Again, another
fight to visualise
who is in charge;
sameness and impossibility
interrupt the signal fusing
some me to not-you,
cutting the watch party
short. I rise to leave;
[and briefly: there, one
speaking down another's
throat, flipped over
and falling through,
smudging the lens, touching
a now against a then,
hair lassoing teeth, eating
features in a smoothing-over
of consequence, a clawing,
a plea to have the power for longer,
seeking the mirror of one eye
to meet the other - to trick
ourselves into thinking
we are the only ones
possessing infinite perspective]
I hate the analogue lull
of a large death
I am yet to know](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:p4r2ldh65jze7l2kzspxo4rp/bafkreibpzykxes2q5f3bjirrnlc5jla372p3atos54fd4q7i5z7xn6ve7i@jpeg)
hello! back here briefly to pin some end-of-year stuff
- poem in Icarus 76.1 (issuu.com/icarustcd/do...)
- poem in Propel's 2025 anthology, originally in Issue Fifteen (www.propelmagazine.co.uk/shop2/p/anth...)
there's a range of really impressive work in each (and a look at Icarus is free!)

rewatching peep show. remember when accidentally making friends with someone who shows themselves to be a raging fascist felt beyond of the realm of possibility, and how it was funny because it was such a wildly atypical, unfortunate, and therefore quintessentially mark corrigan thing

new poem out online with the Oxford Review of Books
felt when I wrote this I'd done something pretty different than my usual, slid into a more prosaic register, which was maybe the result of a little infusion of non-fiction. I liked the experiment! and I love octopuses

I am so tired
I‘m discontinuing my social media use for the foreseeable future and I want to explain why.
I woke up in the new year to discover that some guy on here had saved photos I took on New Year’s Eve and used Grok to remove my clothes. I know this because he showed me.

this is right but it makes me v sad as someone whose pipeline to Online ran via street style websites and random teenage girls posting pictures of their outfits on their blogs - I love looking at pictures of random people wearing nice things! I love posting pictures of myself wearing nice things!
If you're a normal person taking bathroom or makeup selfies bc you feel cute, you should just stop. Return to tradition, share it with your friends on group texts. Any public photo is now fuel for the Porn Machine.
If your career/hobby involves sharing pics of yourself, it just sucks.
