In Honour of the Fallen

I dropped a brownie on the floor.
It’s wrong, I know, some ancient law.
But still I knelt, (I'll go to hell);
I ate that square right where it fell.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social it wouldn't surprise me if the story Badenich told is debunked in the next 24 hours making it even worse.

Martyrdom
A batter-born

of eggs & hope,
p

into a tin chalice
lined with unblessed parchment.

heat conducts
an orchestra of crusting;
then,
time to chill
to lo-fi beats.

My body offered
to be savoured
for I
am
brownie!
gone,
before the oven's
echo melts.

Sweet, gooey, crumbly, treats – fresh from the oven. Just one bite? Gabe will never notice. Or another. And another. Until… uh-oh. The last brownie. I should save it for Gabe.
Munch.
Oops.
Well… I’ve left him a crumb.
Your turn to bake up some fun.

As today's word is #rules I've broken the rules and published two versions of the same poem, wonder which one will fond favour?

Oversassed

Last night's storm
snapped with sass,
slapped my face,
stole my hat.
Wind whist-

like I was a
ditched
gutter skin-flute.
Snarky rainclouds
rolled their eyes,
as if to say:
“You should’ve known better
than to trust
the forecast.”

A Jester’s Plans

Mischief slicks the morning's hinges,
a rustsmirk wind,
peeling plots like citrus rinds.

Today's itinerary?
A million snickering things
with bootleg wings, pockets full
of fire alarms
and a mouthful of pretence.

Unseen Duet

Beneath the bricks,
a muffled hum
only I hear.
A little off-key,
but happy,
my last memory of you.

When no one’s watching,
I hum along,
eyes closed
and slightly damp.

Nightfall In Another World

An elm folds
the dusk like bruised origami.
Limbs mutter
brake-light confessions
to parked cars.
The moon licks oil from the kerb,
night hiccups through a strip-lit jaw.
In another world
a fox dreams
in a box
packed with memories of moths.
