Sillionshine @sillionshine.bsky.social · 16hAt noon no hint remains of the pinkish hue of the harbor cliffs at dawn No, they are bright white as if freshly sliced off the land with a giant knife they hurt the eyes At evening they are full gold but already slipping into shadow And when the night comes knowable only by waves #vss365 072

My lips wear rough salt kisses. I stand on the cliffs and read omens pulled by the tide. Be well and avoid my anger. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982 #FolkWitchFriday #WitchSky 11851108

Sillionshine @sillionshine.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Most mornings I'm up before the sun though it is already known by a sickly pewter light. I can see my hand. Now here he comes like a shimmering 24 bit mirage through my coffee haze. It grows like hunger, devouring the bay and mountains, as it shoulders the entire sky. Velvet night. #vss365 0113

A noise that cut through decades back to his father. Gabe looked out at the parched land, a tinderbox of dead wood and brooding ill winds. Just one match...he shivered, cold. #vss365 092
