The importance of being on Twitter.

Naming the color of the sky
at just this hour, gray or lilac or rose,
& turns to nothing special in an hour:
"Exodus theme" by Edith Piaf. Frore
only by contrast, walk from fence to alley.
The war's not lost; this loss is still so early.
Our plight which we could not imagine, gets
exacting more as day by day it blurts
impossible news; borne on our crystal ship
Atlantean sails have filled with outward thrust
irresistible & winedark
naming the color of the sky.

Art Deco Egyptian Revival.

When all reality has become surreal, remembering when it wasn't surreal will still be surreal.

"Sophi tallies how much of an article is read, how many times it is shared and commented on, and most importantly, whether it being behind a paywall spurs anyone to buy a subscription."

Giselian Gambit

No! We talk lawsuit
in the marble halls

in the marble halls
of murder hornets

blue years and unopened medicines

"...black for the grief of a prisoner, yellow for the fear you must be feeling deep down..."

"...it is tempting to agree with Elgin, who argued that Láadan failed because women were reluctant to speak a language that forced them to parse their feelings so thoroughly."

On Witness and Repair.

Sometimes there's nothing that i want
a stillness on the sun-filled air
to ply with gems the webinar
a house without the house's taint

sometimes i only sit & stare
a ghost bemused for how to haunt
this track comprised of scattered spraint
goes yearning-quelled & miles too far

I am a nesting doll for griefs.

"flung onto a sinking boat, splash the kapok’s bark
through rot & iron of a city trying to forget"

"Stranger, where goest thou, in the sad raiment of a pilgrim, with shattered sandals retaining the dust and mire of so many devious ways? With thy brows that alien suns have darkened, and thy hair made white from the cold rime of alien moons?" --@KlarkashT

Access Mars.

we are the well ones
with well kept lawns
cocooned from fuss
& from desperate loss
we are the well ones

we keep good watch
we know so much

castles, castles
with draw bridges up
we are the ones
who will call a cop

Blade Runner reality--the final cut.

"Even thus, amid the waste of all fair things that were,
Of high marmoreal dreams immense and overthrown,
I wait forever, and about my face is blown
The sand of crumbling cenotaph and sepulcher."

--@KlarkashT

The serpent calls.

the angel i contend with
is not so easily grasped
a parable in shadow
crisp-edged Boreas

Fez belgards irregardless
a job for topology
rather than zyxt alembic
or angst zymurgy

bane of Carcosa

"...Omulu has the great power to cause an epidemic, but at the same time to cure any illness."

"Abroad in armes, at home in studious kind
Who seekes with painfull toile, shall honor soonest find.

In woods, in waues, in warres she wonts to dwell,
And will be found with perill and with paine;
Ne can the man, that moulds in idle cell,
Vnto her happie mansion attain;
Before her gate high God did Sweat ordaine,
And wakefull watches euer to abide:
But easie is the way, and passage plaine
To pleasures pallace; it may soone be spide,
And day and night her dores to all stand open wide."

--The Faire Queene, II.3

"So in this great disaster of our birth
We can be happy, and forget our doom."
