Follow it backward past the scrubs, past the ward, past mercy:
it was warmth beading from skin hidden deep in the burrow.
It meant only this: keep the small mouth fastened to the world.
Much later, we gave the word a uniform.
And somewhere behind a utility door,
nurture learned its own hunger.#MastoPrompt

Before throat learned the air, I grunted water.
Muscle worried bladder; bone complained to bone.
The sea took my small displeasure
and carried it beyond flesh.
Four hundred million years later,
it lives in your low wordless complaint.#MastoPrompt

"When can we stop?" the barbarian wheezed.
Behind them, the ogre roared, its feet pounding rocks to gravel.
"Soon." The rogue kept up his effortless stride. "We only need to #exhaust it, then we can turn and fight."
His burly companion glanced back at the TWO ogres now on their trail and picked up his pace. "I've a better idea. Let's keep running."

The day came when there were no more silver pipes running the length of the motorcycles. The twin stacks belching smoke behind the cab of the pickups were silent. The roar of the Harleys was no longer a thing. The rear end of cars looked different because there was no longer a need for a pipe for #exhaust . No longer a need to worry about starting a car in a closed garage. Smog was gone in cities
It was strange. It was different. But we could breathe.

#Wss366 #Mastoprompt #ScribesAndMakers 11/22“...But I did not shoot the #deputy…” Bob Marley’s wail trailed off as our car stalled.
“I told you to get the car checked,” Rebecca said.
“I did. The mechanic said it was in A1 shape, just some minor gremlins in the electrical system.”
From the back, Claire added, "Or a plot to get two lovely ladies alone on a lonely country road." I could picture her shaking her golden, sausage-curls as she said it, a sly grin on her face.
“Cute,” I replied. I could always count on my daughter to say something clever. But she was right; it was a lonely road. Trees hemmed us in, and large fluffy flakes drifted down between them.
To our left was a yellow steel gate with a “No Trespassing” sign. Beyond, the occasional moon #illuminated a rustic cabin. Weeds poked through the snow casting shadows like claws. The only welcoming thing in the scene was a path where someone had trampled the snow, leading to the building.
“I know it says no trespassing, but I’m going to see if someone is home,” I said, opening the car door.
A blast of arctic air met me, smelling of an upcoming storm. I shivered and pulled my coat tighter.
My girlfriend and her daughter joined me. The younger one explained, “No way we’re letting you leave us. Everyone knows ‘Jack the Gripper’ preys on beauties left alone in stalled cars.”
“It’s ‘Jack the Ripper,’” Rebecca corrected.
“Nya ayh, it’s ‘Jack the Gripper.’ He’s from the game ‘Seven Maidens House.’”
It was too cold for this debate, so I walked over to the gate, which was fortunately unlocked.
The snow on the path crunched underfoot, leaving footprints. The dark, empty windows of the cabin didn’t encourage me. Still, a phone line running to it tempted me onward.
Silence met the door’s rattle when I knocked. I knocked louder, thinking perhaps the owner was asleep. This was also met with silence.
“That's weird,” I heard Rebecca say. “Three mailboxes.”
“This one is too big. And this one is too dented. But this one is just right!”
“Don’t say #cursed things,” Rebecca reprimanded Claire.
“I’m going to see if it’s unlocked,” I called over my shoulder, interrupting their squabbling.
To my surprise, the door opened easily, and flicking a switch produced a warm electric light.The building’s interior was cozy. Three rocking chairs stood in front of a fireplace with wood stacked next to it. A handleless hatchet rested against the pile. To one side, there was a wood stove with more wood. A single frying pan rested on it. In the center of the room was a table with a cheery, red-checkered tablecloth, three place settings, and a mystery soup can. I guessed the door in the back led to a bedroom.
The room's most surprising feature was a ceiling-high bookshelf crammed with leather-bound books. They weren't the collector's type with gold trim and fancy titles, but old volumes weathered by time.

The rookie eyed his boss with amusement. "You're looking a bit green, sir. Was it a #turbulent flight?"
"No, all very smooth. But... the in-flight movie was a cheesy Christmas romance."
"Oh." They both shuddered.

#MastoPrompt #turbulent
@stevencudahy @poetry
#poem #poetryLaminar from first outpouring,
leaping from time's ageless font,
crystal clear, pitch-perfect tone sing,
rippleless, effortless jaunt.Meets with Chrysm's tense meniscus,
plunges 'neath the myrrh's dark skin,
eddies form within the viscous
liquid, whorls and arcs begin.Spiraling and folding over,
twisting round and tight'ning up,
chaos stirs as spirit hovers,
life within the loving cup. -
Boards up at Christmas
Dreary chains sag from doorways
The high street closed down -
"There's nothing left?"
"I'm afraid not." The lawyer shook his head sadly. "In his final months, he became quite extravagant."
"Ah." I forced a chuckle. "I should have expected that from the old #reprobate. Any idea where the money went?"
"Unfortunately, I've not found any records."
"Er..." My eyes widened. "I'm not responsible for any debts, am I?"
"No, of course not."
"That's a relief." Phew. My cover-up plans had worked. Now, on to the next mark.

To wake into a dark morning was
Being ripped from life by the claw
Of a #dreary monster created to kill
What beauty is left.I cannot reason with the beast. It
Doesn’t understand human language
Nor emotion, nor colour, nor soft
Feathers. It has a beak that moves
Only to hack at dreams & stories,& under the skin of its black wings
There are the scars of the creator
Who meshed it together from
Fragments of all the wars.Only dreams can save us.

To ignore her would be
Grievous, when she has
Given him everything
He needed when he
Needed it most; the
Consoling hand of
Friendship and grace,
The forgiving flesh
Of the forgotten
In the abyss of the
Betrayed, the pieces
Of the ladder to
Scale his way out of
The well of exile.But he does, because
He doesn’t see her,
Doesn’t recognise her,
Drugged as he is by
The opium of recovery
And imagined fame
Now he’s a star again. -
attacking others
is a grievous omission
of the love that heals...The #MastoPrompt - #grievous

@tanweerdar #MastoPrompt #grievous
Left with injury,
deliberate act of harm,
suffering great pain. -
As the day broke
a daughters’ role, done
her breath alone
carried on air.Sunk to her knees
all the fight, wilted
her grievous wail
filled the room. -
Like the stars
In main sequence
I collapse
In on myself
Burning elements
Too heavy
To carry.
Soft nova
Into red giant,
White dwarf,
Eons spent
Diminishing.
The only
Unwavering
Thing is
Impermanence. -
The English have an #unwavering faith
In their exceptionalism, at a time
When their empire crumbles away
& only its blood dust remains. The
Old guard remains staunchly racist
With that ingrained
Hatred of all people who are the wrong
Colour. They fall over each
Other & onto their knees at the
Prospect of a new coronation. Such
Inflated importance, when all they are,
The royals included, little limited
People with no skills, no languages,
& no compassion.

They stood by the steep coast. The crystal-clear sky painted the water below blue while the tips of the waves sparkled in the warm Spring sun. In the light breeze, a boat had set its snow white #kite and floated through the water like a cloud through the sky.
The rocks beneath their feet stood #unwavering against the marine surf. The spray of the crashing waves could not reach them,...

Today I have a simple query,
What makes a rainy day
Get described as #dreary?
As a kid I'd quickly dash
To the very biggest puddle
Just so I could make a splash.Off the school bus in a flash.
To give my dog a happy cuddle
Then out the door in a flash
To play till I was truly weary.
And in my memory replay
Rainy days are mostly cheery.
