Lines Drawn in the Mist

The Twisting Tail

Would you give me anything I asked?” in a tone laced with power.
White lines bracketed his lips. “I’ll be no one’s slave.

Inescapable
This encroaching tripod
this faceless power
The erector of carrots and rods


Pressure ensued in subtle rips
Coarse lines issued
from pursed lips
Intersections through air
Veins trailing a spark
And without care
Lightning silhouettes in the dark


MYTH: To get a shock or burn, I need to touch a powerline.

FACT: Just getting too close could cause a severe shock, burn or even death. Electricity can jump or ‘arc’ through the air to you or any object that gets too close. Always stay at least three metres (10 feet) away from powerlines.


Skeletal
The bend of a switch
Breaks with a swift breeze

You may feel inclined to buy one, forgetting you have no one for whom this would be appropriate. Or you may feel as if someone should buy you a card as recognition for your loss.
