Morning blue -
moon fading

i dream of sleep

i’m up
yet down
each bluesday muddies waters
middle of the night
left to my own devices
spinning in lost spaces
wrong from right
inside this empty shell
out-minded
looking in
with shuttered eyes
time’s rolling backwards
always then
now sleep
no now
in time I might

i keep seeing
confirmation bias
everywhere i look

beautiful!

a wood fire burns

i lit a homefire
just for me
flames shadow-dancing
wind-catch roars
my mournful gaze
finds comfort here
alone
alone no more

wow! the murrcat of morlin moor!

alienation the modern way of life :/

such a beautiful write!

Close u of stigma and marigold petals.

Does the stigma stick?
Hooked to combing roving feet,
Sweet dreams Marigold.

Tales told of youth and karma,
While we long for days warmer.

Cassiopeia: The Anthology Chapbook, Jan-Dec 2025, with calligraphic "Thank you" across a diamond painting of a galaxy in blues, purples, and greens. This picture comes from a diamond painting I made hanging on my wall. It reminds me of the piece I wrote on pointilism, how each little dot comes together to create a grander piece of art. Symbolically, I see each of us as one of those beautiful little dots. Each of us unique among our differences and similarities, yet when we all come together to stand for something we believe in, we help create something that will outlive us. Quite literally on this piece, given that diamond paintings are made from plastic. But here we are, instead of infecting water systems, we announce what we believe in by showing it up on a wall as poets, artists, creators, and witnesses to the world around us. I know that my Cassiopeia project is way too long for everyone to read fully. I was okay with that because I still wanted to give myself permission to be as prolific with my poems as I wanted to. Historically women have been deprived of education, freedom of speech, and publication. So with this project I wanted to give myself permission, and thereby extend it to everyone else who has ever felt silenced, to be as grand as I wanted to be. But I also knew I wanted to put together a chapbook that's shorter and designed for the people who inspired me so much over the course of creating this ambitious project. So this chapbook is a gift to you, the one or two people who are reading this alt text lmao. I hope you enjoy <3

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone for how incredibly supportive you've been!! 💖 I'm excited to finally be able to release this chapbook I put together as a gift to you. A thank you gift to the #poetrycommunity, all the poets and prompters. Please read alt text for more info.

twisted shadow
of your deeds
sinks through the earth

quick quick
gotta lead some thing!
before it's .. oh.

viscerally energising!

yes you are.

wow what a cool connection!

avoiding somnambulance
party in head
whirling twirling and swirling
spun out though i lie here in bed

i hear that
i feel that
from deep in my bones
i’ve a skeleton in me
a-stepping
while zombie friend groans

he’s short, and thin
stale bread unleavened
holed up in the tin

so well-hidden
he can’t find it
winter’s dome unclear

made of straws
is my foolish head
only a bale-full of brane
