A place to gather words before they get lost.

I'm lost once again in your brush strokes of art and imagination

for Simon #ds106

Someone asked if after the reading there was reconciliation

After the reading, someone asked if I still pray to God

My lip leaving the reading in a way completely understood

After the reading I was shattered

After the reading I told joy and then after the reading someone cried

Blackout/Found Poem via “After the Reading” by Tiana Clark https://poets.org/poem/after-reading for #verselove

At the midnight in the silence of the sleep-time When you set your fancies free ...

— Robert Browning, Epilogue

At the midnight

(waiting, as always, for the moon clock to chime, the falling star seconds beckon the eye)

in the silence

(you hold hands, not tongues, in these hours, when the long day's no longer young, but aged in galaxy light)

of the sleep-time

(grass dew pillows beneath your heads, she said earlier how she needs roots and seeds, not feathers, to hold her mind, upright, tonight)

When you set your fancies free

(waxing, not waning, the silver shine always and forever reminds you of her, in the now and for the always, this night when you watched the quiet unfold)

Spin - fidget – spin - my attention is off the charts again and I need distraction in my fingers so I can find a place for my ideas to begin

Who was the first person to think:

I could use oak galls for passable ink?

Who was the one who wrestled with the idea

to ground down the shell and dip in a pen

and wrote out a note, then did it again?

Night sky lunar dance, with Earth as companion; Us, as audience

for Algot

Sunlight smiles between the spaces where shadow memory still slumbers

We're never who you think us to be

We only share part of our identity

the inner life of a writer is a circus of thought

in control and contained by the frame we were taught

for #mastoprompt

nothing ever really lasts -

erstwhile,

what's passed, is past
