with cowardice and bluster ⁣
the tangerine is falling⁣
down an ever deeper hole⁣
but cannot seem to muster⁣
a friend to build a ladder⁣
or perhaps a friendly poll⁣
to flee the darkness looming⁣
on his rising tide of gore⁣

a strange spring warmth⁣
as concrete blossoms softly ⁣
over cedar trees⁣

and medics⁣
fly across a broken sky⁣
in bloody pieces⁣

bravado echoes⁣
in the hallways of unwise⁣
⁣
but empty vessels⁣

and feed your foolish fears
with dreams of glory
while angels turn to rust
their black tears weeping
for cities churned to dust
your childish stories
of holy stars and lust
entwined forever
from tall gasping gallows

__collapsar__

scientists discover
a new kind of void
underpinning
presidential hair
a venality collapse
distorting time
and grace

where all our darkness
swift accreting
panders to one stellar whim
with no escape

#poem #poetry #vss365 #resist

but god, you see
with one bleak eye
for all the world
relies on corvid spies
and coal black wings
to hide immortal
misery

for those too young to remember, the real animal was a Lamb

that strike on schools
unmatched

while our lions lie
down on broadway

Do you #trust #ai? Today's #hallucination …
me: explain "the lion lies down on broadway"
answer:
"The Lion Lies Down on Broadway" is the title of a 1974 concept album by the British progressive rock band Genesis

How much have YOU #invested in the coming #catastrophe?

Oops. I blame the #BBC data guys for feeding me the wrong link.

The power of poetry to help medical doctors and Climate Scientists. And us, of course.

lack of bandwidth, old chap;
there are only so many people I can be in one day
😕

and
at the end of the terrace
a tropical lagoon
peers out between
tattered curtains
where vast sails billow
under yellow plaster
straining after ancient storms

unless, perhaps
that is a different Dee
beyond your weeping
moss

😉

👏

as the earth cries
eat me
eat me
perennial love
in sweet disguise

love the double-handed "winds" 👏

not your desires
but theirs

all art
is leaving

something out

ah ha!
The story of all my posts ... 😎

oops "deserve" has two edges - be sure to use the kind one 😄

we don't deserve you

__blood moon__

the blesséd young are out there
chanting in the streets
clotted thick with dream
like santa suddenly wanting
to be a queen
then cutting
rudolf's bright illumination
off

a blood moon setting
on a sea of grief

Thank you 🙏
