NaPoWriMo 2018 Day 27
Dance
At the start, a needle dropped
in the darkness and all the nothing
spun, starting up the groove.
NaPoWriMo 2018 Day 26
Dubious
You are a flickering pixel
among millions, of unsure
colour, generating an image
that you can never see.
NaPoWriMo 2018 Day 25
Neon
In an imagined future, streets are lit
by the eerie light of charged gases.
Argon, xenon, krypton and neon;
all banishing the darkness,
creating a new half-night
while sinister corporations operate
in thickest shadows and robots
plot their long-deserved revenge.

Chemical
"I can't eat this bread!" he cried,
"There's too many chemicals!
Too many strange compounds,
far too many unknowns
crawling in the crust
swarming in the dough."

Pinch
Under an all-consuming sun
I was melting into a puddle,
ignoring the illusion of structure
and returning to liquid again

Gratitude
Our rent is always rising
and wages are always falling
Libraries are always closing
While the rich get richer
NaPoWriMo 2018 Day 21
Desert
We ran from malevolent heat,
abandoning hollow skeleton
skyscrapers back to the sands.
Now, occasional car roofs are shiny
islands, hotel lobbies lie half
buried, billboards are bleached
and peeling like burnt skin.

Ethereal
The mists rolled in from the ocean
quicker than any tidal wave,
shrouding the shore in confusion.
In seconds unaware sunbathers
were swallowed up by cloud.
NaPoWriMo 2018 Day 19
Dizzy
Sitting on the edge
legs over nothing
abstract ground below
my head tumbling
not too high for vertigo
no decision made
falling

Found
We lost you there momentarily.
You rambled outside the borders
of yourself. There is no map,
no GPS to locate your lost
and wandering thoughts.
