I do not know what you wish to know though I'm quite sure I wrote it clear in every language over there long ago You can ask again use a sunny voice, your friendly face while I look for time You may try your best command raise a blistered, threatening hand I do not know any more~ #FromOneLine 429

Yesterday, I intended to venture outside the boundaries of my walls. Change is beneficial, I have overheard a variety of voices claim. Morning rituals: Stretching. Reading. Humming. Cat petting. List making. I stepped outside but not beyond my yard. I #tend not to follow through.~ #vss365 (tend)

They laid out the red carpet for us. The hype, I do admit, went to my head. Understand that I was before quite an honest and humble person. It simply became tiresome to explain to starry-eyed, gleeful strangers that I was not who they thought I was. My trial begins in three days.~ #FromOneLine 423

I was stuck on the wrong day. One red door between here and tomorrow. One shaded window. Too high. I could plead but who might hear? I could take the corner. Wait. Hope for discovery. Mercy. I conjure rainclouds. Wings at my back. The ghost of me slips through a crack in the wall.~ #FromOneLine 422

In that place everyone had #fleas. We didn’t attempt to control them or eradicate. Scratch scratch became a kind of membership code. Not exactly a secret corps, but community emerges as community decides. People want to belong. To matter to someone. It was brief but for awhile, we all did.~ #vss365

The orange-bottomed bumblebee left no trail. Salvia was completely ignored, although they’d once been close. Some rumoured Jasmine had consumed him whole. Her fragrance entranced many gullibles. At the meeting, new hummmingbird moved they not succumb to rumour. Some misunderstood.~ #FromOneLine 420

Wait for evenfall. You can exhale then. Feel your heartbeat slow to rhythm. The worst loosens. Fragments break off and fall away like first snow. You could close your eyes. Sigh. But you want this presence. Yearn for it. Lift your arms. It’s alright. You are unobserved here.~ #vss365 (evenfall)

A child’s project depicting a paper wreath made of sixteen pink, orange, red, and yellow heart shapes with the word Love with the ‘o’ in the shape of a heart, pasted onto a red rectangle of paper at the centre. The wreath hangs by a red ribbon on a door of ornate silver wrought iron, white panes, and opaque glass.

She calls it a term of endearment. Really? Shouldn’t I feel all warm and special when she utters it then? Words have effect. I keep reminding her. She smirks and points to her new red dictionary. Chill, my soft Puplet #Pulp Poo, she puffs. I hear barking. My life needs rearranging.🪶 #vss365 (pulp)

I stopped for corn. Found a pumpkin patch. A small boy told me he’s going to find his perfect pumpkin somewhere out there. Autumn.
A pumpkin patch field with the shell of an old car as prop. Hay bales decorated with an array of pumpkins sit next to the car and a “driver” behind the wheel inside, probably stuffed with hay. Tall cornstalks and a row of deciduous trees in the background. A warm autumn scene.

I read an article beginning with ‘oh we know you probably won’t read this’. Kinda cheap, I thought, then read on. Attention span stuff. Encouraging to read with more pause/depth/investment. Yes, ok. Then it declared ‘for Gen X’ and I don’t know the boundaries. An invitation into exclusion.🪶 #vss365

Early morning sounds can seem imaginary. And I was thinking of that soggy hike in Ireland. It was near home though and the purple bell was around the neck of a friendly brown dog. Apparently I carried the password so the #bellwether licked his ok. I followed him up and around.🪶 #vss365 (bellwether)
