No one saw the squad of four #slip through the bay
A shadow void their wake
They just held station
Waiting for the target to pass a headland into open sea
Then they would close the gap and make the kill
For now they watched the matriarch direct
Small flicks of fluke and fin
Orca in full flow

#Drizzle cake
The kind of cake that soaks you through
Succulent and soft but with crystalline edges
Citrus cutting through
Sharp but not drawing blood

The harbour had become more unsafe over recent years
A lack of care and maintenance was allowing winter storms to put our boat in peril, so reluctantly we made the decision to #unmoor and move on
They'd been happy years but we would have to risk the open sea now, and hope for clement weather

And then someone saw the answer
As it was built they could #bend and curve it, until they had put him on the inside
Everyone else on the outside
All were happy
Even him
As he had his wall

Whenever I've really looked at you
You have always been the same
Other people #bend to you
Knowing they'll be warmed by your love

With what colour thread
Will the day warp it's #loom
As we climb out of bed
Will our weft make it bloom?

Fear the leather seated car
Which sits in direct summer sun
And so develops heat to #sear
Great strips of flesh from anyone
Wearing shorts

The slightest misalignment
A scarcely perceived sound
Each serendipitous moment
#Wonky 's where the beauty's found

For people out in the Bluesky who make a living from #Photography, what do you do when you find out your photos have been used without permission or even due credit?

Even the moon can look lost and alone in the expanse of what is the morning sky.

It was always illuminating listening to him ramble on and the levels of hypocrisy were #unmissable when he threatened to intervene if foreign protests were subject to authoritarian violence, when his own henchmen cracked down on them at home.

The chill came from his deadpan #delivery.
He would rely on his conscience to rein in his power.

I said that it showed such a great amount of hubris.

He said thank you.
