in progress: poem Do you ever share your works in progress?

Wrote a little poem. Work in progress I suppose. open.substack.com/pub/millieki...

“11/25/25👺ICE abducts two Americans; eight hospitalized after chemical munitions & police beatings in St. Paul, MN. This is not public safety-it’s state violence” Hart ‘28 Dem 🇺🇸🙏

Winter landscape. Buildings and trees covered in snow. Has a gray tone.

The way the heavy snow clasps the trees. This first snow.

re: yes, i know i can’t catch a break through an error on the state's part that i am currently in the process of appealing (ugh), i am potentially ineligible for health insurance for the rest of the year. if it sounds like i'm panicked, you're right; i take a medication that i very badly need to survive and it's about $450 with goodrx ($1400 without). big pharma woes aside, i need more meds soon and have no way of paying for them. here's where you (maybe???) come in. you have a poetry chapbook manuscript. you want feedback on it. i will do that for the low price of $50 per manuscript for up to 9 people to offset the cost of this prescription. poetry (and prose poetry) only. up to 40 pages, hard cap. please EMAIL me to secure your spot (no dms).

tl;dr i am offering up to 9 people a very cut-rate manuscript consult to pay for vital prescription drugs

word choice As a poet, I agonize over word choice.

A piece about word choice. Pretty obvious of me

I'm at work right, busily trying to organize a bunch of school kids and their adults, when a random woman comes up and taps me forcefully between my shoulders on my upper spine for attention. By nature, I don't touch people. I certainly don't touch them violently in fairly intimate places.

bitter pills, chewn It's really easy for me to wallow.

Have not slept yet. Must work anyway.

I'm growing out my hair cuz I wanna have hair to my butt. It's down to the middle of my shoulder blades but it's wavy curly and kinda goofy so it looks like it's about shoulder top length.

Thank you to @clmporg.bsky.social for including poems from beestung in this year's #NAHM reading list!

Relatable line.

Looking for ways to eat better. Anyone with both ADHD time blindness (forget to eat) and binge eating? I have no hunger cues. Also no fullness cues. So I either don't eat at all or overdo it. Heh.

I haven't been the one to call at 3 am in a few years and now I have no one to call at 3 am.

Graham Greene has passed away at the age of 73

Isolating gave me a lot of time for thinking. Grieving. And working.

Submitted a manuscript to a thing.

I've been so sick lately. Not like any distinct illness that fits neatly into a box and can be treated. Just ailment after ailment. Struggling and afraid of my own mind and body. Nightmarish.

Editing something, who wrote this garbage?

Me? Crap.

Been holed up inside myself. Writing. Making pickles.

​A racist white woman raises $500K+ from fellow racists after she calls an autistic Black child the N-word. But I thought they couldn’t afford eggs?🤔 This is part of a disturbing pattern of a system that isn’t broken—but sadly working as intended.
