Seeing back
My mirror sheened to shining, my white dyed like spearmint Some strict say they won’t have it near them, I clear them out Show them clearly what’s dear to me, it’s not dear to me Pay fifty for a twenty five, give the change to a homeless guy My poems read less often than a…

Ghosts
East wing a haunted corridor The doctor who would be paid for staying Wanted to leave before tea that first evening Swore in the furthest corner of the ceiling In partial concealment, a vengeful demon made bleak appearance Shadows long scheming, longer seeming, successfully breached worlds Breeding curses, unfurling tendrils of swirling corpselight wended A…

Planning for the waning year
Don’t care if I’m solo, expecting no guests I dress best hiding inner duress, alone wearing a rusty tiara Browned wedding gown’s dirt penned into epochs like layered dessert Repeating my day of hurt, coating dust robes a book A brook of unbroken light smiting stubborn stillness by smouldering flight Spills across a shoddy diadem’s…
