Thank you! I was hoping it wasn't too obscure but horror fans should get it 😂

I'm a featured poet at a horror open mic this Friday. Going dressed as Blade. I'm so excited.

Today is my 2 year wedding anniversary 💜💍💛

For our anniversary last year I wrote The Chef's Wife, after reading Dorianne Laux's poem, The Shipfitter's Wife.

You know I'm in love if I'm writing #longformpoetry 😂

#poetry #lovepoetry #anniversary #chefwife #doriannelaux

The first of three slides of a poem titled "The Chef's Wife (After Dorianne Laux)". It reads:

i loved him most
when he came home after twelve hours of firing at all cylinders
non-slip shoes coated with oil and butter
forearms splattered with dark spots that make me frown,
burns he is immune to after two decades in the kitchen,
rag over his shoulder shouting ‘yes, chef’ and ‘heard!’
over clanging pans, flying dishes, slamming trays,
stoves and ovens roaring,
broiling, sauteing, toasting, grilling
controlling chaos in a mad environment
i cannot ever understand or know,

i love to smell the barbeque smoke in his beard,
and it is no wonder i wish to devour him,
this man who is elbow deep in meals all day,
i hold firm hands that have done time working the line
that have diced, chopped, and butchered meat
i want to loosen him, knead him, roll him out like dough
be sweetness amid savory

i give him soft places to rest his head and cramped hands
i soak in his kitchen with its quirks and cooks
i picture him drinking water from a plastic quart container
a moment of reprieve on the conga line
when he is in the weeds in the middle of the dinner rush
until the diehard basketball fans retreat home
only after creating their celebratory feasts can he do the same
when he crosses the threshold and embraces me
i liken myself to that chug of water from a quart cup
the quenching oasis after the kitchen’s inferno

A copy of The Shipfitter's Wife by Dorianne Laux. It reads:

I loved him most
when he came home from work,
his fingers still curled from fitting pipe,
his denim shirt ringed with sweat,
smelling of salt, the drying weeds
of the ocean. I’d go to where he sat
on the edge of the bed, his forehead
anointed with grease, his cracked hands
jammed between his thighs, and unlace
the steel-toed boots, stroke his ankles
and calves, the pads and bones of his feet.
Then I’d open his clothes and take
the whole day inside me—the ship’s
gray sides, the miles of copper pipe,
the voice of the foreman clanging
off the hull’s silver ribs. Spark of lead
kissing metal. The clamp, the winch,
the white fire of the torch, the whistle,
and the long drive home.

I went to London 9 years ago (can't believe it's been that long lol) and the Tower of London was one of my favorite places to visit! 🐦‍⬛

The First #Draft

#poetry #writersky

The first draft

There's nothing to edit until
the first draft exists
this is the version of the story
that will only exist for you

Write it poorly
with plenty plot holes
you can't weave details
without the foundation

Allow it to be free
and also freeing
written from your car
with a lunch sandwich

Plot what you must
but pants the rest
tell your story before
someone writes it insufficiency

Shame

Shame has been gentrified,
With turquoise blue applied,
And vended as candour.

On furlough forever,
It may return never,
A mere cosmetic feel.
