inside myself
the foundation stone
laid down
the day we met
& even when we'd crumbled
to nothing but rubble,
our statue grew—
new bricks made
of denial
& romanticising.
Even now, I can't bear
to tear it down.
It'd leave too great
an empty space
inside of me.

its usual tricks—
lulling with cosy evenings
& a soundtrack
of gentle rain.
As if the walls
between worlds
have not
been compromised
as if ancestral ghosts
don't lurk in the dark
as if, when I sleep,
my dreams are not seeped
in all of the ancient magic
buried within me.

how it burns
through my dreams
evaporating them
one by one
til clouds rest
over my head
where blue skies
used to sit
but in this anticlimax
my life has become
there's a storm brewing
& when it breaks
I'll stand in the rain
& reclaim every dream
I haven't lived
yet.

The sudden shimmer
Stops time
cold
crisp
shining.
A symphony of silence
Booms.
We listen like thieves
Stealing foreverness.

How to Fuck Up Your Child
tell them their existence
is only to feed your ego,
criticize everything about them,
head to toe,
inside
out;
then anytime they
need you,
change the subject,
make it about you,
say you had it
worse,
and say
get over it.

Nothing is harder than marriage,
except maybe ending it-
telling someone you chose
that you’ve stopped choosing them,
saying that you are tired of fighting to make things work,
watching the face that you
still love,
be hurt

around in my pockets
like lint or loose change—
& used to value them
just the same.
But once I tried
to throw some
in the bin
& my heart,
with an anguished shriek,
snatched them back—
turns out these scraps
are all that's left
of the best times
I ever had.

follows me around
like a zombie,
unable to rest.
It wants my time,
my attention,
but I give it nothing.
It is not
what it pretends to be—
made grotesque
by too many attempts
at resurrection.
If only it could
lay down in its grave
& find the peace
we deserve.

how to say
I love me-
sounds trite,
simplistic-
self-hate has
been with me
like a perfect
fitting band
tour t-shirt
for adulthood-
self-deprecation,
devaluation
my norm
to avoid rejection
and it’s bee sting
some days I don’t love
me

deeply rooted
I'll stay in this soil
even as it's leeched
of nutrients
but my soul
is a foreign bird,
a nomad—
no fixed abode
it often stretches
out it's wings
eyes on the horizon
ready to fly
but there are branches
where wings should be
reaching reaching
toward the sun.

within an ocean of people—
feeling small & lonely
among an infinity
of souls
all scrambling for some
hold in this damned world,
even as the sinking ship
slides vertical
but you caught my hand,
gave me a twirl
now we laugh & we dance
as the rising water swirls.

& kind & decent
but I can't afford
the renovations—
something rotten
in my foundations,
long obscured
by youth & charm
but now I'm older
& it's starting to show
like woodworm
in the floorboards.
Tread carefully,
the sign says—
there are cracks
in the structure
of her.

Being a woman
is to be exploited-
your face,
breasts,
uterus-
belongs
to everyone,
everyone
makes comments
and decisions about them;
everyone thinks they
should have access
to all of you,
all the time
until you are used
up and discarded

This is not a poem about abuse
but the women
who
move through
the world
silently
in
shame
and
wonder
how
long their
wills are going to
hold
and
suspect
everyone
sees them
