The text was brief but saucy: “Big night. Hint: Chocolate sauce, strawberries, underwear. ;D ”

His belt was already halfway off when he got home from work. She was on the couch in a t-shirt and some old panties, remote in hand.

“Game of Thrones marathon!” She chimed. “Did you go shopping like I asked?”

FFM22 07: The Wall

1 “Not now, Benson! I’m catching up on FFM!” Mick howled, eyes trained on their laptop. The steward barged in anyway. “Sir! The digsite! You have to see what we’ve found!” Mick froze. “Why didn’t you call me sooner?” “Dramatic impact, ma’am?” Benson nodded to his white knuckles on the door knob. Mick nodded. “Hold on, I still need to come up with four more words. Benson waited, ever patient. 2 We’d gone looking for lost civilizations; after deforesting and excavating half a South American mountain, we’d found it. I step out of the government-issued humvee, surveying the site through a shiny new pair of 3M 6-Shade Safety Glasses. “Fucking amazing,” I mutter, approaching the monolithic slab. I run a gloved hand over the intricate image carved on the wall. A giant skull, with tentacles. “Benson,” I hiss. “It’s real!” 3 They’d studied for a week before coming to the conclusion that the slab was actually the last remaining wall of an ancient temple, and as

reflective

One minute you will stand watching prior moments drift past your fingertips on kite strings. You will think, I could not have known such things would fly away. You will think, I was happier tied to such fragments of time. You will think, My heart sang for lack of knowledge. My heart leapt for ignorance. Witness now--the mouth of a tunnel, think then on the other end. Close your eyes and fall backward, into the shoes of former selves, envying their blindness to this present. Linger. Then lean back into reality-- your future shouldn't need to wander forward alone.

Life, the flicker of Men and Moths

Where gnarled November makes the white smoke of the farm house in the coal black sky out of what calms Consider: the trees made silver white the cornhusk-shreds a stooped man turning out the lights the stars glittered on the snow and nothing answered the silence magnifies... it was Autumn by the time I got around; of all the things I ought to know that I was mad shuffling for salvation what am I now that I was then? Seeking their peace like a master key without noticing me there beside the clock's loneliness Is nothing lovelier to look at: snow falls torch-like with the smoking blueness shining in the empty room I'll say

garden overgrown, undertaken

live in a house that makes you pantomime home in the liquid gaze of night live in a house cradled by skeletal hands, boney fingers shuttering windows - a house with no mouth filled to the brim with gnashing teeth live in a house you can't stand to breathe in, atmosphering air poisonous venomous to breathe in die in a home to be buried beneath floorboards split sideways by blossoms be lain to rest under the foundation, over the rocks, and watch with dry eyes the rain trickle down through the cracks in the floor live in a home whose name rhymes with grave and know yourself by the inscription on the doorplate above

Without You

last night without you the world did not end, although every building shook. i'm still picking up loose bricks and bits, cleaning house, mending the yard. even now without you. i feel guilty not inviting you. keeping you in the dark. lying-- or at least omitting truths (joyful truths, to be sure)-- to the face of my old friend. still somehow there was fallout. even the absence of you does some damage. even your shadow shakes tables knocks down a drink or two. and this morning it all felt like a dream. like some quaint, sober nightmare. not completely despairing-- rather nice, to be honest-- but still awful like a knife being removed (at last!) from a wound: you can breathe again, for a minute or so, you think, but now there is a new raw, red horror-- the hot sensation of drowning in your own living blood, suffocating, almost, in your own nourishment, breathless, speechless, as the oxygen betrays you, abandons you suddenly. it's almost enough to ask the nurses to put

leaves know the weight

I sense a leak, something vast and nameless passing too quickly to track. I always pretend to grow darker and more intricate, to become more like conversations that only happen at night in careful whispers, as they plummet into their beds. I've watched countless rooms undress, spidering out of their skins through zippers and seams, faces in the walls with anguished shrieks, yet to become the ache of a chair, the skin of a finger whose voice swells in my head. this time, all of the time, whose voice unwraps my secrets when I'm able to remember the weathered ice of this lake. what I dream, hold and keep, what rasps in the wind, what lingers and touches me through the cracks.

Prayer of the Grey

Lord God I pray Allow my soul to know peace If I died today, I’d only have regrets about my life My whole existence is scarred Charred with the reality thereof So I pray to the skies above Can I get a pardon? I feel like a mortar Set to fall as others live What about my time, Lord Do my tears not scream will I feel like I’m done That I’ve given all I can I’m so tired God Can I have a pillow? Even though I still breathe I feel like I’m on death row My pain being recorded Just to give others energy flow I have scars all over my souls body Tormented and abused Praying to you to cut me loose Reveal to me the truth Praying to you Lord Please Tell me What am I to do? What am I? 10/24/23

most of us go quietly

with birth we are 'opened' - death we are 'shut' we cooperate - generally live 'flowingly' - but some exist to be fondly recalled - we suppose others are purposely popular - in nice clothes unless one invents 'the better mousetrap' receives The Nobel or whatever nice crap is amazingly famous - or infamous-ly known our one parting shot will be on our gravestone beneath it - we'll molder away for a while after keeping this mindful thru-out our last mile: the cosmic and random had brought us thus far we were never the focus - truly - never the star llp - dA - mar2022

poetry: spring of dreams

unfettered lies liaisons of beings fear of the truth my crystal tears maiden in white tufts of dandelions no fury, no agony close your eyes symphony of purity kaleidoscope of peace breeze embalming the body sweet, sweet dreams when I die play this song and think of me as I dance at the spring of dreams

Flash-Fic-Month July 27, 2014
Challenge: None today, but then there was a mini-challenge in the chatroom: "Write a 55'er involving strawberries and chocolate within 15 minutes. Whichever one makes TheSkaBoss giggle hardest wins."

I did it for fun, with the idea that I was going to write a 'real flash fic' for the day afterwards... But apparently I made her giggle hardest, so I figure I might as well just call this one done for the day. Apparently the last three days of FFM are all challenges, so I don't feel guilty taking the easy way out.
