Ecstasy
Neon bled from a borrowed speaker into the 80s dark,
their faces lacquered with wonder, pupils wide as promises,
girls folding over toilet bowls, purging for a cleaner sky.
The night was a bitten silver pill dissolving on every tongue.
I stood in a smiley tee and heavy boots, water bottle like a talisman,
a fence post of a girl in a field that kept melting without me.
Thanks Fidel for this weeks #PromptCombo #ecstasy
Have a great week, ๐

Brilliant stuff, Rachel. I actually feel like I'm right there in the moment of the night. "Neon bleed from a borrowed speaker into the 80s dark." WoW, so graphic. Love this piece so much๐๐

First song-thrush in February
A short poem
Hi Fidel, @dragonslayerma.bsky.social
For #promptcombo a few words.Not exactly about #ecstacy but being grizzled that's an emotion I've forgotten. ๐

"love be found...in sodden earth mirrors." The joy you get from the "song-thrush." Wonderful words throughout.
I get the grizzle, with all the rain we've been having, drive you up the wall...and the ending, "I'll remember you forever." My heart loves this piece so very much darlin ๐
Thank you โค๏ธ

"Circean" I love when I have to look up a word that has 2 meanings! Very good, Dave.

You've done an excellent job portraying the ecstasy rush produced by sugar & the drug! Another cracking piece, Francis, "senses fizzing on the tongue"๐

"an eventual failure of snowdrops." An opening of doom to this, I think? "a throaty lust disguised" is so very intriguing!

Ecstasy
No tastemakers prepare as I have
prepared. You, who were threaded
into bed, prepared. And glowing:
cheeks and nose all glowing. I was
all for tearing off the perforations
of the day. The day, in fact, a slab
of grey, but so what with the bath
so hot and the cheeks all glowing
so. No courtiers. No attendants.
The wallpaper here was ridged
and cream but oh how I stripped that,
ripped that. Such ancient paste. Such
elbow grease. Beneath the yellow
middling rose the pink slit
of sunset closed, and this view now is its
reverse; the season set to shit.
No politics as yet โ we have all been
having so much trouble. The sun!
I do remember! Purples, pinks and
oranges but it has been a canny while.
Let me instead drag across
this television set. Dusty. Doillied.
Moveable on casters. A great surprise
to both of us as the second
final episode begins.
One for #PromptCombo #Ecstasy, and I hope it's suitably ecstatic

There's so much to unpack in this write. "You, who were threaded into bed" it's all pink & glowing. Then "the season set to shit" & the forgotten sun, very grim. The joy came back in the form of television & 2nd final episode of life!Oh yes,
suitably ecstatic!

Lourdes
Rain so hard,
each of us
confounded
by our own black clouds,
absorbed
in the tightening queue:
a wet
swaying caterpillar.
Forced to wait to view
a statue,
a story from a child like me,
a ghost
sent down from
heaven to France,
though unclear
from the mosaic of many postcards
in rows of holy kiosks,
if the figure
will talk.
Too scared to look up
in the shuffle past,
but hearing
the breath
of a rolling collective gasp,
and fragments
of rushed foreign sounds,
as if the winds of the world
are here
and speaking.
Hullo @dragonslayerma.bsky.social and to #promptcombo #ectasy

"a wet swaying caterpillar."
What a great way to describe a queue, Ju.
The awe & fear in equal measures, wonderfully visual piece overall. "as if the winds of the world are here." Love this a lot, darlin๐๐
