I remember the day I was adopted.
A tiny body in a chair too large,
a waiting room, a nun,
and a door that opened slowly.
A woman knelt smiling,
a man bent closerβ€”
and in that moment,
my life quietly began.

Majestic sun rises
thawing the numbness of seeds
green flashes spark life,
lush,vibrant splendor of foliage
beckons the migratory birds,
bounty of blossoms blush
their smiles stretch for miles
warming the world,
gratified by the magnanimous spring

Hills and tree converse.
Three words could capture the flow.

love is
keeping your heart
softened

while also
knowing that some people
won't change,

that cruelty
will be their currency
until the grave -

& then,
outlasting
them.

Poem written and Copyright (c) 2026 by Eric Montgomery (@madp03t.bsky.social). All Rights Reserved.

cheap color fade in the shade of weak light

old wall under thumb
dry paint loosens into dust
street noise far away

mean green budding, grudging through the crack

cold concrete breathing
thin roots testing the mortar
morning damp holds on

crushed flower with power ground into grit

heel mark in the dust
yellow smear across gray stone
pollen on the wind

gray suit in pursuit of shape on a wire

empty hanger sways
cloth remembers the body
room holds its silence

Cush cradle,
Absorbed verse.

Birch trunks kindle
an austere blue radiance,

moonlight extends
a lucid corridor
across unsullied snow,

guiding the gaze
beyond the quiet grove

toward a veiled valley
where dark water rests

and winter night
keeps immaculate stillness.

Treachery's Etiquette

A frontal thrust is crude,
The blade's true work is viewed
From where the gaze eschews.

No thrust succeeds without
The feigned and trusted scout,
Whose loyalty's abuse.

Watched

Three pings send me cold.
I know I shouldn't look but do.

β€œIt says you were active.”
β€œIt says you’re online.”
β€œYou told me you were sleeping…”

I stare at the screen, exhale.
Toggle settings.
Don't respond.
Pray for peace
and get five more pings instead.

β€œIt says info not available.”
β€œIt says status withheld.”
β€œWhat the hell are you doing?”
β€œI know you’re there.”
β€œWho are you with?”
My eyes ache.
I delete the messages.
Make this tomorrow’s problem.

I switch the phone to silent
to smother the pings,
turn my back to the glow,
and hope sleep will carry me
somewhere he can’t follow.

I can’t do this anymore.

hope holding myself hostage
smiling like a burst of light

Green menace 

infused arteries 
chlorophyll pumping
human-nettle-hybrids
lurking between 
bare ash trees

being watched
by deep-green eyes
hiding in plain sight
sylvan predators
whetting barbed fangs
on brittle bottles 
made of bones

our sins came alive 
forged in the flames
of burning rain forests
we created our monsters 
in feeding our greed
