between skin and shadow
each relying on the light
quick blood singing

"Please sign here. Is this your first Life Extension?"
I don't know why I was nervous. Every citizen was entitled to one free 100 year extension.
"Yes. This will be my first Erasure Orientation"
"Ok." The clerk seemed bored.
"It's mandatory to explain that Memory Erasure is permanent.
We don't recommend choosing heartbreaks or instances of illness. That never goes well. Dreamless sleep is popular - that normally saves a few decades.."
I nodded.
brave new world
another fairy tale
of antagonists
#MastoPrompt
Sometimes time is
golden, stretching softly to
capture moments in gentle fingers and
braid them into sweet memory. Sometimes
it softens details as it
passes, a touch here, a
caress there, hazing hardship and
happiness alike. Sometimes it
races, a new puppy with a
beloved toy. Sometimes it
slows, sticky as tar to a
tortuous
eternity. But whether the
clock-face is antagonist or protagonist in the
wind of your life's tale, it
always, always keeps on
ticking. #MastoPrompt #MicroPrompt #WSS366
who will be middled
muddled in the medium
one antagonist

Lady on a flooded Beach - Aobram
you can't declutter
an empire
or gentrify the foundations -
corpses, mostly
mortared with cheap lies
fermented to intoxicate
gods, race, blood,
the divine right of kings
superior inferior
none of it sparks joy
or serves a purpose
beyond chill grey weight
the stink of blood
and a million
murdered maybe mozarts
singing from unmarked graves

It came clear Lilith
and Eve improved knowledge

The Pro-Genitor
Pulling on
destiny's threads:
a knot here or a
snip just there.
Probosces,
tentacles,
and wings,
and things.
All spice
for the pot.
