The flame flickers and spits
Time too short for dark to hold
Light recedes into the cold
Perceptions seem all amiss
The candle blinked twice more
And we saw behind the door

In the moment we fell
Lifting us, drifting us
Away from our cell
As we reached higher
We tore out the feathers
And set them on fire
Wings again formed
As we welcome our hell

Another seagull picture 🤣 people might think I'm running out of ideas... maybe I am, i didn't expect to still be going

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

Illuminating the dark
Stillness carries weight
Across a lonely car park.
Speakers sing tinny
Songs that echo
Out across the empty
Out in the cold.
Sodium street lights
Reflecting on snow.

Plotting twists and turns as one
Until the net loosens
A storied attempt to outrun
Ideas scattered in the ink
A shoal of letters now undone
As they slip into the abyss

One fish caught my eye today. A single white shadow in a cloud of black.

Reflections of lives past
Collected by constellations
On a background so vast
Each had its own story
As the generations passed
Memories faded away
Leaving space to be recast

This virus I’ve caught
Has me tied in knots
Still have to work
In a fog of cold meds
Can hardly get out of bed
Can’t write for shit
I want to smell that orchid
But it’s just Vicks VapoRub
#wildwalkprompt #orchid
Today I give you something that I am horribly allergic to. Gather enough of them in a room and I can't breathe.

A past for a guide
What the future hides
Ideas spread like a phage
Too fast to be denied
So burn where they reside
Let the flames rage
Ashes of ideas are caged

The remains of a campfire (still very warm) uncovered in the woods... someone was burning books...😡

The ones I trusted, loved
Walked me to the chamber
Men in robes surrounded me
Dragging me to the center
They tried to drown me
From under the water
I heard angry shouts
In unknown tongues
They said I was forgiven
But I never knew
For what

The words run
And so little stays
Paper becomes dust
As together we age
Our memories and fears
We share them as one
A breath on a page

Shimmers golden in a cup
First ask in a full work up
To check for infection
And things that shouldn’t be
They always want your pee
Not like anyone likes it
It’s taken with disgust
So please, just let me flush

Remembering my day
And the amount of #side-eye
Glances that came my way
What did I do wrong
Could I change what I say
Did I offend or embarrass
Still worrying as I lay
My #measurable mistakes
Those thoughts that betray
Tomorrow, no one cares

Ankles trapped in my pants
Feet caught on my cats
I can’t walk straight
Try to dodge what’s in my path
Not like a soccer match
I’m just not that graceful
Instead, I imagine it’s like
Seeing Wyle E Coyote strike
At least I’m good for a laugh
#wildwalkprompt #tangle
The out of control weeds on my front lawn have all died in a cold dried up messy heap... somehow it's less messy...

Under the settled dust
Is the variation
The option we’re seeking
For validation
To live a transient existence

Or I suppose evolution
That humans don’t reproduce
Much like the mushrooms
Can you imagine
If that creep on the bus
Released a cloud of spores
Out onto us

More fungus from me... (There's a lot of it around this time of year. Thankfully there's loads of fungal words too.

Fevered summers breath
Awaiting autumns change
To bring cool relief
The flames retreating
To the ashes beneath
Only to resurface
Amongst the leaves

I struggled to think of a word for this one, but these leaves shone in the night like flames. So I guess that works

Diseased and defiled
And after awhile
The spores
Began to spread
A war inside my head
Something began to grow
Never knowing
In the end
Believing I was alive
But most certainly dead
