: voluptuous n00b (adj.)
Limpotent: emphatically limp
Fibberish: a nonsensical lie
Requirous: feeling one requires something
Grippery: the opposite of slippery

Gutted. I remember the first time I watched Twin Peaks - completely blown away, an instant favorite. I immediately knew I needed to see everything David Lynch had done. What a loss - but we’re so lucky for the time we got to consciously exist in the same reality with this absolute weirdo. RIP.

there is nothing like the thrill of reading something that makes you want to write immediately afterward

God quit—
put his two-week notice in
packed up what was dear to him
& holy ghosted.

That’s it—
guess we’re stuck with all our sin.
Cue the tiny violin.
