17/12/22 And another year wraps itself up. Snow came early and the cold came committed. Christmas is right round the corner even though halloween feels like it was yesterday. 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 [...]
The Midnight Brain
I’ll admit I miss you When it’s dark and I’m alone Soon as the first sparkle of sun Comes running, tho I’m back to my cold Always wanting to be in Opposition For some Reason Just begging for those late seasons Of small daylight And big angers So it ain’t just me who’s suffering I [...]

Was I supposed to get it off my mind? Was I meant to find solutions To my mania And bind trauma to prospects? Like… Was I under obligation to cry? Like… Then try techniques To pry open the sites You deposited Your burden into Before lock up And sprint to The next? You flex muscle [...]
22 For 22 17/10/22
17/10/22 I turned twenty-two nine days ago. We celebrated the new age with a Britney Spears themed party, bare country music and a lovelee, good time between friends. Each year after my birthday I use my newsletter to talk about some things I’ve learnt the past three-sixty-five, and this one has been a big cluster [...]
Your Skins Strike Again
Jumped the gun again Ain’t ya babe? Let the rage dictate And slated things That have now made The others hate Like you do on those days When the pages Are stuck like wet Rizla But I’m scared of your next move I don’t want you to prove Me right I want to lose I [...]
High Strung
I don’t take sugar But we’ll share spoon So I can steal some of Your sweetness I think to consume Such substance In front of strangers Shows weakness Some see beauty I see blue And black And bleakness I run full speed From the neons And watch as others Seek this Plethora of Glistening glory [...]
Learn As I Listen 17/09/22
17/09/22 I moved into my new home over a month ago now. I live with three of my dearest mates; two from Lyric Deep Ltd. The musical atmosphere has got me inspired, in both my own creativities but also in devouring others’. I want to use this newsletter to talk about some music I’ve been [...]
