Blue Dreams

Fragrant struck Sapphires

flush in guiding light

into Red mornings.

Carry the dream she told me.

Sapphire eyes begging for a chance

to plead for her dream

as a weeping baby.

We are the dream she told me.

Sapphire eyes carry into the light

holding sheets of future

looking for the next encore.

Trainer Orange Ep.4

Waves crashed against S.S. Sire. The captain stood at the helm with his companion, guiding the Sire into troubled tides. Land is gone from the naked eye: it is only the sea. Magikarps swim along side the Sire like a father.

Vulpix curled in a ball with her eyes closed only opening to the crash of water, her eyes were always open. Martin was the same.

“Ye alrite thr Martin?” Martins throat erupted and clogged at the last second.

“Are we almost there?”

“Onlyanhour and well be there.”

Franklin glared out into the sea staring deep at the Magikarps. Their eyes moved rapidly side to side, fearful.

“You know your mom isn’t going to be there. Right?”

Franklin can feel the shadow of his father across his cheek.

“I know.” Martin, unsure, responded coldly “Than why did you say that back on the pier?”

Franklin layed his head on rim, staring at the Magikarps stuggeling to follow the Sire.

“I need to find her.”

“Why? We could just stay home and you can play with Vulpix at home.”

“I can’t, dad.”

“I don’t understand, Frank, why do you have to find her? We haven’t seen her or heard from her in… in a long time.”

“I need to know.”

Martin walked to the rim and looked down at the water, maybe at the Magikarps, and met Franklin at the eyes.”

“Know what? What do you need to know?”

Franklin walked away and towards the restless Vulpix.

“Franklin?”

“I need to know why she left.”

Thanks

Can you pass the ketchup?

Margin for error is slim

table is full

members that gather for that one day of the year

bring a bottle wine

wine and dine

sweet potato pie.

Can you pass the ketchup?

Margin for error is slim

table is gone

couch is full

the Boys lose again

America’s team

drink to forget

the crowd of people that gather for one day of the year.

Can you please just pass the fucking ketchup?
