Makes the perfect dirt nap box

Our reacquaintance
Stirred a #hiraeth of my youth
Played together then
Reunited played again
In a very different way -
Peddling my shoddy wares
to a world that ain't buying
sure takes it's toll
on this cynical soul
as the stained walls
of my motel room
slowly engulf weary meThis bottle of cheap whiskey
will have to suffice
to drown this vagabond's life
in a 90 proof sea
of #hiraeth longings -
I hold in my grasping hands
an aluminum can
of precious processed beansA nutritious and delicious source
of fiber and protein
vacuumed sealed
to prevent outside contaminationThe proper device of entry
is now required
to penetrate this stubborn
protective containerI have the tool, but not the power
for it seems the electric current is out(Serves me right for not paying the bill)
No old school
manual opener to be found
in my kitchen junk drawer
of assorted relicsFeeling substance deprived
frustration gets the best of me
as I fastball fire
the uncooperative can
into the innocent wallOut of sheer spite
and the forces
of acceleration repulsion
the bastard projectile beans
#bounces back
and bops me
in my slow reacting headNow both parties
of this needless conflict
are feeling dented
bruised
and unlovedAnger always leaves a lasting mark

Here in the land of the free
the spotlight always shines
on the #aristocrat elite..Blessed be the wealthy
for they
have inherited
not only the Earth
but the universal narrative
that controls the story
and precious spot light -
In my current non connectivity
static state of locked out panic
I scroll through the thickets..Click on a link
that looks promising
but
I am flung to a dark place
where my ignorance haunts me..Taunted by the cyber scrolls
of software coding nerds
using terms of control
in that mystical language
of the 21st Century Nouveau riche...So here I am
way off the grid...
I have never been so.#discombobulatedI have never been so lost ..
Gonna turn off
all my devices..Get back my life..
Totally unplugged
-
Spinning in space
in designated slots...Time frame assigned...
We keep to the race....
Our transient existence
hangs over us
background #clamor
we choose not to hear..We of the now generation
always demanding
instant gratification..Immediate satisfaction
in our microwave relationships -
It was not an easy door to open.
When she did, #boundless possibilities became, the threshold a #liminal space between #illusion and potential. Arctic desert morphed to #tundra upon new #sentiments that #burnt away the shackles.
A pang of pain, an old #acquaintance, told her, it was not quite yet time to #celebrate.

In the darkest night of my soul, a #hollow scream echoes into the night. Then, #otherworldly silence falls. I catch a #notion of a draft, then realise the giant pendant. It #swings soundless. As it changes direction, a #splash of #cerise illuminates the #celestial canvas.

The Angels explored the izakaya.
"Ugh! There's no shower!" Booboo said.
"There's a public bath two blocks away," Susan said.
Early morning in the city center was quiet.
After showering, they entered the steaming bath and reclined, sighing.
"We should do this every morning," Zsazsa said.
That made everyone sigh, as they were reminded of their uncertain future. Everyone got out except Booboo.
"No! I don't want to go!"
"If you stay in too long, you'll start to #hallucinate!" they warned. -
When I #glance|d at the snow globe with the #fox & the hare #cozy|ing, #water filled my eyes. This #impression! I had my act together, the loose ends rolled up to a neat ball of thread, but some events #traumatize a person. I closed my eyes, confident I'd solve my mind's #puzzle.

The crows tell their tales. Leaves #crunch under feet on #dozy afternoons. #Spirit soars as Winter's bride passes by one last time. Silver, with a #train of golden leaves. #Floral reminiscence. #Fulcrum of season's turn, before the #grove goes to sleep. #Cure for a weary heart.

The day started golden before #gray clouds moved in. Wind lifted leaves and sand fine like #powder. #Entwined in a dance, they twirled through the streets and #garbled the view. When his arms slid around her, she felt a surge like #fireworks. It was those #stolen moments that maintained her #resilience.

'Beware of dogs'.
#Beyond the fence with the sign lay a garden with a #birthday table. She saw the scene through an #hourglass made from #topaz, before the smell of #toast woke her up.
Pondering this #projection of her subconscious, she decided, there was no shame in asking for #help.---

It was a day in #early #November. Somewhere, she heard a crow #lament, mirroring her #constitution. Picking shades from the #kaleidoscope on the pallet, she painted light into the grey, letting the darkness #contract and #fold.

