Nature is a very effective
system, but humanity is searching in
the dark, without seeing light beacons

"Like southern birds, whose wings of light
Are cold and hueless while at restβ€”
But spread to soar in upward flight,
Appear in glorious plumage drest;

The poet’s soulβ€”while darkly close
Its pinions, bids no passion glow;
But roused at length from dull repose,
Lights, while it spurns, the world below."

LIKE SOUTHERN BIRDS. Poems, translated and original (1835)

~Elizabeth Fries Ellet (October 18, 1818 – June 3, 1877)

Silvery grey
A strong wind
Blows from the west
Slows my progress.
Im on the edge of sunlight
A watery shadow
Moves before me
Stretching out
Over the wall
Over to where
The Curlews call
In soft whispers
To treasures
Hidden in buttercups
Rusty dock and sorrel
Skylarks are singing
Over the yarrow.
And time is flying
Hurtling headlong
Into mid-summer

Laughter like
Sediment at
The bottom
Of my lungs
And the tempest
Rises, shifts,
Wild roses
Forced to
Bloom on
My skin,
I’ve cried
Rivers just
To watch you
Drown.
I’ve cried rivers
Just to die of
Thirst.

This day was unlike others.

Oh sure, it’s the same
sweaty grime and
clenched grimace.
Sunlight’s slap
still stings, and
your ears ring
like yesterday.

But tomorrow is
today’s trite reunion.

Hoary day,
glory day,
On display a
different way.

Grief finds you,
your pen does softly weep.

Each word a tear,
each line a sorrow deep.

Through ink and paper,
pain finds its release.

It’s sad to know
it is just a fleeting peace.

Bring your
Mouth to mine
That I may
Breathe a
Fire that
Rivals the
Stars

stevencudahy, to poetry

it was comfort-shaped
until it wasn't, unclear
why the change arrived
strange, on a train from nowhere
to an unseen trap
unclean and spitefully laid
trees and boughs no place
for you as you choked - sudden
public property
in ways you weren't in the past
a day out with them
"perhaps a dress, my darling,
instead of those old leggings"

19 May 2024 - bough.

you apply pressure
knowing its effect on me
disproportionate
to the words you choose with care
for their innocence
each small noise an atomic
shattering in me
every frail limit transgressed
my whole world moved, unasked for

18 May 2024 - lever.

defined against norms
perhaps less universal
than the boilerplate suggests
we swim in chaos
forgetting there's more to life
hurled into the oubliette

Thanks @worded_art for the prompt - syndrome.

step in for a hug
dissolving like sunburnt fog
a damp fade, disappointment
and there's just shadows
sleep sour across a drunk tongue
cheap building laughter creaking

Thanks @worded_art for the prompt - bupkes.

brew the pale brown gold
reddish pour in heavy sun
your laughter spilling

fading over time
energy dissipating
forgetting their trees
