BitchAreDevilsEngulfing what used to be your soulNourish the sucklings of hateOn your bosomCome to my class I dare you but you need to beHuman From the news a couple of weeks back: “A country cannot be successful if its people and intellectual elite don’t believe in it. This means dealing with the poisoning of minds … Continue reading Response to wilful ignorance
28.2.2025 07:07Response to wilful ignoranceA circle of dull lightThe musky smell of old rubberEncroaching darkness of a cement pipeMade worse by breathing through a heavy filterJust crawl forwardAfterwards my arm was blown off–pretend From all the children my sister was chosen To stop me from dying–pretend I always wonderedWas it just our school Because of the military Stationed here … Continue reading Thoughts on Freedom
16.2.2025 17:09Thoughts on FreedomI am a woman I can be sad and happy Have a PhD and change car tires Dig garden beds and glam up Write poetry and mountainbike Cuddle in your strong arms And hold you when you are sad Make art and binge watch Netflix Roll up with a book and hike in a snowstorm … Continue reading Social media observation
23.1.2025 20:04Social media observationKnarled legs with pronounced senews.Remind me of the ancient hawthornat the Roman fort.Swollen knees akin to burls bend as we sit companionably next to one another. We watch the boys in their kayaks. Fishing for pollock far out in the bay. The third one on the look out is the great seal.Wondering who mucks about … Continue reading Old man on a dune, Durness
20.1.2025 19:59Old man on a dune, Durnessskin and flesh are imperfect vessels for the maelstrom at the centre at random bouts of anger burst forth tears, anxiety yet the spinning won’t slow barely contained by physical reality I bounce like Tigger just not as cute nothing is cute about me not even the pink nail polish so all that remains is … Continue reading Maelstrom
19.1.2025 17:34MaelstromWhen cold clings to your bones with painful fingers. You go for a lunch-walk to watch the sun set. The clouds shroud so heavily you can’t tell if it is day yet. Dark tendrils enclose your space the ceiling light fights a battle lost. The steam from your soup bowl fogs your vision. Hard rimmed … Continue reading Wintering
9.1.2025 17:13WinteringObsidian vines strangle the last light of day.Hungry fingers stretch across the sky devouring dying embers.Stars, phantasms of ancient fire, bear witness to the battle below.A wooden throne cradles the dying king.He lost the battle during this longest night.His blood saps into fallow acre.Nurturing the frozen soil so it may come to life once more.Humans … Continue reading The Holly and the Oak
23.12.2024 07:25The Holly and the OakMy out of office is on.I made it by the skin of my teeth.Literally.Yesterday.The dentist said I just need to relax. My out of office is on.I collapse on to the couch.Literally.Today.You got us bubbly and I am too tired to hold the glass. My out of office is on.I have no plans for the … Continue reading OOO
13.12.2024 17:47OOOMittens cautiously hold a steaming cupHot sweet tea and chocolate–the secret formulaWe huddle leeward behind a boulder White-out rolls over us like an angry dragonYour eyes crinkle mischievously A frosting sheet breaks off my bandana Storm tugs my outer layerYet the dragon’s talons can’t reach meSnug as a bug in a rug I amThick insulation … Continue reading Snowstorm
10.12.2024 18:42SnowstormThat’s it.I think.No knight on an exhausted steed rushing to the rescue.No benefactor pulling notes of worthless tender from fat pockets.No, nothing like that.No meaningless gestures.No empty materialism.Your touch, every time you pass me by.You alternate your path just for that.Silly dancing half naked on a sunny Saturday morningCajoling loudly to song.Cuddled underneath thick blankets … Continue reading Replying to Sara L

16.1.2024 07:12Comment on Behind the Iron Curtain by Nathalie TaslerYes the possible and likely futures of mind numbing monotonous work always bothered me even as a child. While everyone else was impatient to grow up, I always knew being an adult must suck.
