Today's Temptation

Someone went and bought some timbits to share.

They put it right in front of me.

I figured I'd feed the habit and take a picture.

oh little round sphere
why do you torment me so
evil trojan horse

Building a Habit and a Hobby

So. Every time I'm close to giving in and eating junk food I've decided to go for a walk and take a picture instead.

Two birds, one stone.

That is all.

fleeting

there's no standing still
things move beyond reach so fast
but more comes as quick

PAD 002 | Self Starter

starting an engine that hasn't
in a long time
takes patience and time
and while the engine whines
before it revs to a start
the sputtering gasp of last year's fuel
still caught
in the bottom of the tank and in the hose
spews choking smoke and flashbangs
as it starts to turn
and in turn, spark to life

PAD 001 | Beachcombing (I hate the title)

i spoke with you about ever-after
but you bristled,
brushed it away,
and walked into memory;

so far from those nights we spent
in matching cover-alls, behind armour,
comparing mysteries and spots,
and battling each other's demons.

each stone, uncovered,
a vulnerability and an acceptance
unearthed and exposed

i spoke with you about exposure,
and we picked at our scabs,
stinging time, seething indifference,
demonizing each other's battles, now, too

patience worn thin, and armour threadbare

and I find I cannot comb your crumbs
from my recollection,
morsels of joy, flashes of happiness,
and all our memories of walking

courting the sun

come catch fire with me /
Icarus never flew so high /
flames, twinned, against the sky

#twaikuish

kissing the rain

behold, this satire, /
the heart grasps the falling rain /
yet fears getting wet
