Staring out from my porch
I can feel the breeze
From the fan touching my skin
I wish words that are spoken
Is done without hurting feelings
Breezy feeling chills come
Thinking about past event
Beneath this surface
I will rise above turmoil
Breezy feeling
Emotions rise
Silence in the air
Serenity is near
Voices sometimes
Are not clear
Raging waters
Tide goes in and out
Beneath this surface
I will rise
And be wise
Breezy feeling
Time is but a dance
Yet we sit in chairs all day
I sat this one out.

I hate to say.
I say the words
That may or may not help me
I say the names
That may or may not be heard.
I cry the daily tears
That may or may not heal me
And gather up the strength
To face another day of pain
Without a bird outside my window.

Still struggling with several issues
committed road
chosen pathway

mapped
in the womb

written down
within conception

tattooed
in the heart
to make you fall asleep
like a bird in its nest,
I’ll hold all the
summer rains in my
arms
just for you
I’ll carry all
summer rains, I will
carry them in
my
arms,
like a heart on fire
imagining connections loosened
letterer’s preparation for goldleaf,
laws to be obeyed, terminii preset,
lies left being for the good of the laborer,
letters re-being said with no hint at right,
privilege to publish, let be made already
for any curio’s spirit aspiring sameness,
fifty-five words, commas not counting,
letters informing ideas as words.
A flash 55 inspired by William A Gibson’s Inheritance
which was inspired by https://hellopoetry.com/poem/5119935/while-pouring-coffee/ a brilliant poem by Shay Caroline Simmons. With three words I found I had a title that made it 58, Morning coffee inheritance.
