'Gosh, it's hot & #arid today, Gabe. You'd better lather up with suntan lotion if you're staying out. Here you go.'
'Thanks, Pixie. That's unusually helpful. Though this stuff doesn't spread very well. And it's... STICKY!'
Giggle. 'Did I mix up the lotion with the glue?'

‘Ghost’

It’s the crisp mist’s whisper,
the winter mornings breathe.

It’s the first slices of sun,
spilling gold into your marrow.

It’s the butterfly flutters,
nibbling at your fingertips.

It’s the sky of the worlds,
echoing from afar.

Are the #android ‘s eyes wide shut?

#vss365 #poetry

‘Let’s Sleep Outside’

& if I wail, will you catch my breath?
Cup it; twist the copper top, mason jar,
silent firefly—strobing S.O.S
Can you hear me yet?

& what if I’m not a lonely star?
The night’s a crocheted blanket.
I’m the light—
so don’t stitch the sky
…

Sry, guess the joke didn't land. Should put # D&D on it. Halfling. Why is it half a ling? 😅

#Peace sleeps under rock
Waiting planets collision
Lessons learnt hard way

Thank you so very much! ❤️

I attached my reply as a screenshot because Bluesky changed my smart quotes to straight quotes.

we used to be in love
thought it would last forever
but it didn't last a lifetime

I didn't want to accept
I would have kept watering
a dead plant, our relationship

you found love again
it'd have been better
to hate you than this indifference

my heart is #arid now

My once #arid
Utah cabin
Is now
A seaside home

The Bread Basket
Is burning
Folks who’re left
Are skin & bone

Earth’s icecaps
Have all melted
Coastal metros
Are all gone

Our climate “changed”
& took the food
You’ve desert
For a lawn

The zombies
Only come at night
I hide
& pray for dawn

If I use it, I'll mention you. 😉
I've got a long list of names and words, both real and made up, collected for the series.
What I love about some series are the cool new names like Dune's Sardaukar, lord of the rings uruk-hai, etc. So I collect. 😁
Thank you!

the red tree
lost its leaves

the pond
forgot its face

two #arid paths
met & parted
in their thirst
without end

the birds were gone
their souls remained

oh, precious rest
to be nothing
& still belong
somewhere

Dry bones might live under the right circumstances. Lonely enough, they might rise up, put on sinew, put a tongue back behind the teeth, heave a breath and read their own arid names from the roll of the dead just to hear them said once more out loud, gently, in an eternity of dust.

8 years ago today, I was sleeping on a blow up mattress at the foot of the bed in my coworker's studio apt in the TL, after running away from my abuser, starting a journey of homelessness for about 8 months.

As of today, I'm a homeowner of my own little place in the Bay Area. 💖

Never give up.

How do you pronounce the name and can I steal it?

I collect bizarre names for my future space opera series Lineage Ascending.

All of us, always my friend. All of us, always. 😉

I've come to two very key realizations:

I'm an awesome #writer.

But.

I'm also not nearly as good at #writing as I thought I was.

I am so excited to have my first book published, "13 Short Horror Stories for Bedtime". Thank you for all of your support! Please give this post a share and review!

'em instead of ‘em

I was told: 'em instead of ‘em. Is this correct? Or, have I been wasting my time on 'em?

Most awesome humble brag ever on the @rosstuckerpod.bsky.social today.

Since the time of King Herod
The desert's been #arid
The place to hear the Lord or
Get big thoughts in order
A wilderness of sun and sand
On the way to the Promised Land

#vss365 #writersofbluesky

Looks so comfortable. 😆

No growth here
only acid rain
within these walls
the riverbed is dry
and cracked and drained
the only growth is cancer
behind the dead vines
the exit way is chained
in this parched gulch
of arid thoughts
I'm left wandering

On hands and knees, through the #arid hell, they crawled. They were almost there. They could see the towers, standing in the salty waters of the Sound. One among them gathered the strength to stand, his red hat pointing to some graffiti, and scoffed. "Stop climate change? Fucking libtards."

#vss365

The #arid world cries out in shame. Soon, nothing left, nothing to gain. All will fail, all will falter, no one left to bother. We did it to ourselves. Pride, allegiances to amorphous ideologies, arrogance, faith, greed, all our follies are real. Bring back love and peace or face reality.

She's beautiful.

I raise you a fella who believes he's a lion. 😆 Look how fierce!
