On the subject of Ennui for @TopTweetTuesday with @MatthewMCSmith I've written this piece, called I Can't Be Assed. #poetry
ALT poem I have trouble getting off the sofa and I tell everyone that it's my rice crispy knees, but really, I can't be assed anymore as I've been abraded so thin by the heavy rasp of everyone else's tongue licking the life down and out of my tracing paper skin. Daniel Duggan

@blackboughpoems #TopTweetTuesday special thanks to @MatthewMCSmith for this wonderful venue. Two poems: one for #Apathy, the other #Ennui as this is how I'm feeling in regards to the political climate right now.

Writing between health appointments, etc., my contribution for @TopTweetTuesday this week is 'Scanned' - not sure which theme it aligns with (malaise?). Thank you as always to our #poetrycommunity and our host @MatthewMCSmith.
#imagist #poets
ALT Scanned Breathe in… Hold. … Breathe. … The American-accented white donut tells me when. … My body ectoplasms to grainy imaging I can’t interpret. Exhalations segue to lambent acceptance. … Answers mirage. I was told it’s like chasing shadows Phillipa Trelford

A poem for @TopTweetTuesday that fits in this space...
THIS FEELING
is fixed.
Swamp dark.
Raw and prehistoric.
Piranhas gnashing
between stomach and heart
hollowing.

Stumbled this week on this prompt so these poems are flung out of my writers block…. The first is love the second apathy… Hope you are all familiar with Wuthering Heights!!
