What is this cotton wool behind my eyes?
A knit of foggy fibres holding
fast my next thought
Odd when my mind so & at
the age of 53 I ought
to relish this ripe wisdom & cognition
Yet here I am forgetting where to turn
just to reach the kitchen

Now, as she wheeled her father around the zoo, his cognizance and memories faded into old age's oblivion, she pointed at an open air exhibit.
A smile on her lips, a tear in her eye, she spoke gently,
"Papa... Giraffe"

Not much of her childhood was fresh in her memory, but sitting on her father's lap, babbling, and gorging on animal-shaped crackers was something she remembered clearly.
"Giraffe" her father would say in his gruff voice, pointing to her favorite cracker.

The forest spirit says, "We must go! Snow will start falling soon."
Getting to her feet, they restart the journey.
Along the path, they see a troll sitting in the forest. "Should we go & him? He looks sad."
"Trolls are troublesome. Come, I will take your pot."

spills stars

~Shimmers~
on crescents of my arching night

Tell me,

Who~
fallen in
can fall out
of love

How~
do you cleave
a thicket
living in the seed

Why~
of all creation
heart
stems foremost
innately beats sans any bone

There's powder in my scars from the open sky, it writes me into ink, but i’m the dust of the devil and the stars lost first lullaby ~ I run with the wolves in the open dunes, angels and the caw of the crows beating time into bloom..where I am untied, where I am the moon~

While Hatter discusses
the tonic in the tea
I want to munch on the cake
they moved so far away from me
But they left me a knife
I’ll soon pull it free
Damn their Yerba Mate
I’m on a murderous confection spree

Sinking deeper into the ice, I get pulled to the surface. Look out the window, houses are swallowed by black lightning. I hold my dog as he growls, the demon enters the room. I am aware he wants to enter my body. Eyes open shadows lurk in the corner.

Emotions in a
A whirlwind of invisible forces
Pressures rubbing against each other
Origin: unknown
Destination: unpredictable
Destructive enough to explode a home
Yet, also the breeze in the trees
A tiny tornado of leaves
That settle into stillness

I was just contemplating the world when my teacher told me to pay attention! I glared down at my notebook with the words, "Imagination is more important that knowledge," before I doodled Hello Kitty.

I never received candy from the teacher's that day.

Yeah man, Metallica kicks ass! Uh-huh-huh, uh-huh-huh

Em looked around and the faces assembled. While she loved her parents fiercely, this group, this of AI and flesh and blood...this was her family. She was lucky.

"Well, shall we? That dragon isn't going to slay itself..."
