Parents Weekend

Let's workshop this poem about a father and daughter confronting a shared history, an unspoken buildup over a decade, at a house party whose anonymity requirements enable the most addictive healing.

Black and white photo of a praying mantis. Triangular head with threadlike antennae extending in opposite directions. Large round eyes with pinprick dots in the center of each. Raised ridges run down from antennae attachment points towards tip of mouth. Long, thin body, blurred, descends at a slight (10°?) angle from the head. Front legs reach out at a 45° angle towards bottom left. Mostly out of frame: the remains of the bumblebee mantis is eating. Background is the blurred foliage of a butterfly bush.

reflection ripples
the pilgrim drinks his own face -
sweet like Narsissus.

On a black and star field background, a non-AI tagged Pixabay image of an android is shown. The android seems to be contemplating the #ScifaikuSaturday hashtag. A blue, rectangle outline highlights the image and hashtag.

beneath the moon
a thousand broken masts
point towards heaven
like prayers
that never arrived

where a siren's call
becomes an invitation

and every warning
a love song in disguise

The Art of Your Fingers
I imagine your fingers
moving slowly across my skin,
your dark nails leaving
little echoes of pleasure
where your touch has been.

If we were to swim inside
The vast sea of faces to hide
Who we are, it wouldn’t be difficult
To be swallowed whole by the masses...

This lust emerges
From unplumbed depths, a siren
Offering moist fruit

Under lunar lights
Sweet sirens serenade, I
Longingly listened
