#sunflowers

I could never grow one
sunshine reaching
for the sky
watered fertilizer
It never looked like
the photograph
in a magazine
tears in my eyes
the day
the sunflower died

Digital, magical, something unknown, she’ll track me. How do I dissociate from the moss and mushroom siren? All I want is my life back. She tells me, I’ll drown in my own blood as witches advocate. No way out. Help me!

There's a loop playing out my window
- a wedge of blue, 
more colours than I thought I knew
and puffy clouds drift, a little bottom-heavy

Alone in this spectrum,
defined by #mushroom's lectern,
from knotted pine 
comes strange inflection;
words slotted in time

 'There I am…' 
a man again,
or so reflection tells
A fleeting glimpse;
a blink's detection,
removes the wolfen-lore's infection,
and out the window, once again
The loop returns once more.

His dick looks like a #mushroom
his skin is tangerine
his hands are girlie his mind is squirrely
he's demented gross and mean
he has no use for truth or grace
just one big smarmy scam
from head to toe a huge disgrace
an orange glazed fucking ham

#mushrooms spring up
in our yard overnight
he decides to put it on pizza
to save a few dollars
what harm can it do?
I try to tell him otherwise
but he is adamant
He's mad when I decline
to eat a piece of it
because he spent time
cooking it
f around and find out

Summer's end leaves morbid husks
standing guard, heads bowed at dusk
wilting, weeping, row by row
#sunflowers bend in slumber's tow.
Their tears fall dry - the seeds they sow
will rise exhumed from graves of snow
to bask in warmth the sun does send
until again, comes summer's end.

Falling

One yellowing, heart-shaped leaf cannot hold on to the aspen any longer. Green protruding veins still reminisce about Summer. A decorous deception. Nobody can vanquish death.

I observe the aspen heart dance through the air past a few last sunflowers that are reflecting golden hues. Then, it veers towards rugose hydrangea. Perhaps it admires how beautifully they are ageing.

It does not make a difference, I think, as a sequel to memories unravels feelings I hoped had long gone. Now they are towering over me like monuments of shame and regret.

I know they are not mine. It was just convenient to park them in my nervous system. That one, that feels too much and bothersome to others. It seems people can never make up their minds.

Your rasping breath mixes with the aspen's susurration. The effects of the cough syrup must be wearing off. I shake the empty bottle and set it aside.

The dancing heart of gold sails on as I walk into the kitchen to fetch our steak knife. One clean cut takes care of it.

The aspen heart lands the instant the first drop of blood hits the floor.

They gave me a sunflower lanyard at the airport. Oh that’s pretty I thought. Then on the train I saw a man wearing one. Oh he must have been on the same flight...Then at a bus station I saw a woman wearing one & she reminded me of me so I googled it. Oh that’s what it means!

I never saw them turn their faces anywhere but down, heads bowed in a south-facing thirst.

I would sow them in pairs, and you're meant to uproot the weaker one, but I never could.

There they'd grow, two-by-two, standing tall like giraffes in the ark, unfurling.

Today’s Friday October 9th prompt is #mushroom #thingstowriteabout

The words “mushrooms playing cards” are visible over illustrations of various fungi.

Sunflower surprise,
Greeted by happy yellow
Heads, stretching petals.
