A kindness Done in quiet I’m blessed To see today As on my bus A sleeping girl’s Suitcase Rolls away A stranger sets Her foot—unbid To make The suitcase stay The sleeping girl Unaware Of the #rescue Sent her way We are Each other’s angels Large & small, Come what may #vss365 – at Fort Worth, TX

#vss365 I sit here draped In my chagrin I don’t know What to say My dream was One day be a cop But failed My #Training Day The fall back Was to work for ICE They hired me On the spot Wished I’d trained On these shock gloves Went to pee… Now crotch is Hot

Tweakers in #sneakers with fentanyl candy, Bottles of gin less expensive than brandy, Blasted and blitzed with a babe in a cot, Innocence lost to the damp and the rot, She's in a G string and he's in a jock, Selling their bodies to light up a rock... #vss365 #poetry

#vss365 #prompt #Training Those sneakers took us all over yesterday. So today let's see how many different kinds of training we can imagine. I know I have the energy to follow you.😊

#vss365 #sneaker #bionicanadian When ‘I Love You’ isn’t a text It becomes~ An exclamation of emotions A resistance that unveils A shift that stays A holy thing that bows A curiosity that awakens A question forsaken A sneaker of silence A tranquility that rises A waking reverie that suffices   A phenomenon that enchants A renaissance that blossoms A freedom that’s wholesome   A belonging that anchors A fellowship that binds A balm that’s kind   A sacred breathing thing   And endless thoughts of him

“I miss my dead dragons— their impossible warmth, the weight of them beside me, the soft smoke of their dreams tangled in my own. The house has forgotten the shape of their shadows, but I have not. I still leave a space where the silence gathers, as though love alone 1/2

#vss365 #sneakers he tightens the laces of his red sneakers looking sideways a glance that asks now? here? and I fall into him high heels and sneakers entwined. 🖤

"Mum, what's the story of these #sneakers?" "Where did you find them?" "In the attic, wrapped in tissue paper." "They belonged to your late sister." "Oh... maybe I shouldn't touch them." "She would have loved it if you wore them." "Maybe I will, on a special day." #vss365

When stepping into a fairy circle, which shoes one wears decides the outcome. Anything with steel and the circle stays silent. #sneakers might get a glimpse of a wing and a bell-like laughter. Step into it barefoot, however, and the fairies will dance along. #vss365

She thought it was strange to see a soccer ball stuffed toy on the ground outside of the nursing home, on the sidewalk. "Someone at home will like it." He was horrified to see and hear a stuffed soccer ball toy cursing in Spanish about its missing #sneakers. #vss365

Breath in young one. Essence descended to the pits. Energy expressed and expanded with each break of the universe's hand. Those #sneakers of his pressed over cracks while ravines cut into imagination's wishes. Sink in. Lose yourself in it. #vss365

The sneaker He became A secret sniffer Embroiled in a pastime Of hiding and whispers He thinks she doesn't know I'm pretty sure she does Its cost him once She took him back His one true (maybe) love I cannot advise Just be a support When needed When he gets caught #vss365

Every school’s got a weird kid. Ours was named Stevin (with an I). Everything about him was a bit off. His #sneakers were Nixies, not Nikes; his jeans Devi’s, not Levi’s; and for lunch he had Kora-Kola and Munchables. Like he was from world almost like ours but not quite. #vss365
