#Inferno coleus

[faguscarolinensis]

Coleus scutellarioides 'Inferno' / 'Inferno' Coleus at the Sarah P. Duke Gardens at Duke University in Durham, NC

[hauntedmoon519]

blessed be the burial of the broken braggadocio

(venomous photosynthesis.)

damned, damn

how nice it must be

to drink of the wine and mead

drained sapped of the honey bee

so cheerful bright with

a quick punch, nee slap to the knee

i sit in service, choking on my spit

of course of course, poisoned by

incompetency

strobe spot flash

cameras

i bleed dark inspiration into

the minds the hearts of

empty hollow eyes sunken

rolled and aghast with

fright you should

run

maybe just maybe

i think i have been

betrayed as

there seems to be

a knife nestled betwixt

my ribs and i cough

conversations start with

a flash in an appearance in interest

so i become disinteresting

bland tasteless even bitter

coleus mulled whiskey

it is sharp and bitter its

burned and muted like

the soft embers of an inferno

no one cares for the ashes or embers

only they chase of the flame

i resign myself to

the mothballs stained and sickly

the drunken fireflies blinking out

as faded as phantom stars in the sky

lock the door on your way out, would you?

they will only look for the

offering made worth it and i

am nothing of

worth

1. The rain held off while I was out in deez streets w/o my reusable shopping bags. 2. I perfectly estimated how much potting soil I'd need. 3. Makers 46 was on sale at the ABC store. 4. I found 'Inferno' & 'Ruby Slipper' colored coleus that might not die in the shade. 5. The geraniums are planted & smelling heavenly. 6. I got carded & side eyed by the cashier like a high schooler w a great fake ID. 7. Knee will be here soon. 8. I got sumthin for these mad disrespectful tiger mosquitos this summer and this annoying cough. 9. Gilligan & I finished our chores just in time for a toast before the sky opened up. Don't tell him I said so but Gilligan honestly wasn't much help with the plants. In his defense he always pours a great drink. 10. God thought it not robbery to completely heal Gilligan's catastrophic drink-holding hand injury, so we're blessed to spend another peaceful summer together in my happy place. Bonus: Even if the rain doesn't stop soon, this is rainbow weather & my uncle gave me the coolest umbrella yesterday. Where ever you are, whatever you're doing, who ever you're with, I hope you're falling over reasons on top of reasons on to of reasons to feel #GRATITUDE this weekend! Here's To Your #UnspeakableJOY 👑
