A soulless man, with an empty grin.
They've opened up the asylum doors.
I could have been anything.
No DM's unless we're dating.

A Black and White photo of her.
But her lips are moving,
as empty eye sockets
stare, as they bleed.
I think she's crying for help,
I think she's dying alone.
A Black and White photo of her,
as she laughs,
and she's at peace again,
she's Sixteen again,
she's alive again,
in a Black and White photo.

Writers belonging lies in thresholds of air. In doorways. In the halt. They root themselves in living & leaving. On the horizon that stings & the proximity that steadies. Their chosen ground is the almost illicit border where worlds blur. Or begin.

From scraps of silence trembling beside sudden bursts of thought, a story we have long feared begins to gather. Farewell to the hesitant preludes! Make a place for a raw soliloquy. What was stifled has finally found the ribs to break through.

My muse
Gives me life
Brings me death
Deals with gloom
And shows me love
They give me words
They let me #soliloquy
Through a pen
And it’s ink
And yet none of this
Do they know

Reform accepted £9 million from a former Boris Johnson backer & crypto-multimillionaire.
Today, Nigel Farage postures as a righteous defender of the same democracy he actively undermines.
Democracy should never be for sale. It's time for a cap on political donations.

Hit a snag on the way to his date
A duck with no feet
Tried to cross the main street
And freeing the fowl made Nate late.

Diving in
My bathyscaphe,
Deep sea’s
#Aphotic
Depths
Searching
Mythic
Sea monsters
And ancient
Pirate chests
I see
A sight
So surreal
As I
Just sail along
4 British
Blokes
In yellow sub
Singing
60s songs
Maybe
I have
Sailed too deep
And stayed down
Way too long…

#vss365 Working the reskin farms was dull but cushy, compared to most other security gigs. Raised from exowomb to adulthood and then cryostored or shipped off for harvest, left their wards predominantly in an induced coma.

Nights had run long for weeks now, but, ultimately, day and night were ephemeral concepts when you spent most of your time in space.
Dylan caught the #reflection of his face on one of Magpie’s consoles and mused that it was a good thing he wasn’t in a proper military.
He looked a mess.

I see in my
#Reflection
Vivid mirror of my peace
But something
Always mars it
Sure as sunrise in the East
The ripples
Never bother me
Not one bit in the least
I build my joy
On gratitude
A choice my own to keep
So even when
The gruel is thin
I claim it as my feast

Rory had made many mistakes while playing the game. Upon #reflection, most of those mistakes were largely his own fault, but that was the beauty of the game. Mistakes weren’t fatal.
Well, they quite often were, but mortality in the game was a rather fluid affair and being dead temporary.

If your greatest wish
For your desired future
Is a stellar career as a seer
Then you need to acquire
An inquisitive eye
A crystall ball
And know when to step
Into the looking glass
Telling futures
Changes them
Tricky to do more than stare
And see more
Than your own reflection
If your greatest wish
For your desired future
Is a stellar career as a seer

Nora kept staring at her #reflection in the mirror. "Are you sure these fake-lashes are not too much? I chose a modest pair." Bob assured her that everyone at the party would love them. She deserved a night of glam.

The ships screamed overhead, within the atmosphere of the moon, and Dylan checked the auto-chronometer. Fast, but simply not fast enough. They needed to eke out more speed, more manoeuvrability, more everything,
He called up and told them to do it again, #timed once again until they got it.
