the way I felt,
is beyond a letting in,
soft and sweet,
singing a rune,
that flesh,
the color of a summer moon,
the feeling of a festive June,
I felt loved,
eating a ripe Papaya!.

this strange feeling,
trying to grasp the moment,
for it to flee to the second.
whilst the second races the minute,
consumes the hour.
the hour, surely, devours the day,
and many days deflower the body
and retain the soul, forever.

two sea lions, half dipped on the water near the beach. They are looking at a huge dead whale on the sand, hovered by people, seagulls and what not;

- !!.

- it's looking at you!. Don't you see the 'Help Wanted' sign on the food shack.

'my desire
to build an empty city,
has meta-sized'.

thought the thoughtful cadre,
'I must dream a mouse
in the luster of its corridors.
but only one!'.
uttered loudly,
raising an index.

then shook the head, refuting.
the thought of a happy mouse
in a cat-free fields
felt ruinous.

one morning,
swung my feet out of bed,
they felt wet,
the night flood is here,
to stay!.

I can't laugh it off.
I can't cry it out!.

music is a repetitive sound
words are carved and empty
floating wooden boxes.

I named this flood,
though it already had one,
depressed on the wood!.

cheers to that. I farmed Okra, she is a generous plant. I love steaming it a little and mixing it with other vegetables for a salad!.

diving deep,
I reach the lyrics,
on the river bed.
on one breath,
I sing an anthem!.

there,
I find a room,
I set a bed,
I sleep,
and dream a liberty.

my liberty lady,
my pelican,
my summer tube,
my eternal breed.

The Tarot reader, who I met in a social event and mind you I am not an ardent believer, caught her laugh before fully maturing when I told her I am a Gemini who is not having the best of luck lately. She captioned 'the cosmos is having a storm'. Say no more, I am in the eye!.

Time has a shadow, it is called fate,
It carefully curates the dates,
for apples and worms to meet

he looks at me,

from the window of a hardcopy photo.

we become encased in a gaze.

chaos of any moment wraps us all.

words distract a traffic man,

inflate a delay,

for a fish to meet a net.

or not!.

I bet people, on a thought experiment, to imagine the sounds our sun makes, the resonance of its boiling core. Then I challenge them to perceive that the dissonance a humans' hate can afflict less pain to a fellow human than having them thrown into that boiling soup. Do you think I often lose?. #vss

I opened my tools box,
to fix a broken day.

my hands rushed to despair,
which I threw behind my back.
I set aside an amendment,
It might help.

then, I found resolve,
with yellow handles of grit,
when I held it up close,
It quacked like a rubber duck.
and that my friend, what I embraced.

everyday,
something good,
got to happen,
somewhere,
to some folks,

ton tim ba ba,

those neurons' mines,
often promise me vain.

keep me all night long,
toss and turn.

when they sigh,
they sigh me songs!.

songs I sing then I feel alright,
I am ok!.

am alright,
am ok!.

ton tim ba ba,

I am actually nostalgic for the bright future of humanity.

SpeakFlowers @speakflowers.bsky.social · Jul 12

how I wish
how I wish I was there,
I am just one odd soul,
swimming in a huge sea swell
running over new grounds
year after year,
and how we've found
ways not to meet in here.
how I wish I was there.
