paranoia, frozen fear
darting eyes & flexing fingers
his viscous rattled breath
perturbs the nightmare brume
— #caprice in autumnal bloom
consumed by demon chatter
led toward the railway clatter
mesmerised by the invitation
one trip to escape the other

a threnody
where my heart should be
its atavistic grame
pooling in ink blots & words
i #sublimate the urge poorly,
limning in broken thoughts & skin
as masked desires #clash
with a hope for better days
and the lunacy of a sickle moon

Drizzle on the glass,
quiet echoes of sorrow,
a heart weeping slow.

I kind of want to
Ask you to
Dance with me

Because
Tomorrow’s
Unsure

& I don’t want
Time to grab it so fast & go
I want my maybe last dance
To be with you

#Eventuality
Often culminates
In disappointment
And each day
There’s more of my heart
To sweep off the floor
And recycle
Right next to the bits
Of cardboard
I keep forgetting
To break down;
Maybe one day
Eventuality
Will be more
Than this constant ache
And will give me
Clarity
Instead.

At the meeting, the Faction leaders asked him all the right questions, even wanted Dylan to lead part of the little fleet, but he knew it was all but an #eventuality that he would get pushed aside as the war progressed.

So he declined the responsibility, but agreed to work together.

When silence
shatters louder
than my voice
ever did,
you'll turn back
through the rubble
of your choices
and find I'm
missing from
the ruins.
Love won't
be waiting,
only the
shape of its
absence,
and you'll
understand
too late
how it should've
been given.

In her gaze I found
familiarity reflected

In our mirrored touches
I found only cold glass

In our crossed visions
we found oblivion

The dreams always begin
The same way
#Bellwether omen
A black sheep
Leading the flock
And I’m somewhere
In the hedgerows
Waiting
For something to happen
And perhaps
That’s the sign
That even within
My own consciousness
I stand without;
A lucid intruder
Unable
To prevent
My own catastrophe

oh, love
they named me
so many things I am not
and I carried their namings
shoulders besieged by the weight
footsteps heavy enough to crack concrete
till you plucked the words like harp strings
and made me light and music
you asked me which names
I actually belong to
and let me
rest there

If you dream it, you can do it.
Make an enchanted crown of antlers & bones.
Haunt the darkness on the ragged edge of town.
Unfurl your great black wings, take flight across the forest, and teach the night your name.

photo: mine -Modern statue of
Juliet Capulet at an outdoor art park (Pyramid Hill in OH). She both dances & aches, knowing her love to Romeo is forbidden. See ALT.

This 17-foot, bronze-and-black granite sculpture is called “Wherefore Art Thou” and was created by the artist, Sam McKinney. It depicts Juliet's final moments. The other side of this statue (not shown here) is of Romeo. The statue weighs well over six tons. This is one of many modern statues on display at Pyramid Hill, located in OH.

We can be far too hard on ourselves. It's important to give yourself more grace….yes, You, not others, but YOU.

Dear #Daddy

If you're not gonna steal me away
then could you at least send me
a few more muses to worship me?
oh and also the Epstein list

Thanks

In his own, limited, way Dylan had become a #bellwether for the resistance against The Enemy. Those that believed him now expected him to know what to do, but though he had encountered them the most, he had no more knowledge than anyone else.

This needed military minds and scientists.
