I read #Powerless and... didn't even make it halfway 😐
I don't care if people say "It's getting better at book 2 or 3..." sorry folks but if book 1 isn't even that good, I ain't reading the rest of the series.
Powerless: Cold Season (2017)
Agents of SHIELD: The Real Deal (2018)

Your own #humanness may indeed trick you into believing you are #powerless. 𐦂𖨆𐀪𖠋
Anyone else here lose the whole week's string of #PromptCombo posts? When I checked in this morning, wanting to read through some older posts, it only showed me new ones from just today. Had to add #Powerless to my search to get it all back, and still not sure it's all there.

Touch drawn from nowhere
Startled old woman
Knows nothing
- in that split second -
But the hard heavy ringful
Hand of the once kind man
On her three year old shoulder
nerve endings screaming
overloaded mind — shutdown
nothing left to spare
neuronal sparks misfired
mental batteries drained

A Difficulty Gust cold gets inside skin. Difficulty with fingers as he finds coin he cannot grasp. I know the old have thinner skin. "It is colder," I suggest. "Early onset of Parkinson's," he replies. "Have a better day," I reply weakly.
Hi @rfsmith.bsky.social, here's my second for your great #promptcombo #Powerless
the past lives within my skin pink scars showing how powerless one is over their own mind depression shows up and never leaves like a bad party guest (could've at least spiked the punch) a downer with a knife while paranoia is watching staring, inhaling details to ridicule later every word you write every word you speak it's all ridiculous and wrong the darkness is incurable a partner for life unwanted uninvited unwilling to leave
Once it's in you, it's not going to leave. You have no say.

Quoting Joyce while she tossed him His ashes fly furious at her words Cruel bitumen for potholes Compost for nettle and thistle He has no power now and less before Borrow ditch grave lends the name A road to send back by Terminally reduced after all his reducing A ceremony of banishment not loss She wants the spot for her own scatterings Take me down to the eternal, she sings, Make me the whirling howling phantom cinders Of victim turned tormentor.

On Being Called Obedient The tide looks obedient, a shoreline kneeling twice a day. But it is tendon and pull, muscle hooked to a distant bone, dragged by a body it never sees.
On Being Called Calm No flame. No voice. Still, oceans lean toward her. Salt swells in the throat of water. Blood keeps its red calendar
Thanks @rfsmith.bsky.social for hosting this week's #PromptCombo #Powerless
My thoughts veered into femininity, perception & misdiagnosis of powerless.
I couldn't choose one so here are both responses.
Weakest are the most powerful. I'm against their authority. Homeless, destitute, abandoned hold sway. We're under their thumb. What gives them the right? We don't want to abandon our homes, cars, land. What gives them the right to lord it over us with those stares? Begging us to submit to their rule, As if they want us to sink to their level. We've got principles. They're all billionaires on quiet, you know.
For @rfsmith.bsky.social Ronnie and your excellent #Promptcombo #Powerless
I know the wild jump between the first and second stanzas is there but trust me... it gets worse.

I've never posted twice in one week to #promptcombo, but I think this one fits the theme of #powerless and the times we live in. @rfsmith.bsky.social
Hurt I can feel your pain even from a million miles away. It travels through the absence, through the words you don’t say. I reach for you in my mind, hands outstretched across the distance, trying to bridge the space with nothing but hope and the weight of wanting to help. How do I cross this silence? I speak, but the air swallows my comfort. I listen, but it never feels like enough. I care so fiercely, yet stand here powerless to lift what you carry. If my thoughts could be a steadying hand, if my love could guide you to light, if my presence could be felt without my body being near, then know this: you are not alone in the dark. Even from a million miles away, I am with you in every way I can be.
I have friends who are hurting, and all I can do is offer them my words.

These times can make us feel #powerless confronting the human tendency, acutely exhibited by the populist grifters & felons, to give in to base impulses & reprise old error. It moves me to reshare my poem Magdeburg for @rfsmith.bsky.social’s timely #promptcombo theme #poetsonbluesky #poetrycommunity
A 2 stanza poem by Debbie Ross entitled Illusions Text as follows: A vote in a democracy, a bill through the letterbox, a result from a test, a credit card in a wallet, a roof over your head. Power-crazed lunatics running the show, protest won't stop them, neither will hope.
Morning, Ronnie @rfsmith.bsky.social and the rest of the crew, thanks for this week’s #PromptCombo #powerless This was what came to mind and as you can tell I’ve not spent any time working on it. #poetrycommunity #poetry
Thank you @rfsmith.bsky.social. For #Powerless I am thinking about energy in relationships.

Thanks @rfsmith.bsky.social for this week’s #promptcombo #powerless. Here’s one about the powerlessness that comes with an aging body.
I can see from a brief skim (I'll be back soon to read properly) that my take is far from unique. Still attempting brevity. For @rfsmith.bsky.social #PromptCombo #powerless
A hole in the road FOOTWAY CLOSED, so the sign says. Playmobil-green barriers enclosing a cavity that yawns from a wave of lawn to the cliff edge of a kerb – a couple of feet at most. They did this in the small hours: tore at tarmac with a toy JCB; heaped up spoonfuls of rubble, clay; arranged a miniature mountain range around a hole filling fast with children’s echoes, binmen’s tutting, a neighbour’s concerns, the yap of an anxious dog.
For @rfsmith.bsky.social's #promptcombo on the theme of #powerless, a surprisingly literal interpretation from me. This was written after a power cut that took out all the electricity in our cul-de-sac about 12 years ago.
