get prompt
feel language strain, slice, split containment and split
worry
read clock
bury self in time, in work, in distraction
return to prompt
the word is noise is frozen fire razor-edged
worry
slice ribboned mind to bleed words through
worry more
words flood torrent drowns
write
erase
drowning, weep
write
erase
panic
repeat until there's no time
breathe shallow
post
panic
repeat
To be human is to be aware of my mortality
To use my dwindling time to leave a mark
A mark left when I move on
The world is built on these monuments
Of our ancestors' hopes and dreams
We stand on the shoulders of giants' statues
To build constellations of our own
If life were as long as the stars
Dying only with the Milky Way's light
I would mourn
Because I would have to watch the constellations I built
Die, leaving my tale untold

Mastodon, I need your help. I'm looking to relocate to a new instance to start off the new year but there's so many to choose from. What's a good fit for me? I'm a #scottish expat, currently living in #Seattle. I toot about #politics, #music, #poetry, running a #smallbusiness, and the occasional #meme. I am a member of the #lgbtq community, and a proud #trans woman. I have two #cats and a #husband who I love dearly and in very different ways. I tend to post with a heavy dose of #wit &/or #snark.

[A short gameplay video showing you walking up the side of a cliff. There is some grass on the left side and a very steep cliff to the right. As you are walking the screen glitches and you see a hypercard interface pop up. You click through it as it illustrates the path up using black and white dithered images.](https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/111/094/277/431/824/322/original/5657082f81f2d229.mp4)
