"Oh relax, your mother and I love a bit of banter. I promise she wasn't offended when I said that her beauty had #bewitched me. She knows it's all in good fun, Nora, truly she does. Why are you looking at me like that?"

an innominate one,
under a dull #aurora,
extending his naïve tongue
for the whim of a wafer
—an exegesis literatim;
marginalized
from the well-admired,
he's left inviting
an invective #soliloquy
for the lack of intellection
and for the simple company
of another

some days, your careless words or actions
hurt me to an inexplicable extent
on such occasions, I remind myself
of the reasons I was #bewitched by you
love isn't effortless always
it's a story starting from the happily ever after

Magpie needed repairs and Dylan had neglected her, despite the Allied Factions giving him the resources. Repairs took time he didn’t have.
But he remembered the first time he saw her, when she #bewitched him, and he couldn’t put it off any longer. He smoothed over the battered frame.

No #consolation bright enough
to lift the gloom of lost years.
But--here--let me sit: lay your
sighs upon my shoulder.
Together, soon,
may we rise.

no wonder
we came to fear curses
day after day
our hearts are led
by invisible stories
arriving and departing
at their whim,
as if the soul were caught
in turnstile spell

Back in my days
Of eating Pop Tarts
In my footed pajamas
My mornings would start
With Captain Kangaroo
And progress to reruns
Of #Bewitched on a
Black and white television
With an aerial on the roof
I was reared by my parents
And that flickering box

Nora mused, "As a child in the 80's, my friend and I loved the hat department, trying on hats. I recall a #magenta one with big feathers. We laughed so much!" Bob said she surely pulled it over her eyes and ears, calling out how dark it was. Nora nodded and laughed.

Looking back
on my wedding day,
I see now
I should’ve run away.
#Augury and omens
I ignored
for the boy
I adored.
A butterfly fluttered
My bouquet fell from my hand.
A baby cried.
He lost our wedding band.
Years have passed;
we bicker and fight.
I wish I’d heeded
the warnings that night.

she fell at his feet
he brushed her aside
walking by
without remorse
falsely #chivalrous
nothing more
than polished armor
dressing up
a scoundrel’s soul

"This #Vespertine perfume fits perfectly for an evening out, Bob. I'm putting it on my Santa list." Nora gave him a cheeky smile. Bob hummed, knowing the lists always found their way to him, and truth be told, he wouldn't want it any other way.

We should have stopped speaking with each other after the big argument. We did not. You made me tea the next morning. We talked for hours about everything and nothing. This was how #suave we had always been. Nothing could keep us apart, not even ourselves.

He chats idly with the bar man eyes darting around looking for possibility. He thinks he’s #suave, sophisticated but we know he’s a poor man’s James Bond. All flash & no cash. We hang nearby like a group of grazing gazelle. He heads over with a swagger. ‘Not tonight Oddjob,’ one of us says. #vss365

At some points in Dylan’s life, he had done a fair impression of being #suave, looking debonair, rakishly handsome, even. These days he looked like a space tramp. Something the leaders of the Factions fighting The Enemy wanted to change because, like it or not, Dylan had responsibilities.
