Good morning and happy Friday! Here's an old poem I revised for #PoemsAbout #DeadLetters. Thank you as always to @alanparrywriter.co.uk and @thebrokenspine.co.uk

Poem:

Erasure

Here is where time unfolded wings
and flew from

the straight path I had imagined

the stars have shifted, I cannot
navigate this whirligig expanse,

the parallel universe
where you wrote her letters
and she slept in my place.

Now I burn every word,
all the traces, hints, glimpses–

love and us,
erased.

@thebrokenspine.co.uk @alanparrywriter.co.uk #PoemsAbout #DeadLetters Off for a long trip today..I may be sometime. Taking you lovely poets & @hookland.bsky.social with me to Japan via Bluesky. There might be a Haiku. Here's a poem I made earlier.

Missing Ruth

When I took the call
it was from a stranger,
our final time
already torn
from my Filofax rings.

The next time hangs,
pending forever,
exists only in ink
linked with other
sudden cancellations...

because I’ve pencilled you in
wasn’t quite
firm enough.

A verse about pantry moths. Nothing like a kitchen infestation to bring you back down to earth after a beautiful lakeside holiday. Apparently, we weren't the only ones enjoying a little summer break. 🦋😂

At Ledro, green mountains
shouldered the cool lake.

While we swam,

larvae threaded silk
through crumpled packets,
farina, riso, nocciole,

fine strands marking
their quiet passage.

We came home
lake-clean.

I opened cupboards.

Something beats against plastic.
Caterpillars climb the walls.

Dusty wings in the kitchen.

Ledro, Trentino alto Adige, North Italy.

Black velvet acres billowing expectantly. They have walked on the moon, labelled the dark: measured, numbered, categorised through a glass eye. The earth turns in my fishbowl sky. I flex my wings. I do not know when they ceased to be afraid of wonder. #FromOneLine #prompt 429 I do not know
