He waves his red flag
that he stitched the word
fate
on the front of
to hide the manipulation
dresses up poison bottles
with feel good labels.
He said it was all
coincidence
that everything in the house
was fake
the crystal wine glasses
were plastic
the walls
and his skin
paper thin
it's no coincidence
he's always "the victim"

Volcanic, Verdant, and Very You
Let’s get one thing straight: Peridot isn’t just a gemstone. It’s a whole mood. The color of envy, abundance, grass-stained knees, summer’s last laugh, and the green spark of magic that lives under your skin when no one’s looking. Which makes it a perfect prompt for August - that bittersweet threshold between peak heat and first harvest, where we start turning inward while still dripping with sweat and sunscreen.
