Fall Away From Time
WordPress Daily Prompt – Silent Silence sounds like … Your spirit spinning Out of control to the DJ. Your breath slowing In puffs of hazy cigarette smoke. Your heart pounding Under the soft weight of my hand. Your smile against My hair under the cold moon. The fading drops Of my rocks failing to skip.…

The Last Twinkies
WordPress Daily Prompt – Varnish The varnish on the wood steps is peeling away, cracking and splintering like the shards I’ve begun to feel in my soul. How long … I wonder. Has it always been that way or did it degrade suddenly and explosively? Just like this world? Just like me? Maybe it was…

One-Way Street
WordPress Daily Prompt – One-Way In the dream I’m standing at the intersection again. There’s the green truck, barreling towards the stop sign. The driver, otherwise preoccupied, with his head lolling back and his eyes half closed will never even brake. The little red car will never see it coming, they will never realize he’s…

It Beats in Perfect Time
WordPress Daily Prompt – Percussive Your soul is a percussive instrument, beating and vibrating, keeping time with the wants and needs bouncing through your mind. You’re projecting, sending pulsing signals out into the world with every move you make, vibrations in colored solar flares to tell every soul what you seek, what they can help…

I Can’t Keep Count

I walk it over and over, Shuffling through the shattered memories. They poke and they prod, Stirring the most sensitive parts of me. Yet I…

Oh, today’s theme is riff? Ask and you shall receive. For those that are curious this is Catfish Blues. Popularized by Muddy Waters under the name Rollin Stone (yes, like the band cuz that’s where they got the name).

Passing Through
WordPress Daily Prompt – Ascend We’re all just passing through. Dropping our bodies at the door As we search for more. Show me your soul, Stand for me completely bare, It’s all that matters here. We’re all just passing through. Picking flowers on the shore As we wait for more. Give me your hand, Don’t…

Millie’s Gone
WordPress Daily Prompt – Fraud Moira packed each picture away carefully. Eventually Levee Harolds family would want some things but boxes of wedding pictures featuring his soon to be missing widow? Those weren’t likely to be the best souvenirs of his life. There would be some story about sweet Moira Harolds spinning out of control…

When Time Was Elastic
WordPress Daily Prompt – Elastic When time was elastic, Stretched between two points Like a rubber band straining To hold a twig from snapping in two, We jumped here and there. Moving choices, Changing voices, Then the band snapped; Trapping us in strange places Where skies are blue, Unless they’re grey, And memories of When…
