I keep reading posts about people changing how they write to avoid sounding like AI but if my writing sounds like AI it’s because they stole my shit. And if you change how you write, they’re just gonna steal that shit, too. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

BREAKING: In an interview this morning Donald Trump was asked if his announcement that he intends to run for a third term means Barack Obama can run a third time too, and he got silent and frowned for several seconds, folded his arms across his chest, and said, “No.”

Figured it was a good day to share this. Published by Poetry Catalog in 2025. Find links to my other works at allisonwaltersluther.com.

Poem reading:

Revolution

Those who crown the king
rule the world
while those below suffer
at the whims of evil
and the smug disregard of apathy

So we must
walk the bloody road
breathe the fire of hope
and bind our wounds
until we can fight again

We will not kiss the ring
of those who mean us harm

Instead
we weep over our own graves
and swear to Death
we are still alive

My poem 'Liminal,' published by @bluevillamag in 2024. I’ve always thought ‘liminal’ was a beautiful word: “Occupying a position at, or on both sides, of a boundary.” I feel like most of my life has been spent in that space. You can find links to this and my other pieces at allisonwaltersluther.com

Dark background with blurred white flowers. Poem reads:
Liminal

Mourn by day
Weep by night
For the things you’ve given
And no one returns
As you teeter on the sharpest edge
Between the end and
Freedom

Hannah Arendt. 1944. “The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced communist, but the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction no longer holds.” And they are all on social media.

Bourbon and Wet Pavement, published by Suburban Witchcraft Magazine last year. Inspired by my visit to Mardi Gras in 2002. You can find links to this and my other pieces at allisonwaltersluther.com.

Closed businesses on rainy street. Poem reads:
Bourbon and Wet Pavement

Bourbon and wet pavement
where hope still shines
among the debris of the living
cast aside like so many trinkets
thrown in hope and prayer

And non-believers can fall in love
in the night
with the night
just for a night
filled with laughter

Despite the soldiers in the shadows
snarling in pain and desperation
music still plays on
louder than the fear

It’s odd. You have a chunk of the line of succession gathered at one event, and no IDs are required. Identification was not needed to enter the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. Only a ticket was required to get into the ballroom. Nowhere in the hotel was an ID necessary.

For an attorney to resort to extortion to clear his client isn't ideal. For an attorney to undertake that extortion expressly and in a public is incredibly stupid.

'Sepia' published by @bluevillamag in 2024. I've included it in my Colo(u)rs series, tho the case could be made ‘sepia’ is not necessarily a color as such. Per an editor friend: "'Sepia' is a sadness I wish I didn't relate so much to." Find links to the rest of my works at allisonwaltersluther.com

Poem on sepia background:
Sepia

Sepia is the color of nightmares
That have lost their horror
And their sharp edges have dulled
So when they scratch you
You no longer bleed

Sepia is the color of dreams
Long since dead
Colors fading until
You can almost remember
What happiness was

Sepia is the color of memories
Cobwebs swirling in
Hurricanes
Always just out of reach
Like peace

Sepia is the color of loss
Times of nevermore
In raven sharp form
With the pain of knowing
But not forgiveness

YEARNING. Published by Blue Villa Magazine in 2024. I love the silence in the world after a snowfall, don't you? Come see this and my other works at allisonwaltersluther.com.

Light blue background with white daises and blue heart. Text is a poem called 'Yearning'.
The storm raged its last breath
In the night
Leaving the world muffled
In the fuzzy light shimmering
Through the light blue curtains
With hopeful white daisies

No sound from outside
No wind
No birdsong
No humanity
Everything muted
As if reality has
Fallen out of existence

The air has a heaviness
Of light, not weight
Both winsome and strong
As so often happens
In the silence of snow
When every creature
Holds its breath
In awe

The warmth of the bed clings
Its light blue comforter
With hopeful white daisies
Like an extra skin over
The lovers
Fingers trailing as
They wish
Swept up in the sound
Of two hearts beating
With the promise
Of a new day

My poem, 'Forgotten,' published by @bluevilla.org in 2024. Find links to my other works at allisonwaltersluther.com.

Monotone pic of beach. Poem:
Forgotten

Days, weeks, months, years
washed by anguish and
made of sea-swept salt
until the edges are both
silk and razor

Each memory different from the others
when you lean in close,
eyes wide and searching
but as you move away
through time and life
they are all the same

Remembered only with the greatest effort
lost more often than found
smaller than grains of sand
and just as infinite

How many hourglasses of time
did it take to build the dunes
where the memories lay
forgotten?

Another from my "Colo(u)rs" collection, 'Gray' was published by @bluevilla.org in 2024. You can find links to my other works at allisonwaltersluther.com

When the voices of ghosts
who walk the halls echo
And whispers come from dark corners
of empty rooms
Memories obscured by
curtains of mist hang at dusk
long after all the leaves have fallen
Haunted by those we cannot remember
and those we wish we could forget
Like a metronome that skips a beat
so do we skip faded heartbeats
When everything is
gray
