I saw a chameleon today
He changed colors and acted aloof.
Why engage while I can blend in?
Why have a color while I can take that of my surrounding?
He was as colorful as his environment.
He was the color of his companion.
I saw a chameleon today.
He rolled his eyes back and looked at a gigantic ogre!
He rolled his eyes front to watch his brittle grip
He rolled his eyes west and saw colourful twig
He rolled his eyes up and saw the burning star!
He rolled his eyes down to watch his little steps!

On the eve of the super moon. A day of reflections and recognition. Mainly for inflicting a painful and unsurprising arrivals during the 9th moon ☾. I, with a heavy heart, carry with me a message of choice, of a path laid upon me that goes against the state. A choice with an overwhelming presence that sits a float calm saline water of a shoreline that borders a warzone. With the winds absent-for they ought to keep a consistent appearance to dry the tears of the weeping mothers’ inlands – the grey sand adopts a demeanor so still and elusive that the eruptive mines buried under are a forgotten occurrence. Shadow tales of a past life ring true. Like the stories in the scrolls📜.
…when his phone rang for a second time, Kairo was still in bed. A seductive, lithe body carved a statue beneath the silk sheets beside him. As his gaze met Nyiri’s eyes, he fought the urge to rejoin her. At that moment, his appointments seemed more important, especially after the letters he had read that morning. He wanted to tell her and be done with it. Or so he justified. But his mind was better occupied. He loved that she made time to see him during her tour and was growing fond of her. Why put out the fire in favour of notes and revelations? Right then, no two people in the world needed more kisses for breakfast. Nyiri’s lips were soft and sensual, and no other decision was logical at the time.

Given an option between betrayal and her children, she grins with hatred. Not to show dilemma, but to express pity to those who dare question her decision making. No matter how close to home they stand. It is with authority and an invasion of personal space that she re-affirms a recurrence if she is ever on the stand again. Is it because I said it out loud? That now I quiver in fear of what I cannot fulfil. Is it the resilience of her will and determination to string together a family miles apart? Is it her ability to command and take charge? Is it her ability to disarm with words? Is it her ability to disarm without words? She knows him quite well. A familiar glare that mimics one from her children.

A cookout at the ‘dance on the Elder’s carnage’ lights up the sky. Amidst the cold night with a sparkling sky, an inferno bonfire ravages the effigy of the former head of office. Lorena sits still, her pen in hand, trying not to think of the obvious. Despite being set in the place of her childhood memories, her new portable office feels as strange as the land beneath it. In the stillness of it all, murmurs outside seem as inviting as the crackling fire. Is this another faint attempt to get her to attend? She feels unsettled by the silence of the state and its retaliatory branding of le jeune mouvement. Maybe it’s the deafening appreciation of Vihuela’s bestowed honor. A glorious future with its People intact. A glorious People with her future intact! Just like her modesty was undermined
