Working on my Poetry.
I don’t feel overly confident about my most recent work of poetry. It’s longer than my usual lot, and will hopefully form the centre of my supposed book, capturing why I started writing, but also the idea of needing attention and how we as humans seek it. I’m going to give the initial 8 or 10 poems to those I trust the most with them for a read, just to see if I’m on the...

I stand atop the void with the particle form filling an empty memory. I’m here - indifferent, but here, and my sigh is made of sharp, over-blown glass. “There’s pale remorse, there’s pointless discourse. I’m simple but I’m trying regardless.

Must.
I look to the sea, and I see no justice, Please, Please Stay. I remember my mind, and i mind myself, Please, Please Stay. I depict innocent pictures, and picture awful loss, Please, Please Stay. I harness my duties, my duties are right, Please, Please Remain. ——- For unwritten covenant, and love lost love, I Must, I Will, I Must. For causes not followed, and company not...
