lips pressed against the glass
body on fire, no escape
blinded by the stars
Thanks to Sunday Wordle for the fun inspiration.

Screaming into the Void
She had hurdled headfirst into the belly of the beast, but she wasn’t scared. Instead, she had felt strong, like an avenging angel, cutting through the hype like a flaming sword of justice. She was not a hater! She had just wanted to introduce some balance, but now she was scared. It was like screaming into the void. Nobody messed with Taylor and got out alive.
Just for the record, I’m a Taylor Swift fan. But … sometimes ya gotta speak truth to power 😉
Thanks to GirlieOnTheEdge (Balance) and Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (Belly) for today’s inspiration.
regret
like blood from a stone
words, forsaken on the tongue,
become ash and bone
I was inspired by two challenges today. FOWC offered up FORSAKE and Fake Flamenco’s November Poetry challenge gave us STONE. Visit them both for more inspired words.

Floating (Again)
In honor of Fandango’s Flashback Friday, I re-offer this piece of flash from November 3, 2018!
Lucy stared at the board. Letting her mind drift back to childhood. Chin resting on the table. Watching her grandfather play. Try too hard and it went fuzzy. Like a picture with the autofocus off. But if she just let her brain float sometimes she could recapture that moment of joy. When it all made sense. When it was fun. Before. Before she was a novelty. Before she was girl genius. Intellectual heir to Hawking. Right down to the chair. But today it remained fuzzy. The timer ticked. Counting. Days. Weeks. Months. Years. She stared at the board. Floating.
