Free from section

A wretched emptiness

Writhing darkness tentacles

Missing my soul

Piece of me died

At least 27 times
 

Remember

Still I will love you

Till the end of time
 

11 degrees and cloudy

I can’t control the weather

I can’t save the day

But dry mango helps

 

On my knees again

Beginnings and ends

At the point of no return

Hanging onto what once was

L...

Hope

Like a shooting star on a night sky

Excitement follows its tail

Like firework on the 5th on November

The state of its passing peace

With a breeze of acceptance

But just a pinch

Like a leaf laying low

Brushed and curled around a small metal sphere

Someones rubbish can be somethings rock

Coots

I saw coots growing up this summer

Didn’t want to travel, party or go out.

I rather feed them with muesli mix each morning

Rocking on a boat

Speaking to the swans as they knock on my window

Growing up daily while chewing on our bananas

Made amazing memories with so many kinds

the coots very speedy

baby ones look like serial killers

with their fire red feather crown ...

City brain

I’m not here to say that nature is so cute

Thus, it needs saving

we have no right to damage anything in the world

it all deserves our respect

More so than our own kind I dare to say

No wonder why some can’t connect

Have they ever walked past a lake?

A river, a stream maybe?

Naked and real

Spotted different colours thought the day?

That they can recall from the back...

One more

One more poem

Just one more poem

And I will go to sleep

Between the fucked-up movie

And cigarette smoke

I can relate to wanting to kiss and rip your head off

The madness of love

Is the pure madness its intensity?

Just one more poem

To read and I will turn the light off and go to sleep’

Court II

Court again

Taking me back to that very day

Two ropes attached to an elder tree

Across the river swung on the wind
 

But just last night nute slept right there

Cuddled up to the elder

They listened to water songs

Pluming when fish played the river depths

 

Between brunches I hide

to see

He is removing parts of the tree

A climber began his slaughter work

Court: Stop HS2

Behind the tilted wall of glass
Sat our friends and with them foe
Judging matters of the heart, and conscious by law

The witness swearing on god
while lacking an aura compatibility
his divinity stuck
in the struggle of toxic masculinity

He is reading out a statement avoiding any eye contact
using lies as a guard
the bodyguard of lies

like veil his words come out sloppy muddy brown ...

It’s a song, but I have no sound to it.

Like a shoe at tiffiny’s

A sore thumb, an itchy foot

A plastic bag in the ocean

A metal lid in forest bed

The young dying for old’s man dream

 

You cut a hole into the wind

Escape on through it

Makes ya’ remember who you are

Not who you tried to be

 

Prototype of a mirror

Perspective of a reflection

Reflection on the reflection

Prototype of the self

Barefoot

I open my eyes

I sit up

look at you

take off my socks

am sitting on dirt

a fire burns nearby

people wondering around

life is better barefoot

Bermondsey beach

Live or die it’s always live

I come here to this beach which lasts for an hour a day

when the river Thames allows it to

The beach allows me to be

for myself

 

Be with the sound of waves with the nature and its city best

Exist at this moment - wave crashes slowly

 

You came here too

And they do come here

For the same reason

In solitude we try to think thin...

Currency of Time

Time? Currency?

The time currency is food.

The time currency is position of the sun and the moon.

The time currency is breath.

Time currency is step.

Time currency is blink.

The time currency is still.

 

Oh, let’s forget about time

The currency is freedom.

The currency is health.

The currency is love.

The currency is now.

 

Oh, let’s forget about the curr...

Feeling: existence

Stillness inner stillness

My parts of self are no longer in chaos

like running animals in a zoo with open cages

Coming together now gently

Joy

Joy can be a political act
Your joy
My joy
Our joy

Exist thrive and show up
For each other
For yourself

Joy is the infusion of freedom
Joy is my grandma’s name
Joy is my form of resistance
Joy is necessary for existence

Sense of self

I tripped

I slipped

Like wind blown

Loosing sense of self.
 

The temporary took over

With the power of now

It confused the owner.

 

And so far,

Head ahead

They blow

All the layers of persona.

 

Shimer pearl

Pulse of light

It’s my core

See me back.

 

Can you see the glimpses of it?

Can you understand it’s rhythm?

Like a train, a th...

Door to door


 

 

 

 

I like to be in company of women
Female voices


I'm struck how women and many FINT
(female, intersex, nonbinary, and trans) talk to each other.
How they have underlying understanding of unspoken truths
and speak of them
then act accordingly.


Mark conversational buzz with questions animated exchanges is resonant.
Full-bodied richness from one to another this fem...
