In the night, she creeps towards the doorless bathroom with a clear purpose Exhausted humans sleep soundly in the cosy bed of winter dreams The fly screen becomes the misfit instrument as she demands breakfast #vss365 #misfit

I Confess - Allison Luterman

I stalked her
in the grocery store: her crown
of snowy braids held in place by a great silver clip, her erect bearing, radiating tenderness, watching
the way she placed yogurt and avocados in her basket,
beaming peace like the North Star.
I wanted to ask, "What aisle did you find your serenity in, do you know
how to be married for fifty years or how to live alone,
excuse me for interrupting, but you seem to possess
some knowledge that makes the earth turn and burn on its axis-"
But we don't request such things from strangers nowadays. So I said, "I love your hair."

The #trickery of power is flowing water in the hands of great men made of flesh and blood. The clear water continues to flow towards the river of the many, to give them courage. The rich and the poor can hold onto the water of power flowing on, yet so many are changed by the touch. #vss365

The weary, blood-soaked council, they stand around the dark child. The ceremony begins. Anew, the investiture to crown their sea-soaked young queen with traditions on her head. #vss365 #investiture

The anniversary of your death. One year since the touch of your soft hand found the curves of your soulmate's lips. Within the forgotten shadows of the quiet, darkening afternoon, your ghost comes to carry her away. #vss365 #hand

By the moonlit river, sorrow found another heart destined to be lonely. The pulling of a few hairs on the bowed head of a kind, soft-hearted woman. Her glittering eyes arrive to the playful smile of a Sprite. weaving magic and mayhem. #vss365 #Sprite #fairy

A man stands by the sea, looking at the lived years. Soft twilight contemplation, knowing the end is close. The horrors he committed are etched into orange skin. His black tar beating heart, little blood left in his veins. All he longs for is to cement his legacy with destruction. #poetry

Shadows linger in the #corner - Sunlight comes and goes from this place. The Shadows spread towards the bed - something lurks within this old room. Shivers move her to the entrance - silent screaming into the day. Her sweet parents stand behind her - somehow joyful in the moment. #vss365

An indifference spread within you, I cried to the night sky for conversation, and you act as if nothing happened. You strategise our relationship to gain a sense of power. I stand still as the realisation runs through me like a lightning bolt - I must go. #vss365 #lightning

The Moon - a luminous silver ball in a black sky.

I'm learning to take photos of the moon with the camera in my new phone. I'm doing okay. Need more practice.

Two feet dance into the lush, green Autumn grass, to the drums accompanied by a song to the northern winds. The coming of the cold winds sings to them through a dance passed down from thousands of moons ago. The audience is #Spellbound by her ethereal dance. #vss365

He approached her near a florist. She noticed that his fingers were adorned with gold jewellery; he arrived from a gold-painted car, and he smelled like smoke & perfume. 'Will you be my princess?' She politely blurted, ‘I do not wish to wear your Temu Tiara.’ #vss365 #jewelry

We looked towards what was once home. Mum's tears splattered the ground we farmed, and Dad said, 'Don't look back at what we lost.' Unopposed and legitimised, another nation provided us with a forced evacuation order. We take the herd and our lives into the night. #Lebanon #poetry #poem 😥
