We are not things. We are boundaries that have held so far. The holding is the whole miracle.

A pause in the show, the music I know my chance, missed a Crossing glance I wish I’d seen Those moments between the Clips, the podcasts, those times That we had couldn’t last in Silence when the world would Steal our conversation #BSPP56 #crossingglance #poetry #prompt #blueskypoetry
They all float for a moment before they sink. I used to worry they would never be pulled under, But gravity always seemed to win without much effort. I like watching the mud cling to them and consume them, The way it slowly pulls them under and fills in the gaps. Even it forgets about them. #poetry

Everything She said Less stated Than implied He listened With good ear Away Not wanting To be too Complicit Wandering The ruins Of a bookstore Where they First met Looking for Good titles To steal Security drones In the distance Their buzzing Always a nuisance #poetry #sci-fi #dystopian
Who among us hasn’t dreamt of slowly descending down a stone spiral staircase with a torch in hand and discovering a hidden candlelit library filled with thousands of centuries-old novels and being welcomed by a friendly-yet-misunderstood library ghost?
twilight sleep I wake up speaking a different language
I have been to this place before where I murmur deja vu and make a decision I already made I feel like if I were brave it would turn out different this time
Willow bend, green arch over soft spoken stream. We launched leaf sails on driftwood. Watched their mythic journey end in remnant. Sparkles on smooth stone, treasure fading in pockets. We made a promise never to grow old, to live continuous in a summer day beneath green arches. #thingstowriteabout
