I live somewhere between the heroic desire to save everyone and the humbling need to be saved. All the while I search for the soul of me.

#vss365 #freeverse 🦋 through narrows and quiet canals of memory we navigate the present carrying the #illusion of a completed garden one clear look and the gate opens onto unfinished ground the harbours recede we offer our bodies to the passage somewhere inland a stranger wakes remembering our crossing all morning he finds sand in the pockets of his coat the sea has never felt so close 📸 by John Mee

Gruesome loneliness met us at every turn. A colorless labyrinth of stone felt intimidating. I was not certain it was entirely lifeless, yet it seemed a hopelessly abandoned place that no one would call home. Even the rare vegetation was repulsive. One plant grew low and grey, baggy, covered in a thin layer that resembled spider web. It looked and smelled like an old refuse sack. Another grew atop the walls, also grey, its tentacles spreading like spider legs. Its center was paler, the color of sickness, resembling a cocoon that might house something ghoulish.

We've been hearing multiple reports that there is a 'd' in 'handkerchief.' We're monitoring the situation.

#vss365 #Phantasm (日本語版は下に) Mid-Journey—— past midnight, the train carried the traveler through provinces of rain. Across the aisle, an empty seat kept its silence. But in the dark window, a phantasm sat there—— a figure folded in lamplight, tilting their head in that old, familiar way, as though their last goodbye were still waiting to be spoken. The traveler turned. The seat was bare. Turned back—— and there was that face again, clearer now than memory, so close the glass seemed thinner than time. Outside, signal lights passed like wounded stars. Then the train entered a tunnel. When it emerged, the window held only night. Yet on the seat opposite lay an old ticket, its destination worn away. The traveler picked it up and said nothing. At last, the first light touched the window. Across the aisle, the empty seat traveled on toward morning. 旅の途上で真夜中を過ぎたころ、列車は雨に濡れた地方を抜けて、旅人を運んでいきます。 通路の向こうでは、ひとつの空席が沈黙を守っています。 けれど暗い窓ガラスには、その席に幻影が座っています。 淡い車内灯に包まれたその人は、あのころと変わらない仕草で、かすかに首を傾けています。まるで、二人の最後の別れの言葉が、今もなお語られるのを待っているかのようです。 旅人が振り向くと、座席には誰もいません。 もう一度窓を見ると、そこには再び、あの懐かしい顔があります。今では記憶よりも鮮明で、窓ガラスが時間よりも薄くなってしまったかのように、すぐ近くに見えています。 窓の外では、信号灯が傷ついた星のように流れていきます。 やがて列車はトンネルに入ります。 トンネルを抜けると、窓にはただ夜だけが映っています。 けれど向かいの座席には、行き先の文字が擦り切れた古い切符が、一枚残されています。 旅人はその切符を拾い上げますが、何も言いません。 やがて、夜明けの最初の光が窓ガラスに触れます。 通路の向こうでは、誰も座っていないその席が、朝へ向かって旅を続けています。
#vss365 #Prompt #Phantasm Greetings everyone! Today's word builds on yesterdays, but also has a history all its own. A word that conjures up menace... Can you define it? I can't wait to see what you do! The #prompt for November 3rd is #Phantasm Have fun writing out there 🙂

Und wenn heute, an einem Winterabend, Schnee auf rote Dächer fällt  Und hinter den Bergen der Himmel dunkelblau wird, Dann könnte man meinen, der Tomte stellt gerade Eine Schale Brei vor die Tür,

I finish cutting up carrots and pearl onions add them to the simmering stew I pour a glass of wine while yellow leaves drift past my window…

#MidJourney365 #旅の途上365 (日本語版は下に) Mid-Journey——The Words in the Margin The town hall clock read five seventeen. At the school gate, one language was painted in blue. At the courthouse, the same language was carved into stone. Down a narrow lane, an old woman mended a child's coat. Beside her, a boy counted stitches in words absent from every sign. Footsteps sounded outside. The boy lowered his voice. The needle went on. The traveler opened his notebook and wrote: a different culture. "What is your language called?" he asked the woman. "The one my mother spoke when she called me home from the rain." She glanced at his open page. "And what words did your mother use to call you home?" He saw the doorstep of his childhood, rainwater shining on the stones, and heard his mother's voice calling him in before dark. He looked at the words in his notebook. Beside them, in the margin, he wrote: Different from what? The school gate kept its blue letters. The courthouse kept its stone. Only after the footsteps faded did the boy begin counting again. 余白に残された言葉 旅の途上の町役場の時計は、午後5時17分を指しています。 学校の門には、一つの言語が青い文字で記されています。裁判所には、同じ言語が石に刻み込まれています。 細い路地の奥で、一人の老女が子どもの上着を繕っています。その傍らでは、少年が縫い目の数を数えています。町のどの標識にも見当たらない言葉で。 外から足音が聞こえてきます。少年は声を潜めます。それでも、老女の針は動き続けます。 旅人は手帳を開き、「異文化」と書き留めます。 「あなたの言葉は、何という名前なのですか」と、旅人は老女に尋ねます。 「雨の中から私を家に呼び戻すとき、母が話していた言葉です」 老女は、旅人の開いた手帳に目を向けます。 「では、あなたのお母さんは、あなたを家に呼び戻すとき、どんな言葉を使っていましたか」 旅人の脳裏に、幼い日の家の戸口が浮かびます。雨水に濡れて光る敷石。そして、暗くなる前に家へ呼び戻してくれた母の声が聞こえてきます。 旅人は、手帳に書いた言葉をもう一度見つめます。 その傍らの余白に、こう書き添えます。 「何と比べて、異なるのでしょうか」 学校の門には、青い文字がそのまま残っています。裁判所の石も、何ひとつ変わっていません。 外の足音が遠ざかって、ようやく少年は、再び縫い目を数え始めます。

If you see a writer dying on a cross, his words pulling him down and breaking his heart, you should try to read him, even if only for a minute, even though you know reading him won't save him.
