Domiknitrix wrote about the word cabin 3 weeks, 4 days ago

a witch lived in a cabin, tucked away, secluded
her only companions the creatures of the wood
her guardians the ever-present trees
she confided in the birds
was consoled by the flowers growing in her garden.

tugging at his collar
he gasps
eyes wide with fright
or surprise

his tongue dry
his heart beating its way out of his chest
unsure

but she looks to him
she smiles
and turns away, and he follows willingly
ignoring the blood upon her lips
the cold touch of her hand

there are fences in the mind
fences that cordon off my thoughts
forming compartments for people
places
things

dividing possibilities
sometimes I wonder what my life would be like
without fences

what I am at liberty to say is what you are not at liberty to know

what I care to disclose you are blind and deaf to

as above so below
words we live by, but to what end?

why do we seek to mirror the worlds of sky and earth?

Domiknitrix wrote about the word conceal 1 month, 1 week ago

There are things about oneself one wishes to hide, things they don’t wish others to see. This was my thing. It was my one blemish, the single thing which stained my soul so that I could not bear for it to be known by the people I knew and loved. I was a writer. I [...]

mother sits at the table with some cloth in her hands. “It was my grandmother’s.” she says, fiddling with the apron strings, a dreamy, sad expression on her face. I wonder why she hasn’t gotten rid of the old thing, but then I take another look at her face, and I know.

thorns impale my fingers with every berry I grasp
thorns which leave my life’s essence to leak

it brings me joy to see that stained flesh

for it means I’m alive.

Domiknitrix wrote about the word cactus 1 month, 3 weeks ago

the other night I watched a special on food network where someone had to use cactus in her meal, and she turned it into sorbet, and apparently, it was the best thing the judges tasted. I wonder what it tasted like, because it was really brightly colored, so it must have had strong flavor.
