.. still above ground. well how about that..

[Todd Rokholm @MyPrompts]

my art is
unfinished pages.
a molt of feathers
from a dream
of flight.

I'd rather hide,
in early morning teas
and lily-white warmth.

I haven't spoken
in what seems
a thousand years,
nor you to me,

but there is that
unpronounced tether,
that wink between
our hearts,

that busys the space
between us,
with conversation.

[Todd Rokholm @MyPrompts]

@PJ_Yukon yes. we're more connected to those things, real and imagined, in our phone's glow, than that person across the dinner table.

I don't know the last time I truly looked into someone's eyes.

[Todd Rokholm @MyPrompts]

she was in the west;

rising as my sun set,

looking forward to a gentle wash
of rain,

as I soaked
in the flooded aftermath.

@VladaMars Ah Vlada... we're still kickin' :)

[Todd Rokholm @MyPrompts]

anybody left?

[Todd Rokholm @MyPrompts]

@gummibear737 @elonmusk Social media is THE media now?! Oh boy @gummibear737 the pace quickens for civilization's fall..

@LegacyKillaHD I'm simply amazed that almost a year after its release people are still posting the same tired posts. #Bethesda is like a giant planet, where no one can escape their orbit it seems ;)

Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary

@joycebudenberg ..little Buddha :)

[Todd Rokholm @MyPrompts]

just before it rains the grey and the green. my neck is craned and skin dry enough in anticipation. there will be that first drop and I'll remember love.

[Todd Rokholm @MyPrompts]

the intellects and debaters; societies
long of throat and moist urgent tongue,
dead and memed, cemented boots,
forgotten in the dark's deep.

there are stiff boots upon the cracked
road. they go left, they go right.

and on not even the sun's departure
can they agree..

[Todd Rokholm @MyPrompts]

@stejward @NeonBirdGames No. I don't think any of Beth's official mods disable achievements

[Todd Rokholm @MyPrompts]

a happy Father's day
for those
who despite the challenges

manage a patient smile.

[Todd Rokholm @MyPrompts]

@VladaMars ..so sorry to read what you and your husband are going through, Vlada. I wish I had some measure of words to give you a moment's comfort, but alas..
Continue to love, in the fullness of your strength, and know that we're pulling for you.

[Todd Rokholm @MyPrompts]

@RealisticPoetry ..estranged. :(

[Todd Rokholm @MyPrompts]

@mnm67 Absolutely! The one who pulled us all together

[Todd Rokholm @MyPrompts]

I remember Marla, and Jeff,
Stephanie
and a couple of Brian's.

There was a gardener,
And a red-haired girl,
and of course a mad queen.

There was poetry
and there was community.

How I miss it.

@oshum Google says wineberry

[Todd Rokholm @MyPrompts]

you had something
that you miss.

simple words
to lay upon her skin.

an instinct
to want nothing
but the fullness of
her lips..

[Todd Rokholm @MyPrompts]

@PGPayT Thanks for the reply! I'll check him out

[Todd Rokholm @MyPrompts]

@PGPayT off topic, but in my younger horror-eager days I really enjoyed the writing of Clive Barker. Is there any newer writers you would recommend?
