Who is the one
that might wish to
obliterate the sun
as he cannot
stand to stare into
the bright
while someone who
already is shadowed
by an observer
may think
he would
disappear
in the absence
of
the light?

Disordain
My rising resists durably
Each and every
Inkling hint and slight
Suggestion
Patterned habitude
As thing to be desired
As does my retiring
Resigning as it were to
Whims of fancy
Muddled feeling
Call of rest and
Disordered repose
Rejecting every indication
Routine a proper path
Should be
For me and any
Coveted cultivation of
Eventual elucidity
I’m of a mind that any
Effort entertained by rote
Wills to obliterate
Expunge from mundane magic innate
And mimicry mere mockery make
Each aberration steadfast
Adhered to honored recognized
Point and counterpoint
Purposely make eminent
And all of life a poetry

Night Watch
Sleepless again
In the wee hours
With nothing more
Than the easy target
Of an empty mind
The darkness
Wields the power
To obliterate hope
To nurture doubt
Until there is no chance of sleep
A chair waits in the corner
While my love
Is wrapped
In the peace
Of restful slumber
A well-used blanket
And a humble book
Together with time
Will light the way
To rest, to peace
The oppressive night
Cannot stand against
Even the faintest light
As it simply
Dissolves before the dawn.

#Excerpt from my #shortstory That Which is Forgotten
She looked down at the dark indigo energy swirling around her hands—caressing her skin in an intoxicating, sensual sensation. Glorious memories of giving and obliterating life flowed to the surface. Beautiful and terrifying, creation and destruction were two sides of the same coin. Toss it in the air and see how it lands.

#Obliterate.
Literally: unwrite, scrub out what
Is written. What has been written
Can never be unwritten - a fallacy.
Everything can be destroyed except
Matter. I don't think my words will
Reconstitute themselves when they've
Been burned or have mouldered away,
And even if it isn't until the sun
Consumes the Earth at the end of time.
There may be souls who wander the
Voids of the dead universe who
Will recite what we have scribed.
So earnestly we try to claim anew
Those whom our folk tried to obliterate
Revealing empty holes, our souls consumed,
A thirst our violence will never sate.

The ladder was laid
against a scaffold once
meant to swing joy
into the sky, but without
that future the only thing
left to do was find a way
to walk into the sea
from the center of a
landlocked continent.
The tree watched and wept
sap upon the hillock that rose
from its roots
The detective entered the hotel room with a frown. "I hope he didn't have time to #obliterate his traces."
"Or hers," offered the rookie, donning rubber gloves.
"What?"
"We don't know their identity." The rookie opened the wardrobe. "I mean—Oh."
"What?"
Chiffon and lace spilled out. "They left this."
"Ah, I guess you were right, lad."
"Maybe," muttered the rookie, remembering the show he'd attended the previous night.
Going through the albums, I gathered up all of the photographs. There was quite a collection, years of memories made together. I'd been working on this all day, cutting out his face with surgical precision and obliterating them from my life, wavering between grief and rage. After what he had done to me, I needed to make sure that I would never see his face again, erasing him from my history.
I placed the pieces in a tin can and took them out to the backyard, along with the letters he had written, allegedly professing his love for me, and poured some lighter fluid over them. It was a dark night, perfect for a little bonfire. They ignited in a burst of flames, remnants twirling up toward the night sky.
It was truly cathartic.
i notice how easy it is to
obliterate my experience
in a flash and abandon
myself. to build bridges at
all costs while sacrificing
authentic connection.
and yet, if i can only lean in,
take a risk, and connect to
my truth, there are infinitely
more riches to discover.

The times of witch hunts were over. The #knowledge of how to brew #hemlock would not prove her guilty of murder. Particularly not as she had taken care to thoroughly #obliterate the traces.
