Make Dark Words
Red Dragon *Ghost*


Write a post inspired by the word : Dark


Dark implies an absence of light. It can mean more or less of something as in color.

“There are different kinds of darkness,” Rhys said. I kept my eyes shut. “There is the darkness that frightens, the darkness that soothes, the darkness that is restful.” I pictured each. “There is the darkness of lovers, and the darkness of assassins. It becomes what the bearer wishes it to be, needs it to be. It is not wholly bad or good.
Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Mist and Fury https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/tag/darkness

Looking out my Window-*Pumpkin2*

Someone recently wrote this exclamation, “What’s with this weather?” Last week a meteorologist predicted light snow on one of the weekend days. It did not snow.

For the last two weeks stratocumulus clouds cover the sky. A systematic dark cloud cover known in the colder months of the great lakes. The air switches between dead stillness and 30 mile per hour winds at any given moment. We are experiencing ninety-five per cent humidity today. Eighty five per cent of the trees are totally bare. The dank pall is difficult to mentally navigate.

Yesterday, the meteorologist predicted rain. The air was full of a cold mist made darker by the blackness of the bare trees and heavy cloud cover. It wasn’t a real rain just a dark cold wet filling the air.

There are no deer grazing in the yard or field, no wild turkeys combing the area for bugs and seeds, no birds at the full feeders. All the wild creatures huddled down in their beds on another dank day. When the wild creatures go to ground the subfusc air holds a nocturnal silence.

The dampness invades the house and gives the rooms a chill impossible to fight, even though, there is heat in the house. The electric bulbs light an area. The light can’t reach into the dark parts of the room. Just outside the circle of light, that reaches out from a bulb it is tenebrous. Parts of the room are obnubilated.

It does not help the penumbra area, that this is the week ending in the Halloween celebration. An abstruse holiday. Made for inky decorations of ocher, puce, and ebony coloring. It’s dark, It’s dark, It’s dark. Perhaps the earth, or at least the atmosphere is celebrating the darkest holiday of the year.
