He’s a shadow And he leans in when I kiss him He’s getting darker For his without when I’m with him Not like before When it was only within I feel guilty When I really admit I miss him But I get off scott free Because no one ever listens Other than him, but He’s [...]

Moving Out And Getting Cold 17/09/2021
17/09/2021 I moved to London when I was sixteen and left a life of slight mundanity behind me. Essex never gave me what I truly needed; it never provided the excess, the chaos, the panting uncertainty that I realised I loved once I moved to the city. I went back to Essex two years after [...]
My Lessons Are Blessings
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 [...]
