Twinkle, twinkle

You shine oh so brightly Then inevitably begin to flicker Sometimes fade away And wink out Not even bothering To leave an after-image On the dark expanse That once scintillated As our worlds collided Perhaps it's time To stop looking up In hopeful awe And pay attention To my worn and tired feet Before they…

I’d have stood up

I'd have stood up for them As you spouted and vomited Your vile dogmatic untruths I'd have stood up for them As you intentionally sliced and tore Into the most vulnerable and gentlest of spots Never a weakness, no I'd have stood up for them/him As you bullied Your incomplete cowardly form Across the tight…

International Cat Day

Miaow, earthlings! Today's apparently the day to celebrate cats around the world. My familiars, Lex and Anaïs, sitting on a camping chair covered in a blue and white cotton cloth Now, I no longer have feline familiars--I had to surrender Lex and Anaïs to a shelter in Knysna a year ago as my circumstances got…

Love under supremacy

How to love despite? Is it to love because of?
