My wings are wide to guard my hoards,
But my gaze rests on the quiet word;
The greatest wealth is found within.

Spreading slowly over
gentle warmth surrounds
Guarding my exposure
A warm hug so profound
If only the heat circulated
But it stays where I urinated

Time's relentless race
I prefer a slower pace
But the clock cares not.

The sky
saved room
for one more tear
and I supplied it
earnestly

it rolled slowly
down my cheek,
onto the ground,
from where
it travelled
to the clouds

when the
rain poured
it returned,
so I cried
once more—
for you, for us

for the endless
boundaries
our souls
can't cross.

Nightingale's song was
Visible in tiny plumes
Of breath in the frost.

"Where's my sweet nightingale, my love?"
nearby crickets weep with tears

Pretty void blossom
Unfurling inky black hues
In my battered heart.

The way you feel someone looking at you, out of the corner of your eye,

The way you see someone you want to avoid, yet greet silently with a side-eye stare

Or the way, a gentle view, not ferocious, just a stare

That seems to say, can I come out again?

I saw, what was sent,
The moment the 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘴 struck the earth,
The sky's last #refrain.

Three pennies
On the floor
Wishing
It were more
Not quite
Enough
To be picked up
Unless of course
A shoestring
Needs tending
Shine all gone
Blending well
Soon to be
Forgotten

Before the blade comes,
To remove the delicate layer,
A plan preserves.

The fact you don't feel like you did anything "productive" today doesn't mean it was a "wasted" recovery day. There are dozens of recovery tasks revolving around how we talk & relate to ourselves that have zero to do w/ outward "productivity," but which move our journey forward.

Oh, I 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 your type,
You'll trade your soul, for my wish,
"No consequences."

The wave... moved on.
Where once chaos, only silence,
And bodies, remained.

Shiny baubles
Floated
At the point

Pushing them
Away from shore
The only goal
Left #achievable
A walk into the sea
