      The Adventures of Tex & Blae-Lok - 3

      © 2025 It was a beautiful summer night in Austin, just a little warmer than usual for early June. A honeysuckle breeze made it almost perfect. A gazillion stars filled the sky and my way to my magnificent live...

      behind each step

      Smoke curls along the alley,  and in the shifting haze  a mural dragon stares down,  its scales chipped,  yet the gaze still remains—  a watcher above the street.    A café door swings open,  voices spill into the night,  debating ethics over bitter coffee,  their words rising,  then breaking apart  like...

      farcical bloomery

      "farcical bloomery"   In the meadow of impossible mornings, the daisies exhale in a trumpet’s blush, petals fluttering like embarrassed fans as the air fills with laughter disguised as wind.   Rosehip hiccups, clouds of lavender smoke, their thorns rattling like spoons in a drawer. Lilies bow low,...

      • Powerfully penned, Kesner. Crisp and precise imagery, excellent write my friend. Appreciate you.

        Damian

      • Many thanks, Damian. Means a lot. 🕊️🙏

      • Lovely description. Enjoyed the vision you created.

      • Many thanks, voi. Made my day 🙏🕊️

      • Oh, I wish for just one hour to play as a child in your impossible meadow, or just five minutes as the old man I am; what a wonder that would be! But I will take this one out on occasion and play with it here in my head a while when troubling times require some canny lift-me-up. Yes, this will do nicely, but there’s always room for more. Thank you fredd; I’m still smiling, and I know it will grace my face several times tonight as I drift away to wherever we go when life releases us to fumble in the darkness. Thank you for this lovely present.

        • That is an excellent share, dear FD. There is that meadow that indeed brightens the darkness and pauses the fumbling for a delicious interlude. Many pleasant returns. 🕊️🙏

          • Thanks for the thanks, and know that I had to reread this piece three more times while here, just for the giggles; it makes me see those very old hilarious colored cartoons with the crazy characters like Betty Boop (my all-time favorite anime crush), before Disney homogenized them all.

            • Like Jessica Rabbit, you mean…homogenised, although she seems to be from WB if I’m not mistaken.

              • Well, I like Jessica, but I mean the really OLD cartoons, probably 20, 30 years or more before the very sexy Jessica. These were before Mickey. I’ll have to do some research and get back to you.

                • You were probably thinking of Red Hot Riding Hood as Olive Oyl doesn’t seem to match the raciness of these other caricatures. (Early 30’s before the censors kicked in) methinks.
