liars of me
flower around
a black-eye.

rays altogether
buckling at the moon,
like a satellite
saddled with
too much light.

i howl my names
till they brown-out;
uplink to wilt.

#poetry #poem #writingcommunity How I love Jim Moore’s poetry… From his book, Invisible Strings
LOVE IN THE RUINS

I remember my mother toward the end,
folding the tablecloth after dinner
so carefully,
as if it were the flag of a country that no longer existed,
but once had ruled the world.

One of the cooler things about the Yakuza franchise, you get a get a character like Koichi Adachi who is *about* to become a pensioner, but gets fired from his job and joins your party. The exact antithesis of a young androgynous boy saving the world. 😆

ball the moon
in your throat
with more rubber bands.

to become an astronaut,
prepare to bounce
when you have to crash

when the sea craters
with what's left of you,
blues like a hickey

how it heals
to be crushed again,
by the same crush.

@ybbaaabby.bsky.social I regret to say, after y'all brainstormed titles for your playthrough of RE9, I myself only just thought of the super obvious "Requiem for a Scream". And you were *very* close! *snaps fingers in disappointment*

Two plays the best so biggest points for accessibility; Three is a nearly complete anachronism on the level of Shenmue III (oddly released the same year). 2>1>3.

This
SENTENCE

It's as if you'd woken in a locked cell and found
in your pocket a slip of paper, and on it a single sentence 
in a language you don't know.

And you'd be sure this sentence was the key to your 
life. Also to this cell.

And you'd spend years trying to decipher the sentence, 
until finally you'd understand it. But after a while 
you'd realize you got it wrong, and the sentence meant 
something else entirely. And so you'd have two sentences.

Then three, and four, and ten, until you'd created a new language.

And in that language you'd write the novel of your life.
And once you'd reached old age you'd notice the door of the cell
was open. You'd go out into the world. You'd walk the length and
       breadth of it,

until in the shade of a massive tree you'd yearn
for that one single sentence in a language you don't know.
                   
                                                      --Tadeusz Dąbrowski

         (Translated, from the Polish, by Antonia Lloyd-Jones.)

Sometimes I get the feeling that the term "blue-black" is to poets what "limn" is to Michiko Kakutani. It's kind of a big turn off, lol.

Static

The body contains little echo or lightning.
I am not an island, says the woman without a face, but 
probably a clock, or an anvil.
Everything present is struck exactly once.
You keep your hands caged to teach them a lesson.
Everything absent increases our risk.

Lost's "lowest point? . . . a maligned episode dedicated to explaining the significance of Jack Shepard’s tattoos". Dark Ties is the Yakuza equivalent. "It’s content for the sake of content . . . And as fate would have it, Dark Ties explains the significance of Mine’s tattoos, too".

my poem in @somewordslit.bsky.social
Really, Really Well

It rained. It was raining.
We waited inside the paint cans.

Your paint can was sundrop.
My paint can was gun.

The wind was standing by the pantry.
Eyeing the eyeglasses.

Looking deeply into the seasoning beside
the giant mugs of coffee.

The coins and the fake teeth
and the cheese whiz were not ours.

I wanted to tell you first, how
I'm sending a message to the chili committee.

It will make everything okay.
Once it's sent, we'll be doing really well for ourselves.

Really, really well. We wait for our paintings to dry.
Our paintings are made of stray cattle.

Our paintings are made of glass.
When the time comes, you add, the sea will no longer sing.

I gather my things and read by the pool.
Life is cruel yet my arms still work.

Richard Siken in the underside of language after his stroke. Making do with the language of the underside. Yardstick I was heavy. I was bricks. Above the bed, the ceiling and the stars. Below the bed the floor, the earth, then out the other side and stars. I fell in all directions.

Happy to have two small poems in the beautiful new volume of @petrichorlit.bsky.social! Here’s one: petrichormag.com/29-pebbles-v...
The Quiet Car
My heart surgery was going well, the train conductor told me. He said, be aware of your surroundings. I told him not to worry, but when I looked around me, I wasn't so sure. Who were these other patients in the car? And where the hell did all of their hearts go?

#Poetry helps. If you're in need of some fresh poems, maybe you'd like a signed copy of *Becoming Altar*. DM if interested. I cover postage; you pay only the cover price.
Book cover in blue with yellow type.Another Death Poem

It's everywhere I look: leaf fall, roadkill,
sleeping with swords. To sleep with swords
means a dive beneath danger, lying still,
camouflaged like a bug. Statued like a rabbit,
let the threat move first. Time will tell what it tells;
you can't count on that either. Hard ground's
a fabric woven all through with lies
that truth outlasts. It's trust that
or go with the lies wholly? Navigate
rust and decay. But who's who? Cling
to the whole fabric, pick and discard.
Impossible. Necessary. Not a trap.
Choose just a few lies for seasoning. 
Bee stings. Birdsong. Foothold.

The emotional significance of objects sends ripples through our lives, which is why this is often my final poem when I give a reading. It's taken from my second full collection, Whatever You Don't, Just Don't. If you fancy a signed copy, drop me a DM and I'll sort one out for you...

Fingers crossed ... a part of me recoils at Sleeping Dogs being described as a "cult classic"; it has always deserved a lot more eyeballs than that implies.
