Little #poem cross posted from Mastodon. #poetry #poetrycommunity #writing
Screen capture of a poem. The poem reads as follows. engineered romances smooth like doll parts or the tortured shapes we're all cut-up to match aligned so well we can no longer be loved and are only wanted for convenience every striving for more used against us to our breaking but if we're lucky enough of us is left we can gather our shattered moments like sweeping up after a brawl in a gallery and finding fragments of masterpieces obscured beneath the pedestrian varnish sort and gather our original selves together like smashed vase pieces or shredded drafts boil desire's powdered bones in hot tears for the glue we need step outside the plan and gift ourselves to one another raw and sore and barely held together but true and fierce and flexible and yearning to be remade well and often 26 October 2025 - kludge.

Poem. empty roomed runaway hearts skittering because maybe love maybe and yes and yes and yes and and something like rain wholesome like being held with no bills due and maybe later yes and maybe and shower memories you can't cry in there water kisses and drowns

rush, flow and burble
yearn for such clean tears, for grief
so unpolluted

churning water - sand cradles
the land's slow yearning

Hard work hurts
When the main perk
Is intrinsic
Monetary not being mentioned
Isn’t a factor
It’s division
Kindness given
But not paid backwards
Thanks’ omitted
Entitled tension
With a grimace after
Empathy missing
No handshakes or laughter
No heir of recognition
Just pleased or disaster

An image of a poem. It reads: lacking constant biochemical maintenance i will dissolve though earlier than most - before death the fermented swamp will empty the city the walls will run wet mourning the bounce and ricochet of conversation the choices chosen and the libraries soaked to bloat and loss and carrion birds sliding the edged wind will scold the absence that gouged the still proud buildings so hollow

Back from the edge,
I stare at the blank
screen and type
these few words.

Scared.
Precipice.
Answers.
Why?
Broken.

Claim to know
what's next?
Not me.

Right now,
hunger and
longing
keeps
me alive.

From the prompt 'windmill'.

constant
in inconstancy
forever pursuing
the lover
just blown past
forever following
restlessly reaching
in the hope
of one more
transient
caress
