This guardian of the potato field, fully clothed amid the criss-crossed history of harvest.
Stray spuds scattered in ridges, impressed with heavy tyre tracks, a second picking.
A gift of abundance in a world of plenty where millions go without.

I am a poet. My first publication was in 2018. Iโve been consistently published ever since, but am yet to find a publisher who wants to give me a contract. Also, I am a digital native and have been posting online since the days when Usenet was where all the Internet Drama took place. Weโre coming up for thirty years online. I am here, thinking on a daily basis from now on. I have committed to this space as mine going forward, until some idiot billionaire fucks this up too... It's a place for talking, as I appreciate that many people do not want to have my work in their Inbox. So, I will share my work here and you have the option to consume as you wish. A few caveats: no meme accounts no repost only accounts engage with me first respect my caveats This has been a long time coming: I am 58, have two adult children and am a happily married bisexual. If youโre still reading at this point, you deserve all the plaudits for doing so. #transrightsarehumanrights
I'd appreciate it if anyone notes any glaring typos in this to nudge me.
Otherwise, this will do for now.

Please read our latest update.
@ccohanlon.bsky.social and his wife Given are in need of support as he recovers from his recent surgery.
They need somewhere to stay outside of EU. A sanctuary. If you can help we'd be very grateful.

Weโre looking for a temporary (two months) refuge/cheap rental outside the EU from early October. Iโm undergoing further medical stuff this week and unlikely to be fit enough to return to sea.
Open to anything/anywhere, on this side of the Atlantic.

It's always easier not to think for oneself. Find a nice safe hierarchy and settle in. Don't make changes, don't risk disapproval, don't upset your syndics. It's always easiest to let yourself be governed.

He and his wife Given need to fly to Rome to see a specialist urgently rather than risk his condition worsening on a 220 nautical mile sea passage.
