there’s a poetic #delta between
the known and unknown
seen and unseen
that binds and enriches us
teaches us
reaches us
in ways to make us
understand
in ways that gives us
command
over living dreams
lustful schemes
under luscious, luminous
moonbeams
that mere human survival
dares us
demand

On break, needfully puffing on their cigarettes, the nurses contemplated that their ward was the delta of exhaustion; every smile ended there, every tear began there. They were strong; however, and bucked up to keep going.

The UFO had been stuck in the river for as long as anyone could remember. The water split around it like a #delta or a small island.

Kids would dare each other to swim out and try to open the hatch on top. Ricky claimed he got inside, but that alien skull could have come from anywhere.

crawling king snake
his sliding bottle neck
delta blues.

delta
hidden triangles
hearts
lost in Bermuda
stormy seas
earthquakes
hurricane of love
the salt water
healing as it
washes over me

#vss365

at the #delta
of change
I choose which
of many rivers
to follow
but is it a choice?
or am I simply
taking different paths
to the same ocean?

HISTORY OF WAR

It’s a universal countdown to apocalypse,
#Delta-winged angels spitting lies and megadeath.
All I hear on the radio are rockets from every angle,
And people mumbling such miserable excuses.

The house had been getting smaller.

Doors still fit their frames, furniture stayed put, but Casey couldn’t get over the feeling the walls were closing in. The #delta between measurements proved it.

Yesterday, the hall lost six inches.

Behind the wallpaper, something else was growing.

I was in the middle of my lecture on the Matcha Drawdown Crisis of 96 when I was interrupted by Colonel Chiffon and his soldiers...

After weeks of searching, they found her body, deposited into the #delta of the local river

They thought finding her corpse would provide answers, but it left them with more questions

What kind of creature could have removed all her bones, while leaving her skin intact?

Patiently waiting for the November #Delta to see if we can take the first steps toward getting the country out of the hands of the parasite class and back to the people.

There's nothing more soul-crushing than waiting at the crossroads in the #Delta for the Devil to appear only for him to tell you he's not interested in your soul because you don't play an instrument.
Apparently a full DJ deck doesn't count.

the fish remembers the #delta,

as pain receptors flare along its lip
it takes one last look
one last gulp of air,
before the knife slices through
the silver scales of its belly
(oh, how the fish could shine!)
it blinks one last time, thinks
who knows, maybe heaven is a delta

My eyes glazed over
as my sexy mathematician
bitch of an ex
girlsplained the complex formula
that proved our relationship
no longer added up

Seems the #delta
between her material expectations
and the sum of my net income
exceeded her affections
for soon to be subtracted me

My vomit creeps along the kitchen floor tiles. My lunch carrots gather at the #delta where it flows under the door. The slate is cold against my cheek, but I can't lift my head. The bile makes my lips sore as it dries. I hope my family comes soon. They promised they'd visit, if they had time

Day 650: Woke up. Wrote a poem. Made some art. Pinned it to the Wall. #Delta #vss365

Tempted to rhyme “delta” with “felt ya” and “melt ya” but managed to resist.

More Tomorrow. 🏔️

who knows
from whence the waters came
gravity pulls down
but a countless details
of topograhy
led us to meet
at the moment
we did

and I always though
we would get to the sea
that place
where all love
rests

but I am caught
in the delta
in the thick sediment
of unanswered questions
alone
