Body Memory

January 13, 2021 FlashLeave a comment

This getting older

It feels like confidence and

Competence and clarity

And yet it looks like

Mechanical wear and tear

– betrayal by the body.

Democracy

January 8, 2021 FlashLeave a comment

Does (or can) it exist…

… if it waves lily white flags

And supremicists

raging in defeat…(deceit?)…

lose their delusional minds?

Youth is over before you know it.

January 6, 2021 FlashLeave a comment

It’s been a long time

Since fluoro lights and retail

Tunes marked time between

Makeup and music and smoke

From cigarettes in nightclubs

Body Pains

December 26, 2020 FlashLeave a comment

My knee aches today

But not my heart, that one is

Pumping baby, like

I am ready to face this day just right after this coffee…

And me

December 23, 2020 Flash3 Comments

Revolutionary?

To say I love me and you

It is not a war

And there is no either or

Just an I love you …and me

Post Scripts

December 22, 2020December 23, 2020 FlashLeave a comment

It has come to this:

I write Post It notes to me

And they say things like

‘You are enough’ and stuff like

‘You’ve got this, you have got this’.

Aching

December 18, 2020 FlashLeave a comment

A dying cat sprints

Over the last finish line

Innately hopeful

Heart breakingly valliant

And blind sided in defeat.

I inherited

My father in law’s walking

Stick. It has sticky

Tape and a sticker with his name

I think I will paint it pink.

A tanka to Melbourne

October 5, 2020 FlashLeave a comment

I can’t read your lips

but your masked voice is soothing

Busting the seams of

My hands longing to touch you

In privacy unveiling

You laying there, me beaming.
