The now bronzed leaves are falling but...🍂🍂

In the blind weaver's cottage was an eerie sense of being watched...😱👀

As usual the weather forecast was wrong! 🤪

Clothes on the line were in tatters. Bloodied claw marks clearly visible...

Never travel past midnight...😳

Passing the crossroads a mysterious shrine suddenly appeared....😨

My #MyLiftToTheSky this week goes out to @alanparrywriter.co.uk and @thebrokenspine.co.uk itself.

You've been an inspiration to me as a writer, enabling me to accept the grit within my work. I have explored more facets of myself as a person thru #poemsabout than I could’ve possibly imagined.

a field guide for biochemical exhaustion

i stir the ingredients for chocolate chip cookies
in a bowl with my hands, as if kneading back
the accumulation of everything—
all the imperfect selves, the murmurs and mirrors,
ink ghosts on the flyleaves of books
i haven’t thought about in ages.

the body, like cellular layers—
stacks of drafts.
it’s like i’m searching for a word
some professor once told me
how to pronounce with an accent: oeuvre.

i add more chips to the bowl.
it’s an after-word word that i’m after,
the one you use when you’re looking back
at what you’ve made—
the burnt sugar and blood kind of stuff,
and what it cost.

That's a recipe and a half there! Brilliant!👏