When your world turns black, see through the illusion, so the thorn in your side won't become your gravestone. Take the thrill of the pain to wake up from the graveyard. Don't dread the darkness. Be the light. It's #Halloween, and the veils are thin tonight.

She sees the dragon and does not blink. The monster stares at her, opens its mouth, and breathes fire.
For a moment, panic rises inside, like the flames that surround her. She can feel the migration of atoms in her body, changing her, but not causing harm. One cannot deny the sigil has worked. No esoteric cult did this, but merely an open heart filled with love.
The flames ebb away, and the dragon smiles.

We #close the door to the #whirlwind of the world, to exchange views over tea and scones, grasping for this space that is ours, and ours alone. After the #sun sets, we look at a now #clear sky, #replete with #stars.

I feel a tender touch as your fingers #interlace with mine to mirror the #stage of our hearts & minds. Not feeling #high, but deep, I realise, this is no #weekend romance & no #panacea. It is love; genuine, gentle, giving ... #context to life in this #SharpBeaked world.

#Shorn of everything I thought I knew, I raise my #head to the #infinite sky. A sinking sun causes it to #blush. By the wayside, #aster's purple intensifies before the day goes to #rest. The echo of the #crunch fades while I let go of #opinion.

I screamed to see it gone, but the pain persisted. With it, a #deluge of emotions surged through my body until I cried a #serenade. A #frame of relief to #outfit me, before everything melted down to a #soup of agony, its weight about to #squash me. The room started to #spin, then all was #black.

The curtains stayed open, and when the first dark day of Autumn moved in, she was okay with it. A new and shy feeling after everything that had happened, tucked away in a #sacred corner of her heart, to slowly #mature into new #passion.

Who let out the monsters,
haunting our dreams,
Disguised in the #brambles,
ready 2pounce?The child ran 2me, hugging me tight Frightened& alone,I told her I will never let her go.She'd be safe in my arms, 2always walk in the light.Didn't she know that monsters die in sunlight?#art #pensketch #MixedMedia #digitalart #vss365 #vss365prompt

As the rhetorical #thunderclap
now just outside our walls
grew in volume
we knew the beast named Ignorance
whose threat we had long neglected
would be here by nightfall
to devour pristine truths
which could no longer be protected
by our feckless institutions..Panic now dominated the realm
as blame was dispensed in all directions
by those who were charged with our protection...If only they had applied this new found energy
to combat the insidious forces of Lethargy
which slowly eroded our fortifications
of soon to be useless rubble...A tarnished monument
of society's shameful capitulation
to the forces of darkness -
Earth stopped its spin.
Seeking balance in a #jungle of madness, I don't function. Not a #doll, I am the #infinite, #intrinsic me, whatever that might be. #Thunderclap announces lightning. I'll shine, to see
me.---

"I had to kill him. You have no idea. You never did. No idea how close we were to the poorhouse. I saved us!"
I looked at the "emeralds" she had wrapped in her skirt.
"#Olivine," I said. "How fitting: a beautiful but ultimately common stone prized by fools."
Still I loved her.

Kasseh was busy in her workshop. Cecelia slipped off to the kitchen & boiled water for tea. She had a new tea that was supposed to make you drowsy. She carried two cups into the workshop. Kasseh looked up.
"What are you doing up, Cece?"
"I couldn't sleep," Cecelia said. Then, glancing over at Kasseh's work, she said, "Oh, my! Are those emeralds?"
"Pretty, aren't they?" Kasseh said, accepting a cup of tea. "But they're actually peridot. They're made from a mineral called #olivine." -
Night #shifts could go either way. Either the patients were sedate or they weren't; either there was an emergency or there wasn't. Tonight was a quiet one: enough to hear whispers in the empty corridors; the tap-tap-tapping on the ward's third floor windows.

Sooner or later, #Gardeners come to realize that more than anything else, they simply want #Plants with #Good #Manners.
True, almost any Plant can become a #Tyrant in the right #Circumstance.
But ask a gardener about the manners of #Ivy, #Creepers, #Bamboo, #Periwinkle, #StJohn'sWort, #LilyOfTheValley, #BishopsWeed, etc., and suddenly that #Sweet #Loving Plant #Person #Transforms into a #General with serious #War stories.
Some even have the #Scars to prove it.
