She might have painted the sea—
or a golden field of wheat
beneath a hazy summer sky—
but he took her brushes,
left the bristles splayed,
the paints dried out,
and the turpentine cloudy.
And though she said nothing,
her easel disappeared one day
like a wispy cloud no one missed.
After that,
she painted nothing but dinner.

They had imagined themselves
sharing a studio but
he needed all...

Against Society's Erasure
I am tired of broken peace,

I am tired of rules and laws,

I am tired of bad critics,

I am tired of discrimination,

I am tired of hypocrite doctrines,

One of the most evil things is ignorance and arrogance,

Society has a lot of dissonance,

Society has had a lot of decadences,

Society has a lot of violence,

Society has many negligence,

Society has...

Erasure
not in the heart again
for chrissakes it's like Swiss cheese
decoffinated please I'm a yet ambulatory zombie
off his medication as usual
alternatives to logic 101 with Prof. Spike
far too much work for a dead end
saw his only ally the embalmers needle
left his innards spilled in the sand
history in its entirety mocked his comprehension
had the nation in tears...

Premium Member Fear and Erasure
roving black hole
devours
a misplaced life
somewhere
in the futile fog
of wandering warfare

it's baked in the cruel cake:
an ultimate deletion
is coming for us all
with groaning glee

we scratch an incendiary itch
under the hood of 
a mutilating maelstrom
where cryptic terror gushes 
from loose AI cannons

I fear it all
but there's nothing
to fear but 
the imperfect 
storm...

Erasure - Half Alone
Erasing half of you into another
Merging like flour into water
Swaddled in comforting love.
When alone damp and bone chilled
Staring through rain slicked woodland
Alone with the unknown world 
Of leaves and fungus and dark earth. 
I am something I was not alone.
There is no fear just grief,
I have forgotten my face, my voice
Is half of you and...

Found Out To Be Erasure Poetry
found it out to be
some erasure poetry
was perfect for me

Is this what Trump did
at Mir-a-Lago?...

Light's Erasure
To obey a whispered command,
It pirouettes, through existence grand.
Weaving tapestries, prismatic and bright,
At the behest of the celestial light.
In its waltz, it paints unseen hues,
Illuminating secrets, ancient and true.
The conjurer stands at reality's crossroads,
Weaving constellations, in cosmic abodes.

Each gesture bends time, twists fate's design,
Auroras bow, veils swaying in line.
The moon, a silver coin in the...

The UK was never innocent just cowardly
The uk is guilty too
Stop hiding behind America 
You were involved too
It's time for you to take the stand
Reveal the blood on your hands 
Accountability is calling your name 
America can't take all the blame 
When it was them who followed your lead 
Joining the slave trade from your influence

Don't hide behind black American history...

Lines of Erasure
They split the land, but not the pulse. 
Roots remember what maps forget. 
Every severed line still hums 
with breath, with blood, with return.

They drew the map with ash and absence— 
not to guide, but to erase. 
Districts split like broken ribs, 
each line a scalpel, 
each vote a ghost.

We watched the ink dry on...

Where do all the voices go?
Where do all the voices go
When told to repress their emotions
Do they fake a smile and swallow it whole
Or do they bury their heads in the ocean and scream

The black voices are silenced
Trapped in the purgatory of compliance 
Usually erased by a history of violence 
Or thrown into solitary confinement 
No light, no windows
Just an...
