#vss365 challenge! Word is #purge You told me you donated everything from her Even the dress she died in I thought of how many times I’ve dug through abandoned clothes at thrift stores Like it was buried treasure And wondered how many ghosts I’ve actually purchased too
They call me #piranha precise I sharpen my thank yous until they cut I’m all teeth a mouth full of almost.. Listen, body, we’ve been through this you want to be held but flinch at the first touch of tender so I swim in circles bite my own tail and call it self-awareness #vss365
they say I wear my heart on my sleeve but I wear my #raincoat over it trying not to let my heart catch what catches all hearts I’ve learned to master the art of staying dry while drowning I weather the weather because hypothermia is somewhat slower than heartbreak… #vss365
when I have my head in a storm you are my #conundrum cloud that rains sunshine on me and traps the whole sky in its lining #vss365
#perhaps rain is a yes in disguise umbrellas, a small uprising above our heads and the wet turns into a yet we can walk through when we turn the downpour into an upstart and sign our names along the dotted drops #vss365
It was an #extrusion of an ex-intrusion Where old lovers cried me a river And I 3D printed them a bridge To get over it #vss365
Blue meets yellow on the page A soft #synthesis Green shows up Envious of this overlap named us #vss365 (#prompt word for Sep 17 is #synthesis)
she puts on #style like sunscreen quiet protection and later look how she glows without burning #vss365
It sits Pretending to be small Waiting Impatient and kind #Potential, planted like a seed In the church of dirt Where I am water whispering amen I am ringed with ripened years And the altar always alters me #vss365
I #remember the moment Your head crashed onto my shoulder The day the news hijacked our hearts We crumbled to tears, eyes glued to footage we wished was a dream Years later in New York I touched your uncle’s name Knowing a memorial wasn’t enough to commemorate him... #BraveWrite
I save the crinkle To remember the sweetness The archeology of careful consumption And a candy #wrapper heart Echoing of sugar long dissolved #vss365
I chased treble for years Under the melody’s glitter Pressed my troubles into air Turned up the subwoofer Until the shelves trembled Along with all my doubt #Bass waves became my base ways… #vss365
Errands of milk, stamps, silence. At checkout, the cashier calls me "love" and suddenly the #mundane is magical. #vss365
in the laundry of time I found a #wormhole in my pocket loose change and lost chances returned all back to you #vss365
Not every day is meant for #taffeta Healing often happens in hospitals Under unflattering fluorescents With plastic bracelet jewelry Back exposed in a very different gown Awkward and gaping But clean #vss365
harsh light #boxer stance hold the pain with both hands opponent’s eyes full of the same fear but it’s just me in the mirror practicing my scowls #vss365
broken shoe worn-down #heel prints dug deep in the earth proof I walked through it not around it #vss365
