Hermetically Sealed
how many waves
fear fear fear
will you swallow
before you drown
in isolation
avoid the sun
the unavoidable
microscopic
you claim to love diversity
do you really ...
do you understand
it does not end
with the minute
fear fear fear
hide under
your bed
with the dust bunnies
carnivorously fanged
Angora-clad rodents
bubonic or pneumatic
hard to tell
until you sneeze
it's just allergies
really ...
tell that to the masked mob
who know that you know
nothing about science
what's that
you know the difference
between a nanometer
and micrometer ...
how water works
savage
facebook told them
you hate grandma too
I talked to your Nana
she sure is depressed
dying alone and afraid
malnourished on a diet
of prison gruel
her last Christmas
spent in her cell
zoomless
either way
these yarns
needle and knit
a billion-dollar
sweater vest
I'll hermetically
seal
the bill
it's on your tab
you should have spent
more wisely
YOU ... Me
could have
healed
the world
instead
fear fear fear
is now airborne
and the running tally
endless
fear fear fear ... fear fear fear... fear fear fear

For me this is a novel poetry where the lyrical goes beyond the imagination. You develop in different scenarios, without moving away from the central dea.
Your short verses express a lot.
I will continue to read you.
Thanks so much, Lecumberre:)
Stunning photos to go with the words!
Crazy world we live in,
Whether we like it or not,
Fear is growing everywhere!
No where to hide,no matter how far I run.
Back against the wall,
Wondering what to do.
Cats meowing loudly by the door
Saving me from my bad dream!
Have a nice day!
Yes indeed ... human and cat contact is so essential.
Thank you on the photos. I was trying to get better shots of the bee but she would not hold still. It was afterward I realized how beautiful the rocks and detritus were.
Cats save me from negativity!
Your photos are always quite stunning!
That so kind of you to say. I do spend some time editing them. Working from an old Iphone:)
Ya! Old iPhone is good; mine is iPhone 6! Hahaha.
I'm an 8
Thanks for continuing to make Hive awesome.
