Their words circling
Hate is a tightening chain
Step away from it

#senryu #poetry

All the hate of the past weeks has hit me hard. As an autistic, nonbinary, light-skinned ndn, these rhetorics of hate hit my communities directly and purposefully. It is time to lean into safe spaces.

When the wind forgets
And the waves are all that remembers,
Water carrying all things
For all time,
May the truth ring true
In the settling of ripples
In the rise and fall of tides
May you see truth in your own reflection
And know it is carried
There
In the water of you

So much for “I’m going to try to post daily.” Still too busy. Plus emotionally exhausted and grieving/enraged with the impacts of fascism and hate and fear and the lack of care for schools shootings and people’s safety. I’m tired.

#Finite

We are ever temporary
between
our collapsing bodies

We are ever momentary
between
our expanding breaths

We are living history
between
our changing presence

Fear and greed fuel propaganda
Threats to the enemy ripe with hate
Gathering community strikes terror
A war cry against just people
Ideological extremism oozes infection
Seeping into the eyes and hearts
Compassion dissipates in fear
It’s time to breathe

Cobwebs whisper harmonies
As footsteps leap the stairs
Traveling between then and when
Dust scuttling off the ankles
Where harmonies wait
Hoping no broom finds them
Perhaps they will billow for a bit
When the door opens
New melodies beyond the quiet

I have been BUSY! Good stuff, but much stuff. I don't write as much poetry when I'm not on here doing prompts though, so I'm hoping to keep posting at least one poem or a handful of prompts daily. No promises. Keep sharing good trouble and arts and all the awesome community care you give/receive!

Cooling days and nights
Breeze carries mushrooms and moss
Autumn is coming

Little brown acorn
Fallen whole upon my path
Pocket full of joy

#haiku #poetry #micropoetry

I found this today and kept forgetting it was in my pocket, which made for excitedly sharing the acorn multiple times today. Look at the acorn! So cute and perfect!

Quaking aspens bent
Fall came with color and tears
Weeping nation’s heart

Protested on the holiday weekend between hot air balloons and driving kids around. Ran into friends. Contacted an arts group involved with political theater, poetry and music. Good times. Good times.
#WorkersOverBillionaires

Three light-skinned friends at a the Workers Over Billionaires Labor Day protest in Colorado. One holds an American flag partially visible at the edges.

An elderly light-skinned man and veteran sits on city hall’s steps. He is wearing a black t-shirt with a three-circle Venn diagram. The three circles say, “1984,” “Brave New World,” and “Fahrenheit 451.” The center says, “you are here.” He is wearing a white pin that reads, “thanking veterans every day.”

Awesome! Thanks for that!

Aw thank you! I am now wondering if birds really eat them or what animals do, since they can’t well be digested by many animals (including us) without processing first. 🤔

Summer disorients time
Blurs into heat and growth

Then in August
My walks take me
To searching leaves
For shades of red and yellow
Browning acorns on the branch

And so when September comes
I know when I am

Found in spring
Elder bushes dancing
Between pavement and buildings
From flower to fruit
How I wonder
At how well you feed this world
Bursts of berries darken
In summer sun and rain
Making welcome
For birds and weary walkers

#WildWalkPrompt cluster
#poetry

Rip deep purple elderberries on the bush, about half to a third of which have been taken by birds.

Spice has seasons
Peppers grow and call for heat
Soon cinnamon shouts

Patient flower waits
Pollen dropping from the vase
No insects will come

Wytness obligated me
To holding mirrors
Speaking out
Against the racist drivel

Thought my skin
Meant safety
For their hate
They couldn’t see
My NDN, Hispanic roots

I saw them hide some hate
Unwitnessed by other wyts
Some only for wyts
Racism was clearly
A choice
