Sarah stretched awake. “Good morning,” Orion smiled. She sat up whimpering, rubbing her lower back. “Ow.” “Too hard?” “Yes.” “They never bother me.” She stood up doing some stretches to work out the knot inContinue reading “Coreopsis 7-a”

One candle
It has never been this cold. Though, I can’t see my breath as in stories of old. The coat clinging to my back; in one piece around my torso, is full of cracks. Has my god completely abandoned me? Was my religion a hoax? Alone I sit, on the cold pew. Screaming at God untilContinue reading “One candle”
Coreopsis 6-e
“You were right in your assumption,” she spoke louder so he could hear her. “Never?” “No.” “I envy you.” He drew a sharp breath as the cold water caressed his face. “You know nothing about my personal life, don’t envy me.” “You have freedom.” He reached out and touchedContinue reading “Coreopsis 6-e”
The chase
Big black dog, nipping at my heals. I know you. You chase me. Bite me. Catch me. Smother me. Your weight is more than I can bare. We fight. Wrestle. I run. You chase. I hide. You sniff me out.

Coreopsis 6-c
Sarah studied Orion’s face as he stared at his glass of wine. He didn’t look happy at all. There were no little laugh lines around his mouth or eyes. The flesh around his eyes looked dark and sunk in. He reminded her of a sack of bones. Every time he moved it seemed toContinue reading “Coreopsis 6-c”
Coreopsis 6-b
Orion had long skinny fingers. Hands that were soft but cold to the touch. She noticed a white ring around his ring finger. “Lose something?” He glanced at his finger for a moment. “No,” with a fluid motion, he pulled the ring from under his shirt. He was wearing it around his neck. Continue reading “Coreopsis 6-b”
Relationships
Coreopsis 6-a
Orion walked onto the train platform. His pristine white suit glistened in the sun. He sat down on the bench tipping his hat to a lady who was already sitting there. “You could put someone’s eyes out with that.” She voiced her very dry unwanted comment. His heart stopped. He wasContinue reading “Coreopsis 6-a”
Less – feel – word
They disappoint me. Your word vomit; meaningless. Feel less than worthless. http://livingpoetry.net/2025/11/17/monday-poetry-prompt-feel-less-word/
