Five forest fairies
Held the iron
Over my hand
Ready to #sear
My flesh
Demanding
That I pay
For the damage
To their tunnels
Once more
I rolled my eyes
And tried to convince
Them it wasn't me
The leader sat back
And asked "Why are
Ye not afraid?"
I laughed "Well it's
not plugged in."

he gazes at her face every night
and every morning
trying to #sear its contours in his mind
yet, every time
he touches the canvas with his brush
it slips away
like gathering mist in his palm,
so he paints the sea instead
its many moods and colors
and she sees herself.

“...You have my #heartfelt thanks,” said Viola Nacht, leaving behind several dismembered informants from the Ashe family.
Her familiar followed, avoiding the blood. “If that’s how you show gratitude, milady, I’d hate to see what happens when you don’t get your way.”

I’m lying, face down
On the floor
Back pinned
Neath copper’s knee
E’er other body
In the room?
Bad men,
Killed dead by me.
The copper
Is a rookie
I could take her
1-2-3
Thoughts #sear my brain
As I search way
She lives…
While I go free

IN THE hour when the sun sets
behind the mountains—
the sky deepening shades of blue
clouds cotton-candy pink,
and the world: silence between notes
I feel that tug
#heartfelt enduring
distant Mozart, faintly on the breeze.

Guiding Magpie toward the ship’s hangar bay, Dylan could see it had been heavily modified. It looked #wonky, lopsided. Not that it mattered in space.
The Antilles, which, of course, he already knew the crew called ‘The Anthill’. A small warship, barely worthy of the name. His now.

A True Story About Our Travels to Antarctica
Crossing borders and time zones, we flew
Catching sleep a real test for us two
If not for daylight
Till eleven each night
I'm sure we'd feel #wonky and blue

toiling chipping away conducting
semi solely solar focused
us behind we watch our time go by
to the crude future we forfeit the arduous game
to claim a sustainable future
in the making
for the taking

He #wanders the house alone, no #staff in sight, drawn each night to one #object.
The #wonky portrait shows a bloody beast with a puzzled expression. He stares, unsure why.
At last the truth hits him.
It's not a portrait.
The beast smiles, and he smiles with it.

Bewilderering
Another none word
A wonky view
I'm screwed in the normal world
No doubt of this
I live in a 4th or perhaps 5th dimension
I look up the meaning of a word
Consider it
Decide the best fit and then I dream
From there I exist
Refuse to explain the air I breathe
I fold thro the word

she has that #wonky wobble
of hips
trying too hard
slips
into my space
her odd angles
fitting somehow
tries to slot me
into a calendar
w/out room
hoping
i might orbit her
w/out purpose
an extra part
she might some day need
floating aimlessly
desire on a string
i think i see my stop

What a weird wonky day
Nothing I did or say
Came out straight
It started with me leaving early
To arrive at school
Twenty minutes late
I tried to explain
My car tyres
Had turned to Jelly
Real wonky wobbly jelly
The children laughed
Hard with their bellies.

The universe is wonky
Everything’s askew
A fissure in reality
Divides now me from you
The Milky Way spins backwards
Widdershins it runs
If only time ran backward too
To the place where it begun
Before this all did happen
Before we sealed our fate
Before the singularity
Before it was too late
