#cwh — Public Fediverse posts

Soft spines in rows
Tussled about by air currents
Take me to new heights

Shiver in cold boots
Commemorating the lost
Unnamed grave markings

Winter is coming
No need to fear
Song birds fly south
I watch with a tear

Last honey cell sealed
Us worker bees ejected
This full moon, our last

Fallen on hard times
A thousand tiny wrinkles
Prematurely grey

Her crisp white dress
Of morning fog
Was stained by a drop of blood
As down fell crimson
Crimson, crimson
Down fell the crimson blood of their own

No one’s winning
No one’s losing
Well how did you expect it to be?
This is a stalemate
This is the end
Of who I thought I’d be

I won't wash dishes
Like you forced me as a child
Alone, ears straining

I have grown beyond
Being hidden while men chat
Your dominance drained

It is hungry
It wants to be fed
It wants its dinner
Water swirls as it moves
The quiet pool is an illusion
Gibberish escapes from your mouth
As you try to scream
And though you survive
Everyone thinks you’re crazy
And they lock you up

Vivid
Kneeling on the floor
Making love to porcelain
Eject vivid dream

Alter
A few simple steps
Photoshop makes me perfect
Alter everything

Who do you see
When you look at me
Do you see me…
Or who
You want me to be

Who do you see
When you look at me
Do you see me…
Or who
I’m pretending to be

Who do you see
When you look at me
Is it me…
Or an idea
A mask made by me

Shadows

Shadows are the sign of light
Would light hold witness
Without the darkness?

Shadows betray a person’s presence
They reach around corners like marquees
Follow up and down trees

Shadows are always present
Even on the darkest night
They are there when we can’t see them
Waiting for the light

Wraith

Mist
White, clean
Drifting, enchanting, concealing
Veil, phantom, shroud, ghost
Haunting, hiding, vanishing
Grey, deadly
Fog

Image Description: A tall, dark green, evergreen rises up from the dark treeline into a sky grey with fog.

This night of bleakest hopelessness
Tries to swallow me whole
Some days I cannot fight it
But I will not relinquish to its hold

I will rise trying
I will get up and keep fighting
For a tiny soul who calls me mommy
I will not accept its inviting

I’m alone in the dark
And it’s fine
And it’s fine
And it’s fine

I’m alone in the dark
It’s not fine
I just lied
I just lied…
