I’ve always moved in acceleration. Done light years in adolescence, Lived all my 9 before I got my period And made up my mind Before I got any sense. I’ve done plenty I never meant - Wrote texts I’ve never sent, Straightened out kinks I should’ve bent, And attended to events I should’ve left. I [...]

My Skin Is Like The Sky
I sit, head back and neck aching Feet naked and fire blazing Watching the sky; Satellites out on the darkness just grazing And I pick the stars out, it’s amazing. I find them so beautiful, Littering the picture, small spots bursting And patterns of mandalas and faces And shapes and traces of magic Lace the [...]
Chocolate… But Not Really 17/08/21
17/08/21 You’d call me a nutter if I told you how a cup of hot chocolate helped me get in touch with my creativity. And that statement really does sound crazy. Because it is much more limited, lexically, than the expanse of feeling behind it. Ceremonial grade cacao is more than a Horlix, however. Based [...]
Where Everybody Is Somebody
They say the Devil was an angel, But why the past tense? Don’t they sense The raw mystery Of darkness? The glory of black, Or the beauty of swallowed up? So I’m using present to follow up My description of the S word Because there’s a looking glass in all terms Of negative and positive [...]
Thank You From A Skank Who
In that photo you called me beautiful in I hadn’t washed for days My knickers were glued to me And my chest was laid With red marks as my bra Never left it’s resting place I’d smoked at least 300 fags And my fingers were yellow stained My skin was pimpled, my legs hairy And [...]
Getting Ahhht: An Update 17/07/21
17/07/21 Being boxed in ain’t no fun, and this last year has had us fastened up in our four corners for way longer than humans can cope with. In England, the 19th is the date all our lockdown regulations loosen. Wearing masks will stop being mandatory, going out will be easier and sweet freeeeeeeedom will [...]
Used To Be Fun Though
It goes like this right: the mood will be like, Perfect, and the vibes light. There will be laughing and, just a little, play fight, Some flirting! and a few “oh I might”s, then the papers come out, the baggies and the Stoners’ tackle. Fingers will pinch, tongues lick, lighters will get passed round and [...]
(Give Me) Nothing, My Lord
I mean I’ll leave you alone if you prefer that But don’t let me make home on my own Then start to stir that Pot like you always do, When I’m strong and you prefer that Girl who wobbles in the throttles of your paws as you claw that Side out of me again and [...]
Is This It? 17/06/21
17/06/2021 For this month’s newsletter I wanted to do something a little bit different. I wrote this piece last year after noting down all of the things I saw when on a walk. It is about loneliness and how it can effect the way we view the world, but also about how the world can [...]
I Wasn’t Raised On Scripture
I wasn’t raised on scripture or a certain ideology I had my own brain and was allowed to let it follow me Many times in youth, hit hard with the truth, But I never let it swallow me And I’ve met God plenty of times but he never did acknowledge me I’ve been broken before, [...]
