Happy Halloween!

 the spirit had no attribute for it was clothed in their skin saw through their eyes and reached to avenge through their arms and fingers and nails

in his final shallow fast breaths fading he saw the one whose life he took ... no! it cannot be ... alive!

grace on equal ground

an affinity for early mornings exploiting the vulnerabilities in flawed systems then watching the hierarchy tumble so we can all stand on equal ground and then they be surprised to see us offer our love having presuming we would not

instrumentals

this morning the Cure instrumentals keep me warm as I try to express myself more and more. if I don't keep writing I tend to get lost and fear I will forget myself. so much static out there crossing my signals. got to tend to this fire or it goes up in smoke kinda feeling.  #katyamills

untarnished

blow by blow
on her back
taking strangers
decimated
the ego
sexy facade
sparkling bright
who will pay
for a night?
gave the last of what
she had away
save
the spirit
untarnished
aglow

loose tooth

working the orchard

they were pretty dehydrated 

one of the apples 

pulled off the branch 

they sunk their teeth in 

went in for another

bite they saw blood 

felt around the mouth 

the drunken fight 

last night 

a tooth was 

loose

time blind

The sun set on a quiet winter day and they fell off into a faraway cavernous thought space with music playing off a box radio plugged in and hung up over the sink with bungees so they could access it from the bed, too heavy to move. Time got lost in their blindness of it.

sugar

she gave them #sugar
honestly
enough to sweeten the deal
not poison it

twilight

clouds were roaming
we were still
in the gloaming there settled
a chill


a wolf was circling
with three coyotes
coming in
for the kill

tea

black tea 

and me 

always agreed 

she declared 

we are more like green 

respect 

and keep a fair 

distance

tsundoku

the difficulty was not with tsundoku so much as it was with society and the tendency they had to work and work and work the plentiful jobs none of which supplied the proper income to live on the blade

OCT1

they acquired the skin of a melon ... layers upon layers of bruised rejection ... exterior to a sweetness saved for the one true love they had yet to lay eyes on
