"There was a stage I wanted to be in your place, and then I didn't". We were meeting after twenty years. "Are you sure I am wherever you think I am?" "Well, that's something to ponder about. A lot passes through us in two decades, and our claim to know each other may be hollow." … Continue reading Where is There?
Mindly Spirit ..,. by cozyquietcorner
I walked ahead, following the bright rays streaming from the gaps between the canopies of the tall trees. I was getting tired, but something compelled me to forge ahead. My last memory had been of sitting before the fireplace, sipping brandy and finalising the seating arrangements; when I found myself alone, trekking in a forest just two days before my wedding. Where was I? How did I arrive here?
I looked at the sky. Preferring indoor activities, it was difficult for me to determine if it was dusk or dawn. I could feel the beginnings of a stress headache, which would soon accompany my aching feet and growling stomach. As though the wedding preparations spiralling out of control and essentric in-laws wasn’t enough, my meticulous schedule would be shot to hell with this ill-timed venture.

It was my first dream after coming to the city - living in the tallest building there. A passer-by who saw me gaping at the heights whispered, “You know, only one window belongs to a person. There are so many up there, and so many wanting to get there.” He did not wait to hear … Continue reading (Im)permanence
Interlope …… by tiredhamster
Let them enter, the eyeless murmurs
Peering in as children had once done.
They’re not really there behind the window:
Faceless reflections, silhouettes without
skin or name, occupied by a memory
Refusing to leave. Let them into this night.
Some may gather by our fire, a dim voice
Grasping within; others will dash about,
Trying to find themselves behind a vase.
And then when sun approaches
Touch, they will slide beneath shadows.
Some will become lost elsewhere,
Others will return, black shapes stretching
Across glass, close to knowing.

life in silhouette
drifting from eye to eye
judging aethetics
I check the leaks, worry the winds
oblivious to what you see
