Dreamless

A Poem — A moment to be dreamless. Uninterrupted. A moment to be nothing. Wake me up when I’ve dreamed it all out, when the nightmares have all been had, I’ll dream of my mother a thousand more times before she dies — So why not sleep and sleep and fit and turn …

One Minute

One minute, you’re throwing your wedding ring at my mother’s feet. I blink, and I am walking down the aisle alone. It’s bittersweet. My partner stands there, proud and infatuated and comforted and beautiful. And yet, in the shadow minute, you are at my side, taking me to them. I…

Therapy

A Poem — “Name your feelings”, my therapist says. That’s the answer to everything, apparently. “I’ll try that,” I say, but I don’t know the words to this song. You made me a psychopath in my own midst. A killer prowling the grey lines in my own brain, mirroring the moves of others…

Dandelion

A Poem — I lost a play fight to a boy with a warm smile and cool eyes. What I lost was what my Mother told me to hold on to: I thought she would be furious but instead, she insisted I be more grateful for the bruises. But they aren’t mine, I…
