Jackboots and book bans,
The death of equality.
Elected evil.

colt-like in her gait
the young girl approaches school
into the paddock

young like washed dawn skies
sun and cloud and speed contained
just barely begun

I pray for clear skies,
Not to see your puny gods.
Just to breathe freely.

like Richard Wright
I want a big bonfire
(look it up!)

bright costumed dancers
quick flicker - pulse to the dirge
of wood's death crackle
#DailyHaikuPrompt - 19 April 2025 - fire.

It feels redundant,
all these blurted I love you's.
Yet each is fresh truth.
Why shy from repeated cheer,
but not its repeated lack?
Nuit chaude
nos corps brûlants
printemps
BONNE NUIT LE #fediverse
JE VOUS AIME !
JOURNAL
le jour diminue, dans une heure il fait nuit et on prendra le bus pour rentrer
j'ai les muscles en bois tellement on a nagé, puis il commence à faire plus froid...
bruit de la mer
cri des oiseaux blancs
fin d'un jour chaud
The dancing red beast
Licks the walls of its stone cage.
Hot angry hunger
Music often heard
my mom's singing in my youth
balsam for my ears

sand frames the weeping
churning water - sand cradles
the land's slow yearning

Castle
Though pain builds a wall
between us, I’ll still hope that
its stones will crumble.

The murmur of sand
And percussion of water.
Holiday soundtrack.
Warm sand, cool water,
Head in sun, waves tickle toes.
A bliss of contrasts.
Flower Power time
unblushing life towards a
mixed gender fashion

Sheer golden wall slips
into shadows’ umbra edge —
Brush on blank canvas
Helpless
I wish my heart's fire
was enough to break through night
and guide you back home.

The nest of your limbs,
Warmth of your breath and body.
The world fades away.
