Storm's coming. The charge in the air put her hair on end, makes her heart race. Donning her heaviest #raincoat, she leaves, feigning illness. The drizzle nibbles her cheeks, every drop a #piranha, tearing flesh.
You're not that sweet.
No, she's tears and tides, Lot's wife, slowly melting. #vss365

MoonSea Log Entry Day 251:

Our automated reef-bots keep the kelp clear as we prep the divers, their lensed eyes shimmer in the dawnlight. 0630: Bridge watch noted, unexpectedly, the bots rising higher, circling the pontoons, blades glinting. Someone joked #piranha, the name has stuck.

She screamed when her boyfriend collapsed to a #knee. The #raincoat kept spatter to a minimum as the storm washed his life away. The Headless Horseman, #incarnate and reborn, turned on her with no mercy and collected skulls.

It was a dark
And stormy night.

"Best put on my #raincoat
And galoshes," I said staring at the rain drenched pavement and wishing wistfully for a spring day full of sunshine as if I gave a toss about anything.

Being Gen X, however, I opted to watch telly and eat soup from the can.

What’s that #thing called… the one that flares on the #top with a click…yea, like a mushroom… revealing one lanky leg…

… you mean an “umbrella”?

Yeah, no, I mean…the other one…instead of that one…the clingy one…

#Raincoat?

Yea, damn! Now I know why I married you!

I remember
Rainy schooldays
Before I was old enough
To tag along
My two older cousins
Would each don
A #raincoat
Yellow and heavy
Fireman worthy
I had assumed
When my time came
To go to school
In the pouring rain
I'd be provided
With a marvelous coat
As well
Alas, no

"Why would I give my kid a #raincoat? Waste of money."
"What about an umbrella?"
"Luxury."
"You don't want your kid to be dry and not catch cold?"
"Cold? That's nature's way of saying, hey, you're the one who's gonna survive, not the pansy rich weaklings who can afford raincoats."

teardrops

blood, sugar, salt, water
raincoat rivers, oceans
wind and Sun, stolen light
time between clay, iron, limestone

death hovers here
November
no leaves left
teeming angels
singing for a soul

golden egg hearts
tell us what time
it is to die
how much time
we have alive #vss365

Ah, the scent of worship, where the cloud of fresh cologne and perfume integrate into a disgusting miasma of veneration so high the gods need a #raincoat. A place to bend #knee in self-sacrifice designed to gift the affluent in homage to ideals of saving grace in the final moment.

Childhood memories
Vivid in my brain but where
Did I put my phone?

"Please remove card? Umm, yeah, it's removed." She tried again. The pump defiantly stared in return. She pressed the gas attendance button.
"Oh, look at you do do do."
"What? Yeah, um, the pump is stuck..."
"A #raincoat to the #knee, how dare you tease. Mmm."
"Never mind. I'm out."

The day lost its #verve,
crumpled and ochre,
light leeching the brights,
mollifying the western flurries,
leaving us indifferent and aloof.
We follow the patina
of yesterday's argument,
sipping iced tea,
words tracing the horizon
with sardonic lines,
and longer silences;
longer and still.

We lost our #verve
Our shine
Flickering out of existence
As embers drifting away
Lost in the lonely night
A kaleidoscope of colours
Gave way to an implacable wave
Of ashen grey

It was spirit week before the big game at the high school
All the kids were hyped even the coolest of the cool
Connor had worked up the nerve
With tremendous style and verve
To ask Luz to the dance hoping he wasn’t a fool

Lost #verve cause I finally had to block on Bluesky, but @pretty-vulgar.bsky.social is right. Jewelry arrived, not an #earring, but new labret doesn't fit. My woman's raise meant bills finally cleared until $700 to fix the vehicle. #Wind-chime, there now it's a #horrorprompt story.

I yearn to write with verve
Striking line, sharp and bright
Reader's interest I serve
I yearn to write with verve
Let common language swerve
Fill the page, burn with light
I yearn to write with verve
Striking line, both sharp and bright

My whimsy’s gettin’ flimsy
my verve has lost its spark
my mojo is a no go
my passion’s stuck in park
I’m wagin’ It’s the agin’
by noon I start to yawn
no longer play
just sit and say
hey you, get off my lawn.
