wintering in rouge chiffon
a Stink Bug, Halyomorpha Halys,
Brown Marmorated, unwelcome interloper
no amount of silken adornment
can disguise who and what you are…
a repugnant, reeking vermin disturbing my peace…lily

beneath the cloud-shrouded moon
she’s wearing diamonds tonight
in stillness but for droplets drizzling
every bough alive, bedazzled
in fluorescent-kissed ambiance
winter tree aching for the sun

For The Daily Post’s Wednesday Photo Prompt – 10-January 2018 – “Weathered”.
Photo taken on an iPhone 6S using the b&w filter in November 2017 by Kat Myrman.
On this Solstice Eve, darkness drips through the bare branches of ancient trees. The moon hangs low, a thin crescent, barely there.
The last thoughts of the departed are etched on stone tomes; loving epitaphs, names, dates.
Can you hear them? The souls who linger here whisper in the stillness, “Remember me.”

52 words exactly for the final installment of Sacha Black’s 52 Weeks in 52 Words Writespiration flash fiction challenge. The theme: Write about the night you spent in a cemetery.
(I took the photo above during a Haunted Savannah tour a few summers ago. The air was electric and thick with souls longing for life.)
