The #peek scurried up a trunk and along a branch, disturbing a whisper of ghostly leaves. It paused at the very tip before leaping to a round and round landing inside the left lense of a girl's binoculars, where it rolled up tight inside the blink of an eye before seeping out into her mind.

"Libertine?" Ladislaw paced around the room. He noticed all of Casaubon's books had gone and how the mice typed with such #verve, barely a quiver of recognition of him in their whiskers. Their ears turning like satellite dishes, picking up distant signals ready to be decoded and reported.

Never a green light
At the pelican crossing
An old flame sweeps past

Term has started and a quiet has settled on the library and the river. Don't forget to take a break and look out of the window. It's too beautiful to miss.

Goodnight.
‘Oh whence do you come, my dear friend, to me
With your golden hair all fallen below your knee
And your face as white as snowdrops on the lea
And your voice as hollow as the hollow sea?’ The Poor Ghost, Christina Rossetti. #31DaysOfHalloween
🖼️ Aksel Johannessen, c.1920.

Ghostly woman in a white dress and with blonde, bobbed hair stood beneath a tree at night with a bench beside her and a fence and green shrubs and trees behind, painting.

Words linger in the darkness
Like moths hoping and restless
Fluttering around cold wicks
Remembering light once fixed

Most people who commit murder have a nose, therefore, noses cause murder. The new RFK scientific method. Off with the nose

The liberated teen tossed his graduation cap skyward, declaring emancipation from high school. Two hours later, he declared himself a #libertine of leisure—wine replaced with energy drinks, orgies with video game marathons. Freedom was unlimited access to TikTok and four-cheese pizza rolls.
