For whom the shoe fits

#PoemsAbout #Rot #Poetry @thebrokenspine.co.uk

voyeur destroyer what you’re sniffing for ain’t a search for beauty or truth is it but to feed the rot, satisfy a sickness is it not

Here’s one for #PoemsAbout #Rot Thanks as ever to @thebrokenspine.co.uk

Rot Apples slump beneath the tree, their sweetness turning, their skins split open to wasps, mould, the soft insistence of the earth. Wood darkens at the edges. Bark gives up its hardness. Underneath, the pale threads of fungus move quietly through the wreckage, stitching fallen things together. There is heat in it, low, damp, held close, the mulch steaming faintly when the morning turns cold. Everything firm is being persuaded out of its shape: leaf into loam, flesh into richness, the fallen branch into something roots can enter. And below all this yielding, blind as hunger, the earth grows dark with what it has been given.

Sweet Spores! No Shit! We just fucked the rot! Why else would it smell so sweet in the goo, beneath mushrooming fungi? by C. Oulens

Eyeless in Mycelia Become the Predator you Purport to Be: Soften your gaze, Relax your focus, Suspend your watch, and We will Scatter-gun your Retina with our Fruiting forms. Pluck and Pluck again - You cannot Kill us. These are not Blossoms, but Excretal blooms of our Ungual-plated Needlework. Your Delight at our Fetid, fleshy Polyp rooted no doubt in Unchecked pica: Oyster-grit nose junk, Salted-crunch eye gunk, Gristly scurf-scab. Masters of abjection, we Cannot be seen, Cannot be unseen. Masters of degradation, we Repel nostril, Addle decorum, Reek of your Fragility. You keep upright Stinkhorn hidden away under Lock and key from Wanton maid and stable lad; Cremate its tumescence in Drawing-room Fireplace. Unbeholden to your Sighted kind, we are Pitch-black, eyeless Viscera and lumina - Blind-tangle of filament Free-forking over Mile and Millennia. In Frosted charnel grounds, we Erupt as Thawed corpse-fingers, Feeding indigent folk at the Dead heart of Winter. ©Jan Peters/Solivagant Wisdom, 2026 ©Jan Peters, 2024 Image of fruiting bodies of Coprinus comatus glistening in the autumn sun

A small study in distance, denial and cut flowers.

#poemsabout #rot #poetrysky #poetsky

STILL FLOWERS The flowers lasted eighteen days. I know because I counted. By six, the water had gone cloudy. By nine, the first stem bent. By thirteen, they had started leaning on each other for structural reasons. I changed the water anyway. From the kitchen door they still looked like flowers. I tried the hallway. Still flowers. The sofa: flowers. Three feet away: less convincing. Up close they had become a collection of failures, minor and major. Apparently beauty has a minimum viewing distance. Nobody tells you this. Museums know it. Pointillists knew it. By eighteen I knew it too.

If you like our #PoemsAbout prompts, you should be reading the poets we publish.

#BlackSky. #NoFuture. #AfterTheSirens. #WhatRemains. #EndOfSummer.

LAST LIGHT lives somewhere beyond all of them.

Apocalypse poetry for uncertain times.
