Relic of Mom's hands
The colors of fifty years
Her warmth still guards me

Resistance is

going to the park
reading at the library
viewing handmade art
laughing with your friends
drinking water
eating healing meals
writing poetry
living

there is no more getting lost
exploring the depths of the forest
it is gone now
burned to ash
the old wisdoms obliterated
an incendiary wind claiming their stead
threatened by every new spout

I woke up
In World
Where everyone
Was made of glass

Yet and still
We fall to tribes
With walls
No one can pass

Even though
We look alike…
Still find pretext
To #clash

Does sapience
Doom us to
Nitpick
Until we crash?

Choose love.
Choose peace.
Choose kindness.
Choose to keep searching bookstores, crumbling castles, and dark parts of the forest for portals to other realms, where reading & sleeping are celebrated sports.

Drone

Wandering in circles
Without moving my feet
Trying to find earplugs
For my thoughts

A dark space, association free
A place in me to just
Breathe.
Everything in here leads to
Something..someone ..someplace
I have been, or should have been or was
I just need the quiet. To find out
What I could do if it's quiet

Here's my effort

#vss365
London Crawling

London crawls
eats me raw,
spits back
clash-stains, vowel-bites.

History’s zipper
stuck halfway.
notional anthems
rewritten on the skin
of petty vacant revolutionaries
who graffiti
“I Was There Too”
on post-fact
walls.

But
none
of it was true.

The new moon sighs
Where’s the wisdom
Once, apricity reigned the skies

I think this
From my abode below
Haunting mausoleum

#Clash I, with celestial spells
Tainted desires savage
Fighting like a dark lord titan

Summer a myth
Wisdom sighs content
Within darkness

ruptured heavens ram
titanic cymbal clash
reverberating
rocking the earth

I clasp my ears,
drums shattering
nose hemorrhaging,
brain bleeds
head lolls
eyes roll back
and my soul shudders,
Wakening

Be safe, and don't you dare go hollow.

4 panel comic, une bunny and a witch cat are sitting around the fire, preparing dinner.
Dialogue goes :
"So, you're a Brush bearer, an Artist"
"Are you still painting?"
"I am"
"Hah! No way ! with the world on the verge of collapse and hoe fading day by day, you think art still matters?"
"Now more than ever..."
