The old man and I were talking about virtues. He told me that forgiving is an underrated virtue, a quiet strength that reshapes the person who offers it as much as the one who receives it.
#bravewrite

Can't forgive what I
Can't forget, generations
Of child amputees.

as we #hunger for a real hero
to save us from impending trenches
we impatiently sit in silence
waiting it out on splintered fences

there's no cure no bandage large enough
to apply to piercing #wounds
our best defense diligently preparing
for near future doom & gloom

#BraveWrite #vss365 #poetry

invisible #wounds still following me
my freedom was stripped away
repeatedly bullied so in the dark i stayed

about to find out if i made the right choice
i no longer wish to hide
i've #forgiven myself as of this moment
for taking verbal abuse in stride

palette / carnation / seem / Sep 24

it seemed the colours
on the palette came alive
as carnations bloomed

He strolled into the roller rink under the neon glow, wearing a white sport coat and a pink carnation, looking like he’d stepped straight out of a seventies TV variety show and into the Friday night haze.

Left bereft, alone
With a single carnation,
A clutched memory.

Helions in one sector, and roughnecks in another. Crosstown travels proved precarious; few trafficked in peace, and had only guile and venality in their cold-ass hearts.

#bravewrite

he traveled #crosstown
searching for her favorite flowers - #carnations

hopefully his gift would attract her attention
but doubt quickly set in & he headed back home

better to stay hidden from sight
then fear a public display of rejection

On the crosstown bus, the hum of strangers’ conversations braided into a low, uneasy chorus, and I realized every single one of them was watching me not quite directly, the way people do when you are involved in something and don’t know it.
#bravewrite

Crosstown panic as
Human traffic blocked exits,
Trampled underfoot.
