Little Lemon Flower,
How do you grow so far away
From the sun
When it’s raining, and the shoulder of shadow
Drinks in your tears?
Little Lemon Flower,
Don’t forget about the honey bee,
the Twilight balm
That creamed the crop,
The honey dew of orange-green stars,
A slice of lemon sun,
A drink of nectar
From your dreaming, climbing vine heart?
Little Lemon Flower,
Ghost Orchid wants what it can’t have.
Little Lemon Flower
loves another in a red box of green water spring love, tailored to an idea,
And idea of heavenly bliss in purple and another paired hue hidden behind smart words.
Ghost Orchid will love you from afar,
Hoping our petals unite
In pity, in fact, even if it is just
In platonic dreaming flight.
Little Lemon Flower,
Ghost Orchid misses you so bad,
They are choking on the ghastly
Beautiful Swamp Thing’s orchid petals,
Hanging in the air like a real ghost.

Dusk 1
I have felt the air leave my body, wholly, as though a deep wind had been whipped out from my very spirit. I knew the last thing I saw. Big dissociative eyes, amber and bloodshot, like a hammer had hit my very windpipe with his gaze, those piercing eyes that have haunted me—now like an unsettling whisper. A frenzied phantom. An engorged ghost full of blood but no bones. Red lightning sinking into my throat as his talons gripped me tight. Too tight.

Ludacris and Nelly draw backlash over bookings at MAGA-coded music festival
Ludacris and Nelly headlining a mostly right-wing event is good for them. It’s also great for the genre of hip hop. The two rap veterans have showcased their talents on other stages. Why can’t they perform for mostly MAGA folks and grab that bag?
