These are poetry drafts. I consider all my poetry in a constant state of drafting, some with revision ongoing, others merely gathering dust. Some have been published but will still be considered drafts.

N.B. When these posts were imported I noticed some of my reblogs also got pulled in. It should be ovious from the contents that they are reblogs from other writers. I am in the process of removing those posts.

Special Regret (meow)

I shave my balls and wait for the
Penny to drop. The bouncing fires of
Hades matter, like time and the
Beating of hearts.

I wear your earrings as a token,
Stolen; like the skin I broke as I
Pushed right through; I’m sorry.

I walk in your shoes, high-heeled &
Covered with lipstick; bleeding.

I am a vibrating pussy now; kneeling

I am so dripping wet; but for you I am just a

Wooly Dreams

Days without sleep
I sit down without
Thinking

Forehead hitting edge of
Table & I bleed
Profucely

I remember enjoying silence
Masturbation among the
Sheep

Days without sleeping
Without orgasm or
Progress

Days speaking of the Otherworld
To this world and the
Weary

Mindless sheep with
Wooly dreams which I cut
Without bleeding

As a child I liked chocolate milk

As a child I liked chocolate milk, hot and
White bread; dipping

I now mix the powdered chocolate
With vodka: to recreate the feeling

I fail with my endeavour
(I fail at most things…)
I blame bad parenting
Or the lack of --

French bread

When Funny goes to die

When funny goes to die // slowly through illness // terminally ill goes stumbling and dies // right there before us - funny has died // there are only tears left here // not of the happy type // not the type they deserve // a funny man // a funny woman // funny has died // rest in peace

lights out

The recycling of souls never triggered the warning light. Not that it would have mattered, the bulb broke aeons ago

the long walk

Forever is a long walk
On crutches down a
Slippery slope

I fell hard as a youth and
Not sorry to say
I am still

sliding

1st.

As far as time-lines go
I named her my first,
Not knowing her actual gender
I found her sleeping rough,
Beneath a pile of books
I called her pretty,
my dear Roseanna I convey this
In the toungue of the ancient mariner,
I cared for her so blessed life
I carried her with me until her birth,
But without knowing and intention
I failed her as any parent would,
Not knowing her actual gender
I named her my first, my all
With her legacy intact
She now calls me fool,
I hesitate to argue
This smallest of truths,
My first, my unborn

will still be you

Z

I want love
as a distraction


I want love
and your knickers
in a twist

I want love
and my angel back
& Z is the end of
the love

I seek

the leaf

Growing up in the dark and the cold
I had a soft spot for the maple leaf:
One of ours made his name afar
Breaking bones defending a thin
blue line

I took comfort and found inspiration;
turned myself into a defender likewise,
We made drawings back then
of famous players; and of contemporary
downhill racers. We drew them and shared
as the children we were

In the land of the maple tree
I did not grow up to become the me,
but the pride of the leaf
remains with me still
on this day as if it was already mine &
for tomorrow

as my guiding light
