#vss365 #past

I collect memories in the people closest to me. Boxes of random papers and photos pile up waiting to be riffled. At any time, I can choose to inhabit who I am.

#vss365 #jovial His jovial nihilism made it easier to forget anything mattered to her. It was ok for a while until it wasn't. Then she had to try even through the discomfort and self-manufactured pain.

#vss365 #bass

She placed both hands on her face and grinned at her. The club was dark with the appropriate lights to confuse. She felt the bass in her bones. "You are the sexiest dancer."

#vss365 #seethe I'm tired of listening to bad advice and then seething when it invariably goes wrong. My instincts are overwhelmed by the need to cater to people's feelings. I wish I had the grace to decline respectfully and the assurance that it was the right decision.

She woke up earlier than usual. Trudy needed to be milked. The chickens fed. The laundry washed and hung to dry. Sailor mewed plaintively at her feet, his fur covered in tiny bows. She picked up the old cat and gingerly returned his dignity.

#vss365 #mischief

I was never a mischievous kid. I stole strawberries from a kind neighbor, fed poisoned flies sugar in a toy teapot, and dropped ancient clay shards like breadcrumbs from the deep forest to home.

#vss365 #sapphire

The grandmother gave a necklace to each granddaughter. Pretty and stones like sapphires. One placed the necklace on the nightstand and in a rush left it in the hotel. She never told her parents and silently said her goodbyes on each passing mile.

#vss365 #together

No ticket. No ID. She left her backpack in the room trying to escape a weird situation. She got on the bus and the driver understood she was desperate to get home. She knew she could no longer be together with him. She will find the courage to end it in the daylight.

#vss365 #taffeta

You were cute in your rainbow taffeta skirt and golden horn headband. I was trussed like a turkey. We were delighted when the town crier let us know the national animal.

I search for the collapsed mother for my sake and hers to heal what would paralyze every decision, sour every memory, and steal every moment.

#vss365 #nostalgia

Nostalgia steals from the present moment and a sanative future. It was never better back then. That's a lie of complacency and hopelessness.

I held her the moment she transformed from one aspect to the next. She sighed in contentment and let go.

#vss365 #starscape
They coined a word to name a part of nature they feared losing sight of in the relentless pursuit of progress. So I need to be careful when I realize she's my starscape. The artificial light will hide her.

I am a fisher, hesitant to throw out the net, to let the line sink into the watery depths. The Skeleton Woman looks up impatiently from below but waits until I'm hungry enough.
