'Call Them' (read freely here) degen3rate.art/2025/08/24/c... #poetry #poems #photography #dark #writing

""I'm fine"
If you ask me
that question again,
I'll think you really care,
and you're going to hear
a terrible thing or two
that might ruin your day.

"Don't worry about it"
I'll worry about it instead,
and probably all week—
Wondering what I did wrong,
or what I could do
so that you don't ever
have to hear me
apologizing again.

"I’ve got a lot going on"
Beneath all the labor
of the year,
I am busy
trying to convince myself
to kill myself.
So, I ask for your patience,
as I am also busy
trying to convince myself
not to kill myself.

" . . . "
I had to put the guns away.
I sat in the dark
for hours without realizing.
I don't remember when I last showered.
I broke down and cried
on the floor again.
I have been fantasizing about death.
I need help."

as a pale text over faces in the dark.

Now that I'm a serious writer, I never leave the house without my: a) fancy wood pen with fancy wood foldy case b) tungsten carbide-tipped, screw-sealed, full-steel body, tactical pen #WritingCommunity #WriterSky #writing #pens

a) a wooden pen and case. b) a black steel pen. Both are on a wooden background.

Cleaned some cobwebs out the corners of the archive. Had to crack the ol finger bones and break out some CSS, but I'm happy with it (changes literally so inconsequential, bonus points to any brave soul who can even tell what's different) degen3rate.art #web-development #WriterSky #Writing

You know, I've had dreams of all of human civilization being reduced to nothing but ash and cinder by the mere perturbations of the titanic thermonuclear reactor holding our solar system together. Supposedly this sort of CME "superflare" cannot happen but wouldn't it be interesting if it did? ☺️

Zapped the active post tags on my blog from +600 to ~70... maybe Google will stop yelling at me now I think it's mostly for indexing and page ranking, but I guarantee my SEO manager WILL come up with another creative way to waste an evening of mine... #web-development #WritingCommunity #WriterSky

if i stop i will die if i stop i will die if i stop i will die 'Sharksleep' #photography #writing #WritingCommunity #BlueskyWritingCommunity #WriterSky #poetry #poems #poet #poets #dark #DarkArt degen3rate.art/2025/07/03/s...

a dark texture which the following poem is overlaid:
‘Sharksleep’
I have heard that sharks might die
Of suffocation when they still.
To no end do they wander or try
And anchor against the current’s will,
In search of places they may lie.
Lately,
When I settle down
For rest well-deserved,
I feel that I am drowning.
Am I a shark?

Guess we need more countries publicly denouncing Zionists, illegal settlers, and the actions of the IDF and Mustafa, then... Otherwise the killings, starvation, and bombings will continue until morale improves

Am I glad more people are reading? Yes Am I glad women are getting more representation and support from literary efforts? Yes Do I wish the basis for that success was not largely pornographic and objectifying? Yes Do I care enough about what adults do with their spare time to lecture? No

Writing pro tip: There's no "correct" way to write. Really, there's just a million "wrong" ways to write. The more flaws you remove from your work, the more resonant it becomes. Focus on what you're doing wrong, not what you "need" to do. Cut the noise; you'll find your voice. #Writing #WriterSky
