I remember going into that music shop Going to the top floor Taking pictures of the notation Before leaving with no money spent But a pocket full of score. I told you all about it, You said, it was illegal, I said, I doubt it, You said, it is. It’s not evil, Just theft. I [...]

Primrose Ill
She said come Primrose To watch the sunset But I knew my presence Wasn’t wanted So I laid the other side of the field Wishing it was a double date But instead I’m just third wheeling My mate Maybe I’m too much Actually, I know I am I know I’m a lot to take I [...]
Sobriety Is Complex 17/09/22
17/09/22 Not drinking is hard. Maybe for some it don’t bother so much. But for people like me, where it can consume them, it is bloody hard. I’ve been sober now over two and a half years. I started drinking early in adolescence, and it was my main vice to escape issues I was too [...]
Typical
Bless you for giving a shit I never noticed that view before I never considered you before Something worthy to adore But now you poured Out all that heart Over all my flaws And still asked for that little bit more So naturally I’m rather infatuated But with all that love-spill, My own giving a [...]
Ms Ghost Station
I’m in King Cross’s womb Bumping down the disused Tunnels Ready to slop out in the early hours All grey due to my recent surroundings I’m found in Slippery oil slicks, hi vis And darkness But I felt safe in there The air stuffed itself It gorged on bum fluff Supervisor huff, and She churns [...]

After spending so much time building your art up, it can feel like a big ball of energy that you want to send spinning into the world. Each rehearsal makes the fire burn brighter. Each question from mates asking ‘When? Where?’ chucks another [...]
Hypoglycaemiadreamia
You spoke to me like I was human But I had big eyes and antennas Still you took patience Carving stories like hands under henna Pausing for my breaths And then a Sweet check up to see if I was keeping with But I wasn’t I was fluttering eyelids And seeing triple There were ripples [...]
Funder Bolted
I think you’re the bee’s knees Even on days like these When life don’t treat you To the things you deserve When you ain’t served Lurve or kindness When you got that blindness To your wonder And those smarts That bring a beige day Thunder. By Lyric Deep.
Don’t Die For Da Dates & Grades 17/06/22
17/06/22 I wrapped up my second year at university in May. I handed in my final essay a couple weeks earlier than it was due, one-part because it was finished and I didn’t want to tempt tinkering, one-part because once it was given in I could let me hair down and get glad-ragged without worrying [...]
Fruit Fly
I slam my hand against the wall Praying the little body will fall Then praying it’ll ascend above Because you can never kill with love I slam my fists against the wings Take from God his little things Then smush with tender touch Because you can never kill with love I slam my fingertips into [...]
