prism

when pressured 

2 go with the grain 

in a way monotonous and gray 

back in the day 

they lifted the paperweight

to the sky. determined to bring it down

with a crack to the skull

had the glass not made colors

bold on the white classroom 

walls

BAD@LOVE - by Katya Mills

flash short #story published today here on latinosusa ... https://latinosenglishedition.wordpress.com/2025/07/01/bad-love-by-katya-mills/

starscape

thunderstorm 

starscape collapses into landscape 

we take cover inside hoods and waxed overcoats 

microburst 

washed out. blown. illuminated by pixels 

thugging it out

6.20

call on unseen forces reverse spin rising out of the vortex 

breathless shaking life

#katyamills

6.21

 solstice

earth and sun

in a liminal place

like us

friday afternoon in the Chinese restaurant

steam rising off these bowls

tanks bubbling with black bass

and dungeness

shifting effortlessly 

from work to

play

#katyamills

the realm

in the films
the screenplays
in the drawings
the realm
of extant suffering
intensity of
euphoria
