in full
survival mode
artic fox.
#inkmine #senryu

Raging gusts test
the chimney’s flames,
biting cold forcing
the tenacious birch to renounce,
footsteps fading beneath
the heavy snowfall,
a lonesome swallow perches
on a forgotten postbox
its cry drifting into silence.

#tenacious

Some described him as tenacious
He certainly wouldn’t let go
Quiet patience was capacious
Some described him as tenacious
Need to be right was voracious
When his goal was complete he’d glow
Some described him as tenacious
He certainly wouldn’t let go

something of us
must keep changing
to remain

the flame survives
by renouncing
each shape
it becomes

what is relinquished
becomes its light

some nights
I think about calling you
but what’s the point?
we still won’t do enough
to make it work
I pretend like you’re
miserable without me
that same old Limerence~
the more things change
the more they stay the same

The fields are black

Scorched into oblivion

Wrapped in darkness
a cave discovers tension
as the latest tenacious pestilence
ravages the landscape of Humanity
in a pandemic replay event
we were once again
shamefully unprepared for

I tossed a truth grenade
over the Wall of Ignorance
into the Garden of Propaganda
long #nurtured by slick
orator ministers

The influencer class
easily absorbed the blast
and spun it into today's ration
of mass regurgitated disinformation

Thereby living to lie another day

The survivors
scratch another
mark on the wall.

Land to brainrot's blare,
flip on chance for survival -
the shield of silence.

Put up a poster
The rain came down to soak it
Thereby ruining all

Grieving over gold,
old Silas stayed weaving flax
to #nurture a child.

acorn cups
hoarding squirrels

the chill of winter —
will the wolf survive?

#inkMine

Sorrowed souls stumble
into Baba Yaga's den,
#nurturing her spite.

#Insofar

Insofar, what does it really mean?

IN service
SO one can take others lives
FAR beyond humble beginnings

I nurture
with my practiced selflessness,
tremble
with my alienated skin,
perhaps this evening I won’t
greet your face,
perhaps my dreams will
grant me peace
