Beneath Hereβs where they sky-grave the stags. Extend them, impossibly, from breathless, ivied towers. Here these herds of young and old lock together, lattice air. Bombed roofs of horn-winged angels. Antlers, dripping empty blood.
Coming in under the wire for @hool415.bsky.social's #promptcombo this week, my #free40 is actually 36 words (if you include its title). It was written while stood beneath a naked tree in winter β rain starting to fall on me through its bare branches.

Must not spend
gutter money on art.
Must not turn twisted
gutters into art.
...or rather
Must not listen to haters
paying rent inside my head.
That's how the madness starts
with oil paint under its nails.

A manβs man!
Hairy chest

Yes maybe
but Iβm Raaaaggghhhhhh

Passed again
the joint blazes
noxious fumes
spiralling
head and sky
weed havoc
Thoughts collide
imagined
to the end

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

Weresloth lycanthrope
Hides up trees, for a quick snooze
Change at the full moon.

A forest of flags lifts together.
Hands on hearts, eyes closed.
Anthems overlap, thick as incense.
Patriotism kneels beside religion.
Both sanctifying blood.
Not questions.

Inside out
Pulled apart
And reshaped
Imagined,
Then some more
Remolded
A new mask
Wearing now
All for them

Tell me, is midlife a dreamβor waking from one?
Iβd say the dream is to wake again tomorrow.

wind β untether my thoughts
make them clouds I can
rest this weary head on
Zephyr β take my hurt
vaporise and
scatter it in drops
of water finding
their way back
to the source

Iβm not tight,
give money
street people
I intend
to be good
and better
Make others
lives happy
no real cost.

"Prosperity doesn't come from controlling the other. It comes through harmony with one another", she said. They felt threatened in their territory, and burnt her as a witch. It didn't change the fact. Β© Stefanie Neumann - @KokopelliBFree

__blood moon__
the blessΓ©d 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

and the toffee crackled windows
in the seaside town
Where the tide went out
In nineteen sixty two.

Stirs his tea with a fork

Hi @hool415.bsky.socialπ Here's my contribution for #PromptCombo #Free40:
Meditation
Iβm here β
more than I was
ten minutes ago.
a lifetime ago
before childhood
drove over
my tiny,
growing body.
I inhale again.

For this week's #PromptCombo #Free40 - a tricky challenge from @hool415.bsky.social - I think I've just scraped in under the limit. Will try to catch up with others later.

This is Tuesday's offering. The name of a band I used to really like, gave me the starting point. Have a nice day.

my housing
could be stolen
from me
anytime
for any reason -
it's happened before
renting weekly
is a constantly
precarious
situation, but
sometimes
it's the only option
if I get evicted
I'm leaving this city
for good
good riddance

My advertising algorithm
is trying to convince me,
Buy bulletproof backpacks
for my preschool-aged boys.
See the lightning design,
bogo while supplies last.
That's the poem,
that's it...
Bulletproof
backpacks.

Trying
I tried to shower
again today.
To get up,
clean up,
wake up.
Instead I stayed down.
Chased prompts
and planned what
I'll do
tomorrow.
