Dragonflies moving
Looking around for dinner
Under gusty winds

Dragonfly travels
Routines below gust of wind
Wings of character

"The Zombie Apocalypse"

from "Contact Light" (Alien Buddha Books, 2025)

All of Earth’s surfaces are rough and dry,
with unhealed wounds that fester and degrade;
her once-bright seas are yellow-brown and still
beneath the scum of plastic, sunlight-bleached.

Even her skies are scarred by streaks of high
and soiled-white clouds that drift and give no shade,
that never rain upon her grassless hills,
that hold their acid moisture out of reach.

Somehow the planet staggers on her course
around the sun, long dead, decayed, but kept
in motion by a dark, unvital force.

Poets of Bluesky — I built something small.

You send a poem to a random stranger. They read it and write back with honest feedback. No profiles, no metrics. Just the poem.

Healing Slow

some dude tryna heal
broken heart
no much clue
love grammar update
remind later

tbh never knew
loving isn't protection
wanting peace so much
a child wages war

observe and adapt
soul running on OODA
clocking micro expressions
potential tone warnings

optimized for life preservation
maximizing life consumption
love fighters
anti-drone guns firing blind
resources prioritized for war

alone at the front
sacrificing for others
feelings from lyrics
herbs for joy
oozing certainty
falling for familiar
hit me again

I'm no idiot
I just..
I just didn't knowkill 'em all

"Crime and Punishment".

#poem #poetry #skypoets #blueskypoets #poetsofbluesky #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity #ballad

There’s a flame at the heart of the gem,
                and a gem at the heart of the flame,
for the fire burns green in the eye of a god
                in a temple that no-one can name.

But the twin of the eye is not there —
                it was taken by scholars who came
from an empire whose greedy and arrogant hands
                spanned the oceans and stole without shame.

Though the god in the temple is small,
                and of worshippers now is bereft,
yet it has enough power to reach out one last time
                to achieve its revenge for the theft.

There’s a flame at the heart of the gem,
                and a gem at the heart of the flame,
for the fire burns green in the eye of a god
                in the hand of a thief who lies still in a quad
                on his back with his mouth full of rain.

Half a Second 📎

For half a second, you did not look away.

#willowflame #PoetsOfBlueSky

A monochrome collage on an off-white paper background. On the left, typewriter-style text reads: “I compressed an entire human experience into four lines and a JPEG. Someone scrolled past it in half a second. Still—for half a second, I existed inside another mind.” On the right, a black-and-white instant-photo-style image, held by a paperclip, shows blurred figures walking through a train station.

To Be Witnessed 📷

Do not bleach my rage into something tasteful.

#willowflame #PoetsOfBlueSky

Black-and-white photograph of a person in dark clothing holding a vintage camera at waist level, their hands layered over one another and adorned with rings. The right side fades into deep black negative space with white typewriter-style text reading: “To be witnessed is not to be sanitized, censored, or saved.”

They really don't warn you growing up that losing a best friend can be just as painful as losing a lover. Years now, and it's only dulled with time...

Text:
Title - I Lost Mine
"They say we have several soul mates
It felt like you were one of mine
Ten years went by of just you and I
Nights, days, weeks spent together
One moment it was us, the next only me
Left a hole in my soul that won't get better
A wound in me like a chopped down tree
They say we have several soul mates
I lost one of mine."

Image:
Behind the poem is an image of the night sky, filled with stars and galaxies. A man stands in complete shadow, looking up at the sky with hands in his pockets. Only joined by an evergreen, standing opposite of him, also entirely in shadow.
