Faith in The Law of The Holy Kingdom
again and again,
i gather thin scraps of ribbon

and i tie lovely bows
around my ****** ankle bones
that have become exposed
from the years of pulling away

these velvet knots are all i have
to anchor me to this life

my will to stay is fragile
and it is delicate

it is quick to unravel
it always has been

16.07.24
my will to live is fragile
it is quick to unravel

but it's the best i can do...
this is the best i can do.
I think it's the fact
That I never let my inner child
Go

She and I play all the time
Daydream together
Muse about the what ifs

And we still don't know what we wanna
Be

But she and I are fine with that
We laugh about it
Giggle about the what could have beens

But she is easy to hurt
Thin skinned
The world is mean
And she and I
Are thick as thieves
I know her like the back of my hand
And her heartache
Is mine
Do you think we’re the sort of girls to sit around on a Sunday night?
EAH (loud buzzer sound) you’d be wrong!!

What’s the opposite of seasonal depression - seasonal euphoria?
I’m self-diagnosing here, but I think I’ve got it.
I have all the symptoms:

Excessive happiness: a level of joy statistically improbable.
Compulsive smiling: grinning under the most mundane circumstances.
Irrational optimism: the feeling everything will turn out all right.
Compulsive socializing: relentlessly engaging in parties and outings.
Impulsive behavior: capricious decisions that lead to.. stuff.
Difficulty focusing: trouble concentrating on ‘serious subjects.’
Increased appetites: A craving for.. everything fun.

I have to call it. The symptoms are limpid, my diagnosis is:
Summer, seasonal euphoria, and it feels pretty good.

BLT Merriam Webster word of the day challenge: Limpid: describes things that are perfectly clear.
Restrained. A day
wasted again to find the truth
of pearl without oyster.

Go ahead. You will
not cross anything. Stealth hurts. You
will suffer silently. A love within a love.

Go, when you walk
on hands in sleep. It was the heart bleeding
for jasmines in the sun falling on dust.
Smells like
diesel
Tastes like
fire
Exit
burning
Kindled  
liars

First step
taken
Through the
flames
Ghosts left
melting
Tracks
— of pain

(Dreamsleep: July, 2024)
summer thunderstorms
cymbal crashing arrival
leaving quiet peace
