A woman is crying.
We are pretending
not to hear her.

She is pretending
that she isn't crying
after all.

I wonder if others here
are as lost in this.

I want to help her
but I am afraid

  • I will make it worse
  • I will scare her
  • helping is taboo
  • I will have to do something practical.

She gets off at her stop.

Later, trying to sleep,
I worry. Was she travelling
to or from her sorrow
or carrying it always in her bones.


Thanks @tanweerdar for the prompt - bus.

contempt is fine
if and when referring to

human thoughts
tapping into imagination
worlds to dream of
dreaming is human
with physical exertion
real materials and paint
an artist exists
to explore and test
many boundaries
ART draws us closer
to all that it means
to have a living soul...

closer

The electric buzz of cicadas
A summer morning symphony
From natures wild orchestra
Hungry birds, honey bees
Spoiled by urban sounds
Ofbeat hoovers
Power drills
Idling
Bus

do we dare exposure
must we lurk in the shadows
of ever changing cultural norms
the genuine self always knows
no matter what lies we spray on
for others to see and believe
we can never truly hide
we can only seek...

Set abroad up track,
Und't leafy cover o'er 'ead.
Turn up't vale,
T' where t' breadth of lands unfolds beneath.
Stay a while.
List' t' breeze tellin' y' its tale.
Speech hush'd in lazy air.
Watch now,
Swallows dance unbound above,
Small 'uns patter in't heath grass.
Take in.
And wand' o' t' mighty awe of bein'.

Every garment's a ghost in waiting.
In darkness they'll rouse,
dance all your shadows.

Your coats hang oddly twisted
left churned by our rush.

I used the landline to phone my mobile,
and vice versa. It's good to check.

You didn't finish your drink.
There are clothes of yours in the basket.
Clean ones drying on the kitchen pulley.

I tidied up your shoes.
Reunited a pair of trainers.
You may need them soon. Please.

prompt - 28th May - redolent.

With a certain pride
I made a jenga tower
Out of custard creams

Gasp

Tremulous tower,
With the empire’s final gasp,
Shuffles a new fate.

In solitude's embrace, I gasp for air,
Loneliness, my constant, lingering affair.
A solitary figure, wandering in despair,
Echoes of silence, a burden I bear.

Amidst the crowds, I stand unseen,
A phantom in a world so keen.
Each passing day, a relentless routine,
Gasp by gasp, my soul's longing keen.

The stars above, they twinkle and weep,
Yet in their beauty, my sorrows seep,
Gasping for solace, in dreams I leap.

CatalyzedTransmogrification, to random

I am having a sort
Of mental block
A whirlwind of thoughts
Under lock
I can feel them
Swirling all around
But I refuse
To write them down
If I did, they may
Be considered true
But I dont' know
What I am supposed to do
I know this restriction
Is self-imposed
And it inhibits
My ability to grow
So here I sit
Stuck at the
Wondering if I have
Run our of fucks
