she came
wrapped like a package
in a city
cardboard box
#thrum
life doomed before it started
her mamma was lost.
the father just a label
you see
he came for a ride
already set
his eyes
on deflowering
a new prize

i remember
him calling my name
running as fast as i can
landing in the shed
playing dead
just a #quiver
for I am small
still rehearsing
how not to be eaten
and become
the rain

Hello Word Weavers!

Your #vss365 #prompt for Jan 28 is #quiver.

Song: Deconstruction - Indigo Girls
Lyrics:
“And as for the truth it seems like we just pick a theory
It’s the one that justifies
Our daily lives
And backs us with #quiver and arrows”

haunted attics
a bizarre combination
dissecting the right keys
gorgeous rusty records
where crimson and clover
once stood in melody
as a nuanced harmony
spinning a viable thread
and all notes are not lost

i figured out
life
it took until the final ride
it ain't
bout power
money
or things
the #wane of friends

its the footprint
I've left in the sand
leaving the world
after i'm gone

I was there
As witness
On the day
The planet died

The moment
Clueless hubris
Morphed into
Fatal pride

Was no
Gentle #waning
We were here,
And then we weren’t

We birthed
Too many madmen,
Who left Earth
Bombed and burnt

muted cry of a child
silenced
then used as a #ruse
to divide us
between what's right
and what's wrong

old tired song
blood stained hands
clutching homemade signs

whistles against tear gas
cameras against guns

muted cry of child
for mama
for papa
chained in a pen

when moving
forward
there will be
slipping
back

blinded for a time
beating ourselves up

but change takes
several tries
keep pedaling
you will find
your stride

life's overnight drive
hard drizzle pelts my windshield
wipers struggle to keep up
but there's a spot of clear 
low in my hazy window
and a set of taillights ahead
- red and bright in the gloom -
the driver probably not even realizing
they're helping me find my way home

dusk, and outside my window,
#drizzle gathers on autumn leaves -

tiny beads sparkling before they fall, each one catching a bit of the fading light

The ancient sleeping giants woke and saw what we had done to the planet. Their tears, a #drizzle at first, later caused massive flooding. The ice caps melted, the salinity of the oceans changed, the planet #froze.
The giants, made for the cold, walked the planet again.

it had rained for so long
all over the world
that no one could understand why
they looked for answers in the stars
prophecies
in the bible
and the quran

one day it drizzled
before the sun rose
we were different
hearts had shifted
within every woman
man and child

There’s a lullaby up in the sky
Waiting to be caught-sung

Not tonight
Not tonight though

Tonight
I just want to hear the rain
Drum through

The nights
Absence of you

A wise old man
Once told me
BEST TO #BEND
INSTEAD OF BREAK

But lately
All this bending
Is bout all
That I can take

It’s time to keep
My back straight
& call out
The things I hate

Since my enemies
Are creeping
It’s best
I be awake

To meet them
On the battlefield
Cuz everything’s
At stake

i watched her
gait slow
with purpose
the last chapter of life
pausing to #bend
pick up a piece of trash
or scoot a little bug out of trouble's way
i don't know why she had this effect on me
the need to go to her
tuck her arm in mine
ask for the wisdom of her youth

then
she was gone

jewels are a given
they seem to show up
at a time
when needed the most
then gone
like a wintry season
a voice that settles you
or a listening place
in honor of my friend George

this is not a poem
this is so hard for me
news brings tears
I don't recognize folks I used to call friends
maybe its because Im a person of color
maybe its because my heart is heavy
maybe its self serving for they may come for me next
its tough the #writingcommunity gives me hope #trump

thick fog
clings to the fields
a damp grey
that swallows
tractors and fences

I can’t see the chapel
or the dog
barking somewhere
behind the mist

all I can feel
is the cold
pulling at my cuffs

a crow calls
distant
unsure
and somewhere
a gate creaks open

a dusty well-worn path
always leads to the same place
safe, predictable,
routine, pedestrian
only when you
#veer off course
will you know
will you feel the wonder
the thrill of great adventure
innovation, discovery, originality
so why not just look up
and let the stars be your guide
