16.10: dVerse Headless
A Steed’s Lament in Sleepy Hollow They call me omen, call me curse,a shadow-mare to haul the headless hearse.He grips my flanks with knees of bone,and rides me through the mourner’s moan. I toss my mane — he cannot see.I choose the path — what use is he?I’ve borne the weight of sin and dread,but…

Paint It Black He didn’t paint the void; he painted its memory. Like hollows left when a star collapses. Or silence after a string snaps. The shape of breath frozen midair.

11 Oct: Ten Things of Thankful
Thankful that my bruised elbow is healing — I can finally bend it enough for my hand to touch my shoulder. Grateful that my Covid and winter flu jabs didn’t sting like wasps. Thankful for the cosy warmth of woolly jumpers again. For bedlinen dried outside in the sunshine — it smells as sweet as…
