Window's winter birds a bouncy branch display -- birds not snowflakes yet #haiku

The feeling itself is ... well? Lovely. It's the experience that comes w/ the unfolding of the feeling that I've come not to trust. How can I 2 years ago have told you I was pretty much in love with you, & we've been thru some stuff ... and now again I ...? So: another One ... who's the last?

As soon as she scolds me for something real, I'll be happy.

It took my doctor lady to tell me about my testosterone and about the coming winter STORM, neither of which I knew about. Can't do anything 'bout a power outage but am washing my underwear whether it needs it or not.

Also: Only after repeated incidents did people notice the pattern: dead or sick animals often meant a gas leak nearby. In some neighborhoods, the sudden death of animals became an unspoken warning that the street itself was dangerous. #Victorian #gasleak #cats #dogs #birds #history

Do you ever really have your heart till someone awakens it?

"No goop for you! Come back ONE YEAR!"

She posted again after a month. She surely hates me.

I am only self-taught in writing. Not even that -- I just absorbed whatever I did from reading all my life.

It's like that peanut butter you told yourself you'd never stir again...

I suspect to successfully market a book, one must be a better marketer than writer.

She's so sweet it's not even hunny

#vss365 (2024) Fainting so #lithe, never missing her mark She is so blithe, I'm playing her part Tells truth thru lies, her deftness has heart My part a tithe, a tenth for a start

You have exactly 10 of your Earth minutes...

I'm out! They don't need to know where.. Just tell em Alice is OUT

No one knew when it happened, but they'd gone from forever to whatever. #untagged

If I can think about going out till it's too late, then I don't have to go out. But I also won't get the thrill of coming back.

I'm multiphrenic

Tit-for-tat would suck

Unhurried, Exquisite, Those nights you Visit. A tribute in me, No posing fee, is it; Your body a tree Flowering in my eyes, Languid landings As you sway, Uncowering me;

Resolutions revolve, don't resolve.

#vss365 You are in the volume of the book, #unmissable, large-written. Arrive at my margins in time, I'm smitten, use what's confined to open my mind.

A sure way to make another feel cut off is trying to make yourself known to them.

I don't get to make it up, I get to watch it happen.

This got almost 30 Likes on X today, not one here. Just bc I didn't use the #vss365 tag. So Bsky doesn't even algo me into For You or anywhere.

The Nobel Committee gives literature prizes for works they consider positive about the human condition & the world. Samuel Beckett's entire oeuvre was negative. That's not a condemnation of him -- I love the man. Yes, he had humor, but that's different. His futility was supreme.

The answers you allow in only solidify the questioner, who will always ask and never know. #untagged

There's nothing, nothing ... but the slipping back. So easy.

People don't know what I don't know, and it's a good thing too.

“Soliloquy” How can I think my silence eloquent When you’ve not even the ear for it? Earrings, yes; and eyes set in glass. You stun me with breezy about-face, A nicely dressed deception-- Further adorned by my heart And bid goodbye with bile. _________ #untagged #poem

Things are OK not because you say they are, but when you just realize they are. #untagged
