    • You speak of a bizarre situation. If it’s not dementia than it’s paranoia. That can be hard to deal with, especially when moving to another state is seriously considered. Definitely a case for stress for the one who has to listen to it all. Good one, Thomas.

    • Oh wow, I swear I know these people. Unfortunately, in the case of mine, they’re not fully imagining things. When a bit of real harassment is lad down, it builds on a mind until everything becomes subject to suspect. It sucks for those observing and listening, but more so for them. Solid write here

    • I enjoy writes that are unexpected and take you on a journey.
      Good or bad. This write is excellent. I personally loved

      Patience like a prayer,
      thinking until my brain bruises.

      This whole piece is pretty awesome, bizarre and all.

    • “But then they glance at me.
      And those eyes cut through.
      Like I’m part of it now.”

      Hauntingly penned, Thomas. Another excellent write with amazing storytelling my friend. The verse above gave me goosebumps. It’s always feels like we’re on a journey in your stories. Nicely done as always. Appreciate you.

    • Footsteps that do not belong to the house are a rupture, not necessarily danger,
      but a shift in the contract between space and silence.
      They mark the moment when architecture stops being loyal.

      Appreciate you!

  • 12th in Emptiness, Oblivion, and the Breeze That Knows Too Much

    April 12th rises
    like a hollow bowl.
    A day carved out of absence,
    light as a rib,
    quiet as a room
    after everyone has left
    but the air still remembers
    their names.

    This is the day of emptiness
    not the cruel kind,
    not the collapsing void,
    but the soft, spacious…Read More

    It Ain't Ending Nice

    • I echo your thoughts Damian. I mentioned to a friend the other day that everything is corrupt now – Companies…people in business…the government…car dealers…you name it. It’s like we’ve gotten to a point where scamming people is the norm now. Great write my friend.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Tim. So glad you connected with the write my friend. That it is, everything is about turning a buck, with doing as little as possible. What’s saddest is it doesn’t bring them any happiness. Appreciate you.

    • Oh you know I’m over here furiously nodding and grabbing logs for the fire. I have come to the place of having to mute and cover the face of the colostomy bag. It’s not worth the heart palpitations and anger rising. I refuse to allow my health to be further deteriorated by that overstuffed cheese puff. Another marshmallow, my friend? I’m adding wood to the fire!

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I figured you might get fired up reading this one. I’m so tired of trying to figure out who’s still buying this bullshit, it can’t get anymore obvious that he’s out over his fucking skis, he’s beyond compromised at this point. I could go for a marshmallow. See you at the bonfire. Appreciate you.

    • Your writing is always very deep and this is no exception. Your details of the connection between them is profound indeed and based in love and a memory of him that will never be lost or corrupted. Any comment I can give on this is not enough. There’s so much said here. Great writing, Styx.

      • Thank you Tim. It was a lot of work, including jotting down little notes while working at my job thursday and friday. I do maintenance at an older apartment complex, very busy most of the time. But, the creative ideas wait for no work. LOL.
        I know that this write, because of the title, the header picture, etc, will keep many people away. But I hope those who do read it get something positive from it. There are several gospels not in the bible, some called the gnostics, that tell much different stories from the traditional ones picked to be in the King James version. The version of Mary M being His wife is in some of them. So, who really knows by now.
        And, I am beating myself up over a part three! Do I, do I not. Grrrr.
        I sincerely appreciate your generous comment, Tim. And what you did say is enough. It is awesome.

    • How to start with this. This is excellent!
      Your interpretation of how she adored and suffered his life and loss is truly amazing. A weaving journey through her thought process. How the world can exhaust even the strongest of spiritual character but away from prying eyes, he remembers the blessings of also being human.

      These are gems baby! Honestly:)
      Needs to be put in your book!

      • You knew how much these two writes were beating me up. Lots of editing and hacking, even a few minutes ago. I had a very specific vision of what I wanted it to say. I think I succeeded, after all the edits of course.
        And, the part three…. I dunno. I’m going to chill on it awhile.
        I am so fortunate to have you in my creative journeys. Because you do the same things and can relate to it all.
        I love you immensely!

    • And I, sir, appreciate your steady support of my efforts here. I try my best to make them matter. So thank you.

    • So, when I finished reading this, I took a deep breath and said, “Jesus!”. And then I laughed to myself, because I was only saying it as an exclamation about your writing and not as a statement of the subject… LOL.

      Anyway, this is just beautiful. Not much more I can say. Thank you for sharing it.
      ❤️k

      • LOL !! I purposely avoided using his name in any form. Because it is about Mary’s feelings in dealing with it all. The very human aspect of someone dealing with such a weight added to a relationship. Like dating someone famous, etc., then losing them. Obviously it is on a grander stage. But being human has its basic emotions for all.
        Its so good to see ya! Rock star!

    • hello dearest Brandon I would think you were always enough it hurts to be with someone who can’t keep up with you but you don’t want to leave behind heartfelt ❤️

    • Thank you Crimsin. Always nice to hear from you

    • Powerfully penned, Excellent write of introspection and searching for answers my friends. Let’s just say I can relate, thanks for sharing. Appreciate you.

      Damian

    • This reminds me of a conversation I had with my friend once. I said “If my friend is going under, I’m going in after them.” And his reply was “Wow, not a lot of people are willing to enter darkness for the sake of someone else.” Which might be part of the world’s problems, in my opinion. This has a lot of depth and compassion in it
