I could swim the distance Between you and I; Lungs wrung raw Because breath control Had never been my Strongest point; But it didn’t matter That I’d almost drowned Trying to reach you Somehow, it made sense Returning to these #straits Just to measure What it would take To finally Reach you #vss365

A silent cry Bleeds thick in the mouth Of a #splinter, Throbbing red Thumb swollen Picking up the consequences Of a clumsy mistake — A broken handle And smiling face Cracked right down the middle Like a joke turned sour Tongue-in-cheek Because the punchline Hit a little too close To home #vss365

her skin became a crimson palimpsest upon which all of her was written—lined paper, flayed and curled. the extravasated #ink was an insight into her state of mind, but hidden within the scars and valleys was a truth only she could define #whistpr #writingprompt #writingcommunity

you talk of passengers who took the long way round (honest concealers who forget more of skies than you care to remember) to stand on a russet stair tourists to your carbon chatter taking pictures of a pointed view in the blue, a whistle sounds more precise for the quiet #whistpr

Haven’t been feeling very motivated with my writing lately. Perhaps I lack #vision or just need a new perspective. But I’ve also been lacking good sleep, so there’s that as well. I’m still trying not to feel guilty when I’m not able to execute creatively. #vss365

You are picture vs. #vision; where science meets magic, the constancy of clouds. Your thumbs against my cheeks, reteaching, smiling becomes a kind-of prayer and also a kind of lying down. Is this how a book feels when it gets its cover? To hold so many words and still be calm... #vss365

The #brine was too salty But you didn’t seem to mind That I always got things wrong As if mistakes were encoded In my blood; When everyone else Got angry You’d pinch my cheek Stroke my hair Pat me on the back And tell me to try again — It’s not so easy Being on this side Of the mirror #vss365

I feel your song coming - a faraway lantern's gradation on the dark - at the base of my neck. Reveal yourself, sailor, whale, or demon. Come and devour me. I'll be the sun in your stomach. I'll bear your legend like a tidepool, a #brine that settles between my skeleton's oyster shell hips. #vss365
