Just Me

I don’t see what he sees.  
He says:

clever, 
but my thoughts feel cluttered,  
a slow tangle of almost‑ideas  
doomed to never bloom.

talented,  
yet my fingers hesitate,  
hovering over half‑finished hopes  
I’m too shy to ever try.

beautiful,  
but the mirror mutters back  
in muted tones
as eyes pause at the flaws.

funny,
but my jokes are bitter,
sputtering slivers of vitriolic wit
scattering anywhere, everywhere.


And still his words arrive 
again and again,  
a chorus of praise I don’t believe,  

Maybe one day  
I’ll catch a glimpse  
of what they insist exists.

But for now I'm just me.
Just me trying to trust  
they’re not wrong  

about who I am.

AI tells companies
to not hire me
$40 on groceries
every two weeks
no food banks
support allergies
President wants to take
my healthcare that's free
it's hard to rise when
the future you see is bleak
when you're too poor
to buy necessities
and just not poor enough
to get the help you need

Nothing is missing except everything  
Ink falters; the paper frays.  
Above us, a sky held up by pins, stars  
a curtain someone left half‑drawn,  
careless show, a stray thought in tow, the light gone fraught.  

We drift, unanchored.  
Honey‑heavy,  
softened by ease,  
until we crave the sharpness, 
the salt, the ache, the waking.

sweet heat settles slow
#everything drifts closer
a quiet glow in the lungs

#EVERYTHING #CLOVE #CONSENT

Sì! I consent, to the scent
Of the clove on the stove;
Penne aglio e olio
by turgescent lips rent;
Its allium accent recrudescent
upon our breaths in each kiss.
In my consent, everything is meant.
Salsiccia, toum, cloves-
stakes.

I left behind
so much
it felt like everything

who drags around
a library of books
for decades
only to one day
leave them behind
including
an autographed copy
of Girl, Interrupted

a collection
of seashells
started in childhood
taking up
too many boxes 

fourteen
mini-snow globes
mementos of road trips -
too breakable
to deal with

I left behind
pieces of me
the good memories
so I could run from the bad

You never forget what you leave behind, good or bad.

phone screen glows
the quiet tonight settles
thin light from glass
leaves long doubt as hours pass
across the empty room
no messages arrive
the glow slowly fades

tonight you're mine
desire, hazy shades of love
nibbles on necks
whispers traced in sweat
one last kiss at dawn's light

Nanu nanu shazbat!
Let's get nostalgic tonight!
Been feeling an egg-ache
For the old cozy hatch
that landed me on Earth
And into your alien life.
You broke that zany crust
and found yolks galore!
Aren't we egg-scellent
as an odd couple?

You were a kind man so mild,
worried by my blood moon excursions
where lycanthropes lurked.

Into a cursed canine maw
Your mug transmogrified
and my spoor turned tragic gore.
Of shock I died in your arms, love,
a sweeter end than
my doctors foretold.

short-sighted, dim of wit,
Saddled by bland hide,
Ready to thunder on
with heavy hooves
My high eyebrow horns
framed by manes and oh-mys

Can't see how far
how many sharp degrees
we can bend

we can never drown all our sorrows
or find meaning in empty words

when we take more than we can borrow

in the end it's just a dustman's holiday
thrills and spills,
and strange kind of pills

Did you dance inside my mind
unwind my spine for all you could find
did you wander free
weaving a tapestry
of ancient wisdom

or swim through long rivers and lakes
drafting water into shapes
laughing at the sounds you make
in the light of joy

left bitter and jaded
locked myself away
for protection
years hating, isolating
avoid people, avoid pain
it's unimaginable
the damage it does
how awkward you are
when you emerge
after years of isolation
staying silent instead of
saying something stupid
or saying something stupid
then going silent anyways
wondering if it's best
to remain alone
in the end

The End

There’s a crusty loaf cooling on the countertop scene,
and suddenly the family turns properly mean.
It’s elbows, egos, territorial claims,
you’d think the end slice came with a promise of fame.

That crunchy conclusion, that premium bit,
everyone acting like they’re entitled to it.
A bread-based battle, a carb-fuelled feud,
the kind of behaviour that’s frankly quite rude.

But bring out a sliced loaf, factory cut, bland and square,
and the crusts sit there, they’re going nowhere.
They’re the outcasts of bread, the culinary dread,
ignored like gym leaflets or low-fat spread.

Kids peel them off with forensic precision,
like they’re making some life-or-death bread decision.
They soon stack up in a sad little pile,
a graveyard of slices rejected in style.
And although the waste is completely absurd,
they get thrown outside to feed the birds.

The pigeons descend with a look of disdain,
like, “Mate… we’ve seen some rubbish, but this is insane.”

And that’s the paradox, the bread-based farce:
why one type of crust gets grabbed en masse,
while the other’s condemned without second glance,
not a hope, not a prayer, not the faintest chance.
