for this week's #PoemsAbout i'm trying to contain #Strays rather than describe them @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk #prompt #poetry #blueskypoetry #writesky #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity #fictionwriters #poets #creativewriting

stray

i’m having that nightmare again
the one about the cars--the accident

until i wake
filled with the results of the late night
myself

the only salvation
hot
strong
coffee

later
i walk in the sun
without direction

the purposelessness feels sneaky
like a cold draft

let my mind wander
farther than my feet can carry

imagine myself
getting run down
by a passing car

i stop
when i am far enough away from home
to text
even though i've had my phone
in my hand the whole way

open our messages
type something
delete it

against the traffic i call
listen until
the ringing stops

when it’s my turn
i can’t remember
what to say

half-heartedly watch a movie after the sun goes down but turn it off part way realizing i’ll either cry soon or lose interest and i don’t have the spirit for either instead i try to write and nothing comes out nothing worthwhile only something about that stupid dream i’ve been having since i was old enough to remember i write about how this morning i wondered if my neighbors were dead in their apartment because i could hear their alarm clock going off for over an hour the rational response that they may have just been out didn’t occur to me until later but i select it all with the mouse and hit the delete key create a new document without a name and type

bagpipes are sexy

like it's #Emoetry -- and i'm #unconvinced but i'm posting something anyway 😉 @mwplovesmusic.bsky.social #prompt #poetry #blueskypoetry #writesky #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity #fictionwriters #poets #creativewriting

unconvinced

i keep trying to write
about uncertainty
like it's—

i heard you
the first time.

like
comprehension
was the problem.

like i was ever going to remain
open to your
persuasion.

like it's—

say it again
only slower
this time.

as if repetition
might flood in like evidence.

oooh. yes.
go on ahead.

explain it to me
one more time.

like it's uncertainty and not
judgement rendered.
