I could’ve cried But I didn’t Good riddance Ain’t like it’s forbidden But I keep All this stuff Hidden For reasons I ain’t up for Permitting But just know By sitting With me through This episode After it’s bitten Is hitting Heart strings That never Thought they’d See remission This and that’s Been christened But [...]

How Deep
I wish I was deep But I see blue skies And podgy clouds And think of the Simpsons I don’t think of the soft pocked Cheeks that rain ran Sleekly down When you allowed Yourself to cry That one time I wish I was deep But I see anger in red Nothing more complex Just [...]
What’s That From?
I’ve found this little fray in my wrist dip It’s red and soft, splintered at the tip It tickles the base, at the joint face I rub my hands together and trip It’s getting longer as the days progress I tug softly, as the stitch gets distressed I pull too hard, it unravels in yards [...]
Steering Down The Barrel Of A
Let me say "no" Let me reject it (reject you) Let me go to brain dead From been knew Let me sleep on it Fuck it Chew it up and spit it out Let me draw a hand Then draw nought Let me pout when you spout And let me deny rain In drought Let [...]

The days go slow but suddenly another week has passed by. You get a lot done but it still don’t feel enough. Yet what a 2022 [...]
Leg Up Or Over
Work all week distracts me From my stupidity But Saturday mornings My only time free Are when my guilty Seeds start to reek And I realise I’m moving faster than My feet can keep up I speak like no boundaries Are in place And I dance to beats That only deplete The natural energies Of [...]
What Do I Really See?
One set, two set, three set, four sets of stepsAnd I’m there. The door farting back and forth air From hall to balcony from balcony to hallOne step, two step, three step, fourth and I fall Into four walls of plastered identity and reassuranceUnder each freckle of skank sits flesh ready to confess Hidden beneath [...]
Sticky One 17/11/22
17/11/22 This month I wanted to do something a little bit different for the newsletter. I am posting a short story, piece of prose I wrote a few months ago, called 'Sticky One'. To all my survivors: we got this. Enjoy. “You gotta be careful wid dem typesa girls, blud.” He burns the excess skin [...]
