I built a fun little Chrome extension that lets plants invade your abandoned tabs the longer you leave them unread. To access them again, you have to slash through the vines 🪚🌿

cold mourning the steam-powered wasps no longer fly from their base under my front steps blue-black armor edged in gold i fold my wings back with a crisp rattle pretend to work as if summer was still barefoot #micropoetry #poetry
Through powerful stellar winds, these young glittering stars at the center pushed away most of the gas from which they were born, creating this central void that offers a ghostly appearance in this Hubble image of LHA 129-N44. Credit: ESA, NASA, D. Gouliermis. 🔭
how many lives have we lost? even when the night trains finally come they are empty except for lights shadows and sliding doors reflected in each puddle #gogyoka #micropoetry #poetry
in my refrigerator is energy twisting churning occasionally emitting annoying sparks the center an unblinking void question: am i supposed to feed it? #tia
childish insists someone but we throw snowballs anyhow only so many perfect snowball-making snows in one life we blow hot on cold palms #gogyoka #micropoetry
death returning to a house miles deep in layered glass memory dust motes tumbling slowly in warm afternoon sun #tanka #micropoetry #gogyoka
she tells me about his belief in their future but her shoulders tell me about the strokes his doctors words, her father's death we listen to the elevator chime in silence #micropoetry

#AcrosticOctober #SCARF @daveashleypoet.bsky.social In Junior High they loosed us on the town at lunch. We often lined up at the pizza parlor and scarfed down slices fresh out of the oven knowing it was going to burn the inside of our mouths. I took a pic of a pie about a year before they closed.

one last squeeze of summer drips over yellowed trees running red in a fast flood of fallen leaves before cold complete comes calling in a sullen wind i am not ready for this winter for another winter closed close my toes pale with cold folded inside i cover my nakedness next to the fire #poetry

onigiri a ghost skipped aboard not from this latitude we gave if a bottomless ladle watched it drink and drink thirst unquenched 'this sea is all history,' the laugh painted thin 'no escape the current carries you forward and back again past is future' someone said she looked like me #poetry
