Spring Puddles
acrylic painting on wood,
by artist Cedar Lee (United States)

Nocked urges tend
to foment snoozing passions,
tug in endless fashion
until they awaken a safe hibernation, force us to forage
past sleep; leap out of lethargy, keep dedication.
We walk w. intention again,
arrows pointed
at every "wanted no more."

#bravewrite #firewords280 #foxprose #moonmystic

Aggressions
could collect
uncleanly, ugliness
leaking like low-level
effluence,
alluding in appearance; alluring
thirst to taste test
e.stuary's excrement -
d.angerous disease.

I can't get caught up in the brambles of external gardens, staying stuck in places I really don't belong in, allowing what grows ever determine the worth of MY garden again.

🙏🏼

You’re such a great poetess, Jenny!

I wake from a dream to find life a nightmare: both in thoughts and what they allowed. Those duplicit commonalities painted rainbows on shit; spun lies of polyester then labeled them silk. When I think of it my entire body cries. Flames arise, and bitter biles own me for a while again. The lies just melt to goo and then the prelude to insight passes and leaves what amasses: the rest of my life. That’s all. More time to live in it, with it, honestly, but never free. Fierce, but affected, on a verge oft neglected. Because situations may end, but memory extends them into being, publishing them into this draft of human I am. I’d edit them, but never can. I’d edit them, but I’m only man.

Sullied by mildew,
Gossamer wings fell afoul
Of human-made grime.

lately I just want to exist in a way that feels natural. no over explaining, no performance, just moving through life in a way that makes sense to me. slower, softer, more intentional. less about proving, more about being

Respect to everyone’s personal tastes, and it would probably be more cathartic… esp in airports. Small hot take of my own, though: the rock and pop tunes are still beautiful, just in a different way!

Prompt for 7 March

-Sharp intake-
That gasp of breath meant to flood your body with oxygen to help it act, think, and react. The suddenness hits me… how quickly the subconscious awakens, how quickly we become hyper-alert.

Set your pen where thought hesitates,
where silence coils around half-formed words.
Slaying struggle in the tangle of sentences,
clarity rises like slow, patient moonlight,
spilling across snow-covered slates of possibility.

We spend so much time on impermanent ventures, chasing external conditions, convincing ourselves that we can't spare a second on inner improvement or growth.

"So don't let the world bring you down. Not everyone here is that fucked up and cold. Remember why you came, and while you're alive, experience the warmth before you grow old." Incubus 🎶

The woods held much of our joy, mossy artifacts spent by centuries of ruin; what was once a palace affected by the claims of nature and time, those merciful masters that offer sacred fulfillment in the return of green. But passions called our bluff and we veered off course; what once was a path became and improvised jaunt, a ramble of words and feet as you ask, “Is this Love?” “Can we find it again?” Can we find that oasis of flame: our garden inferno with rubies in leaves so brittle, yet yielding; not hot, but inflamed with whispered threats that the search may end. How we’d be would we dare stay there- in the woods unknown, in the garden ungrown, in the endless search for my treasured end. If we’d let the trees inside us bend. If we held what held us so true. If we dared to know we knew. How we’d be would we dare to know we knew.

slow living is about aligning, not proving

Her sensory underload
comes from the motions
minus the sacred fulfillment;
repetitive actions computed
as merciful, but muted.
Monotonous movement
that lacks,
lax in input.
Foot after foot after foot,
no enjoyment.
Auto-pilot output
saving effort,
wasting time.

How do you stay creative? On artmaking, attention, and how we see the world

Hey friends, how do you stay creative? Today, some thoughts on artmaking, attention, and how we see the world. LMK what you think!

#pale pastels
the colours of spring
of renewal, new life
when the earth awakes
from its long winter sleep
and from somber grey
bursts a rainbow of hues

Rekindling ash: an impossible task
we ask of ourselves every day.
Fire isn't made this way,
precursory to burning.
Who are we to try reversing
nature's determining process?
Divinity laughs at resistance.
Insanity, by definition
rubs in the sin we're too stubborn
to change.
