Darkness
despair
ruins of buildings, lives and the faces of people I knew
or thought I knew
visit me when I sleep.
These phantoms drive the nightmares
that visit me, that haunt me, that call the endless twilight in my head home
Dead images, abandoned words, forgotten promises and curses brought to life again now live in the daylight
in each word I carve on stone, in paper on bone.
Daily Addictions Prompt: Motor
It’s time to make myself over again.
It’s time to see new things, read new books dig a few graves behind an abandon factory or maybe one of those houses that have stood empty for years and years and have those yellow or sometimes neon orange stickers on the door or near the place where the door used to be.
It’s time to make myself over again.
Maybe I’ll try some new makeup, get a new hairstyle or get myself a face all together.
I’m handy with a needle and thread and I’m a whiz with anything that involves a sharp edge.
It’s time to make myself over again- I suppose.
Or.
I could easily stay the same non-descript fat, sloppy woman that rides the same train everyday and drives the same way to and from the station and nobody notices unless they literally walk into me because they’re busy looking at their phones or they hurry to get home to watch TV or download porn onto their laptops or wipe their browser history on the family computer or something super important like that.
I could do that.
I could stay the same fat, sloppy, non descript woman with messy hair who sort of drifts from moment to moment and doesn’t seem to be real or matter to anyone or anything at all.
For now.
You’re Welcome.
Daily Addictions Prompt: Invent
I’ve been lucky enough to have pieces of art and music really speak to my soul.
The painting ” Lucifer ” by Von Stuck, the works of Mozart and the stories of M.R. James.
This song is among those works.
