Merry Christmas, Captain Kirk:
Apparently this word has no counterpart in klingon.
perhaps, in their eyes, it is just an annoying absence of darkness…

I keep telling myself
that maybe it’s an oversight
but that lump

you would have found a way
long ago

Weekly Photo Challenge: Dreamy
i know for a fact
that you remember this day
completely differently
than I
those big holes in your memory
have erased
so much of the good
and left only a sour taste
unconditional love
like the last dregs of coffee
emptied into the dustbin
and
forgotten

Weekly Photo Challenge: Signs
closed
nothing left
but a few square feet
on the third floor of a museum
no more celebrities
no more labour disputes
no more long lines
waiting for a taste
of smoked meat and a coke
but perhaps
the straw that broke
the kravitz’ back
was just
that $5.50 super deluxe sundae

Weekly Photo Challenge: Nighttime
on a thursday afternoon
they would wander
white-gloved
a few soda crackers and peppermints
wrapped carefully in a handkerchief
and tucked into pocketbooks
just in case
they would say
and nod agreement
to the happy collusion
spent lingering
by the perfume counter
but Friday
would always come
striding in on too-high heels
gin and tonic fueled
waiting to be dragged
onto the dance floor
cherries in the snow
smeared
on saturday’s collar
‼︎

Weekly Photo Challenge: Humanity
Where once the world had been so small
that letters wore stamps
postmarked weary
like travellers on foot
siberia to africa
in another life
another time
where once eyes wide
with all that was wonderful
in this bright new world
saw promise and hope
reflected upon the screen
now
it is all of humanity
that pours forth
ignoring and repeating
reviling and revolting
having forgotten history
and how
to just turn it off

suspicions were
that lost mail
floated away
to some dun-coloured bin

to become bright
decoration
for marauders
of all kinds

Weekly Photo Challenge: Abandoned
some things are harder to find again
than others
dim trails, lost places
those faint glimmers
of ideas and dreams
faded laughter and plans
gone dry as the paper
they were scribbled on
promises dated
like scratchy mix tapes
abandoned by the not right now
in the hopes of later
