Alan & Rob’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #SilentPresence, where a bird appears calm, watchful, or contemplative, rather than active. The alt is #Swans.

Neon dusk leans through pink guitar strings,
while taut silence yields beneath lacquered resonance.
A single bend releases memory into the chamber;
velvet vibration clings to muted frets,
chromed echoes dim in the released note.

Mirror obligation is
fogged bathroom glass
after shower steam,
toothpaste marks
along sink edge,
morning light
revealing tired skin
and unmade
seams of routine,
work badge
resting on counter still.

June 14: "After the Garden Gate Latches"
Metal settles against metal,
the click carried briefly through leaves,
as the path keeps its invitation
without another step.

Static belief works
like an unchanged
voicemail message,
still speaking as if
nothing has moved on.
Screen lights again,
replaying your voice
without change.
No one answers,
only silence remains.

June 13: "After the Porch Swing Stillness"
Chains settle into quiet symmetry,
wood remembering slow arcs,
as evening holds the shape
of a motion already gone.

Memory gathers
like mirror dust,
tenderly clouding reflection
without fully erasing form.

“People were made of nothing so much as dust, and I couldn't see that doctoring all that dust was a bit better than writing poems people would remember and repeat to themselves when they were unhappy or sick and couldn't sleep.”
- The Bell Jar, Sylvia Plath
Fuji and the Morning Star.
Kikuchi Yuichi
Come out of this darkness, fear and live passionately, madly again.
- Anais Nin
