Today’s insult (I have to document them somehow): / who has rejected my work multiple times asked me to submit to another like-minded , because she thought I was someone else.

Break!

These two , penned by me, are sisters. If you know, you know.

Antibodies

Speak no evil for we listen closely
The darkness echoes
And you will be found

Work no evil for we are the watchers
A world to witness
Revealers, we all

Guard no evil for we do not relent
The best of defense
A paradox bound

***

The Maelstrom

On the day that was the day
The children came on electric wind
A ring of fingers pointed they
And in one voice, exclaimed "Rescind!"

Way down below their circle true
Bent beneath his poison freight
Sat the Salesman, soul askew
With sidewise eyes to fiery fate

He'd worked his charming, harming arts
No differently from friend to foe
Ruling from a manse of cards
To steal, conceal, consume— to own

This baron's barren duchy built
On swollen, stolen rivers blue
From his dams there trickled only silt
Not fish, not gold, nor common good

His family tree is stocked with stumps
His wealth the ghosts of forests
A Peddler's soul knows no controls
A thieving moral tourist

As flaming scimitars they drew
The children stood against escape
"We've come to see if you bleed blue
And a pound of flesh apiece we'll take"

The Peddler shrank back from the haze
His spinning grin a fearful hue
Reaching back into his sack
He wove a mask of shadow blue

He offered silver, silk, and spice
From deep within his Bag of Nought
But the children burned his wry disguise
Beneath the light their fires brought

"Behold the thief who leads with lies
Black inside with ash and rot!"
The Peddler puled "it wasn't me!"
But all could see him, clearly caught

Pretending at a crimson crown
Pulled from his bag of lies
He raised his hands and fearful frowned
And hid his sliding eyes

From behind his house of broken backs
Came forth his faceless guards
In lines of blue with armor black
They moved to do the children harm

But the children flowed like water
Though they brought with them a blaze
Rushing faster, growing hotter
They accused each guard by name

The Peddler shouted at the fray
"Seize them, break them, take them all!"
Some children fell on that dire day
But justice would not be forestalled

Each time the guards brought someone low
The children's chants grew louder
A harmony of names and pride
That vexed the Peddler's powers

"Just wait until the darkness falls"
He sneered behind blue lines
"These streets will all become my halls
And your rebellion will decline!"

Through 100 nights of poison smoke
The guards beset the land
But from the children's maelstrom newly woke
There stirred a storm of willing hands

They strode on strands of worldly web
That reached the corners of the earth
They fought for life and mourned the dead
And aided any who were hurt

And in the longest hour dark
They broke the guards' morale
The childrens' hearts beat all as one
And that is when they howled

"Children, burning hot and bright
You are owed a dawn long due!
Let your voices rise to crack the skies!
Then bring the sun to you!"

And then the dawn beat back the night
Where the Peddler crouched alone
His bag of tricks lost in the fight
His guards had all gone home

He asked "who leads this vile treason
I'll have his name and then his head!"
And in a slang beyond his reason
They told him, "leadership is dead."

Then on the day that was the day
The children turned their pain to art
"The future shall be free" said they
And tore the Peddler's house apart

And from the ashes grew a garden
Ripe with flowers, food and trees
And no leaders, jails or wardens
Made the bounty truly free

This week at the we’re diving into the idea of character. Normally, in the character is associated with narrative in the form of novels, novella, short stories or plays, but poetry is often very character driven as well.

Do you have a in your own poetry besides yourself?

Do you adopt different for different ?

How much of your own character is inserted into your poetry?

For the readers, do you enjoy a subtle character in a poem or do you prefer a dominant character arc?

Withered Stumps of Time | Eric Gordon | Substack

My Mustache, by Eric Gordon

My mustache keeps me company, on the hot and dusty trails
It’s my mustache keeps me company, riding the lonesome rails
My mustache feels no jealousy, my mustache don’t keep score
It laughs at all my jokes, never thinks that I’m a bore
My mustache is my confidant, my one and only friend
My mustache keeps me company, ’til the bitter end

This is… not much of a poem. But it’s what I’ve got and where I'm at.

the eventide, before sunshine sheds
molts into a moonlit wonderland.
ill hold my breath one moment longer
and carry the day into the night
exhale, feel the summer air
kiss the newborn autumn sky

Smoke obliterates the moon's silkscreen stamp,
yet still the tides surge as high,
suitors sigh besotted.

i was wrong to think in my youth
