The idea of family left knots in his sternum. His checkered #history w/women bleak; badgered his soul to pieces.

Lies can empty heart valves like a woman w/out values #vss365

you have your story
I have mine
there is his-story
then there is her-story
everyone has a story

the real story
our story
never got told
nor written down
flows like a stream
gathering thoughts

#history is never simple
woven from threads of memory
entangling so-many

A US flag flying in a commerce soaked parking lot at the end of late Autumn afternoon...

fathers, flags

his story glory spoils
greed grew limbs
demanded rites
history no mystery
humanity knows

a human heart is a language without words
a window prayer simple poem
like laughter caught a raw crawl under sky
a calendar of bone trees
the broken grey cold of winter coming

"You have 60 seconds."
"Movie pitch. Schwarzenegger is a retired commando working as a meek librarian in a small town. Via social media, bad guys find him. Chaos at the library."
"Let me guess. In one scene, he dumps a load of books on a bad guy and says 'You're #history.'"
"It's been done?"

#Geography Graffiti

Light and shadow play across barricades. Dawn reveals night's work - new graffiti - shifted barriers
evidence of unseen hands. The day shift begins; let’s get this work.

"Menel's punishments are counterproductive to my training. Move the boy in with me."

Zorla shot Menel an annoyed look and offered Kaya a fake smile.

“OK, but this boy has a #history of temperamental and aggressive behavior. Keep him in line, or he will be punished again.”

One by one
they pull them out
lost to the ashes
gaps in the shelf
like lost teeth
they pull them out
bury the history
but one day they'll
dig them up
open the pages
and reconstruct the memes
the weeping and gnashing
of a full set of teeth

Us that stocks and bonds were made

Bailey took Jin to the SWA museum hidden in Washington DC. Jin got to see the #history of the agency. They stopped at one exhibit where there were three male bodies suspended like the Lucifer statue in the Holy Trinity church. The last body was Rob Roy. #vss365

It was the perfect prize – a holiday in Switzerland.
Sunshine, fresh air, lovely scenery...
What could possibly go wrong???

I paint the woods
with untrimmed nails
tracing down your back
my fingertips cold
warming to
the touch
of your skin
turning you into
an ice skating rink
upon which I glide
artfully to the
melody

You Matter!

MANY OF US ARE NOT ‘FINE’…

The #business of not being able to afford health insurance or food is real today…
Know, you aren’t alone:
-I hear you
-I see you
-I am you

WE
ARE ENOUGH
AS IS…

Reports were coming in from several systems. Reports of a bigger attack from The Enemy, on several fronts. A retaliation for their bruising defeat.
Dylan couldn’t send the team everywhere, he had to concentrate on the nearer, more #domestic, attack and the others had to fend for themselves.

Chaotic & crazed;
yellow teeth, sharp
drooling and dripping
with blood
Mauling innocents in
moonlight’s madness

A cunning #creature
in nocturnal carnage
grinding their gore filled molars
feeding on the femurs
of the living

The creature resides
Lurks and darts about
Ominous doom it suggests
But it’s more scared of you
Skittish to this uncertain world

We approached the creature with caution and curiosity. It nibbled something crunchy as it sat cross-legged watching the ocean. It's dark red fur was wet and shone bright in the afternoon sun. Dirk took pictures while I took mental notes.
As we got closer, it belched.
Dirk yelped, "Father!"

Abitual

Each dawn, the creatures of Abit rehearse their lives.
They adjust expressions.
Practice lines.
One forgets the ending,
but the others applaud anyway.
The curtain never falls,
it just loops,
loops
loops
until
the stage resets
again
for one more
final rehearsal.

I wanna be a creature,
this human gig is wearing,
there's broadness there,
just behaving,
no misbehaving,
more options for satisfaction.

Looking for a #Halloween fright read? Then look no further than ‘Tumblefields’, a horror novella about a group of thrill-seeking girls who learn, too late, that they might find what they were looking for.
