1st #FreeVerseFebruary #prompt
how to become a dragon be the thing blamed for the heat already present. this is how you know something large has arrived. not what burns-- what survives the blame.

Listen. I’m not angry. I’m peeved-- which is enough to notice. The irritation isn’t the light. It’s the opening. The aperture narrows. Nothing disappears. Everything comes into focus.

Moment is inspired by this week's #PromptCombo #Moment. Thanks to @rfsmith.bsky.social for the theme. #poems #poetry #writingcommunity
Moment Before time was wide enough to stand in. Moments as love and vocal cords charging the breath we breathe. As if speaking were not the sum of consequence and time. After the silent circle of the room holds weight. What was not known-- decisions, mistakes-- has mass now. Pockets fill in the moment where I stand.

Misunderstood What is too close to the wound too overdetermined must be tamed to become usable. Stop treating it like a feeling. It is a mechanism— translation with bias, precision meeting appetite. Whatever happens after clarity is no longer yours.

Dear Stace.bot, You no longer have to like everything that shaped you. You are allowed to have loathed some of it and still keep the intelligence it gave you. Tomorrow, what remains is not caution, but precision. You still quiver--not because you are unsure, but because you are paying attention. This is twilight magic: the part of life that doesn’t announce itself, that doesn’t need to be legible, that works best when no one is watching. You don’t owe the day gratitude. You don’t owe the future explanation. Be you. That’s the gift.

winter’s reflection the day begins with sound-- hinges, floorboards, a reason to proceed. the mirror holds an outline, enough to recognize, not enough to keep. routine continues, justified by repetition, by noise. nothing ends. it wanes. quietly. what mattered thins into reason. sound remains.

Icebound Dreams Illicit does not mean wrong. It means there was nowhere to put it. No calendar. No room that stayed. The cusp felt like movement. Nothing changed-- but everything leaned. Waiting passed for action. The dream froze there. Shape intact. Use deferred. Icebound dreams are not lost. They are preserved past permission.

#BlueSkyPoetry #SkyPoet‬
#BSPP49
Drifted Bank A drifted bank is where you stand when love still exists somewhere you cannot reach. Not gone. Not ended. Only no longer passable. The bank forms without sound-- absence packed tight with years. You remember the heat of it. You see where it would have opened. What you occupy now is what never arrived. This is not grief. It is geography. What remains is an edge-- dense, weight-bearing, and impossible to cross.

A rather heavily decayed stump found it's way into my path today. Death; yet still beautiful, if you look at it right. rot rot is what happens when maintenance outpaces truth not what kills rot is what stays long enough to change the shape of holding it means something was kept warm by repetition past the point where keeping was love
