I’m an athlete, well, considering how bravely I, err… umm… jump to conclusions?

“When #bravery #fizzles out, summoning the #courage — to wade through its departure.”

“You know, it’s gonna bomb?”

“Yes, I’m aware.”

wishing, The End
by C. Oulens


why does the sun go in hiding
why does the sea churn cyclones
why does ice freeze my window
why won’t the wind hum its song 

Don’t they know
The End is just 
wishful thinking when we can’t 
bear love
Don’t they know we’re bonded, to love
E’en tho’ you don’t
love me 
anymore
oh, why does a song 

kill its s o n g
why ought the song 
be your
s o u nd…

~ Post-mortem report ~

Cause of death: self-inflicted loony moony tunes on a #calm -as-a-deadpan-prawn non-day

Exhibit A: #lazy grin on the face of the deceased
Exhibit B: misplaced moonstone at the centre of planetary cereals in a china bowl in the #sink

how do i         talk
my pen’s got a cavity

it distrusts the dentists
and thinks: it’s its hallmark, not a flaw

At the end of ‘we express freely,’ and even though the follow-up notes compared well every tit for tat, the result was not exactly what can be said to be a discontentment-free expression of interest.

The cuckoo sneaks in
her eggs
in the crow’s nest
while he is off
cracking
a bulbul’s eggshell
I, in my mind, stir
a to-do inventory
of salt-and-peppered
permitted #sins,
over some cheesy
greasy omelette

An old piece I had posted during my early days on Threads. Sharing for #vss365 #island

#Oulens
#writingcommunity #poetrycommunity #poetry #BlueskyPoetry

I am an island exploded
into many — scattered
& constellated 
archipelago —
in a sea of weathered soul. 
There’s this one, monumental —
once home to an abode;
a few full of species — Darwin’s finches, 
some yet to be explored;
a few laid bare — an exhibit of stones;
and those tiny dear ones, 
one wouldn’t really care…
Some you touched. 
Some drew your stare.
Some that you sneered at,
and the one 
that scares you off.

The #goodbye #kiss was brief. And confused—undecided where to land. But they hugged like the final #yearning of a battered #sail before detaching from its #wreck.

Davy Jones claimed their kiss—flinging their sunderance together for miles & miles before they...

BREAKING: THE HURRICANE’S NOW PREDICTABLY SPIRALING <yawn stifled> TOWARD THE HEART OF THE MILKY WAY. IT’S UNEXPECTED TO HIT BEFORE CHAOS IS ORDERED.

Time flew
and threw its irony
between a railway station

And no one laughed

A view framed by a weathered stone window opening (in the foreground), looking out onto historic white colonial-style buildings with dark tiled roofs. Outside, a stone staircase leads up to a covered veranda, while the spires of a white church and a single palm tree rise at some distance into a bright blue sky with white scattered clouds.
