Resisting the Upgrade Treadmill

Do you remember life before the internet? When time moved differently, and a computer was just… a computer.It didn’t need to know who you were, didn’t ask for constant connection.You turned it on, and it was ready. Simple. Self-contained.There was a kind of peace in that honesty.These days, I notice how much noise has crept … Continue reading Resisting the Upgrade Treadmill →

Rainfall in the Quiet Hours

A cool strip of light slides across my arm, searching for the hidden path of a vein. I feel the gentle press of the needle, then only a soft pull, as if the earth itself has drawn back. In that quiet pause, I remember her last breath: the pale room where hope once lingered, machines … Continue reading Rainfall in the Quiet Hours →

Grief in the Body: The Ache for Closeness

Some lossesdon’t speak in words.They hum beneath the surface—in breath that catches for no reason,in the stillnesswhere your warmth used to live.It’s not even the heartbreakthat hurts the most.It’s the silencewhere you once were.The echo of your touchhaunting the edges of my skin.I miss the way being near yousoftened the world.The way your presencesteadied my … Continue reading Grief in the Body: The Ache for Closeness →

Ack’n’Can

Ack and Can I have tolerance,Nak just doesn't make sense.When my music is demonic,Maybe phonic,I sense something like mnemonic.Zero packet intolerance,Nak lacks moral intents,Why batch your zero packs,In rucksacks,Why it's right to ignore Naks.Are words so loaded,May as well be ghosted,Are words so bad,They make me sadThen make me mad?Explode all their futures,For your penny … Continue reading Ack’n’Can →

Unbearable

Thinking back through my lifeUnbearable experiences arise.Their memories jaded,Truth lost to the ages.No way to clarifyWhat I saw with my eyes,Only truth that remainsIs that I'm depressed again.Thinking to the end of my lifeUnbearable compassion must arise.Tomorrow's life is unlikelyTo awake alive but never lively.To my futureI will tutorReminders of the past.Keep rememberingThe sufferingOld age … Continue reading Unbearable →

Middle or centre?

How have your political views changed over time? Ultimately the centre never moves, only those that believe it inherently existed.There's no partisan, only blind belief in what the echo chamber says.Experts know nothing, devoured by our own opinion on what is ignorant to ignore.Idiots take charge, liars and thieves work behind the scenes.Our attention has … Continue reading Middle or centre? →

LOUDEST POEM I KNOW, so far

Do you need time? What a strange question,how do we have time?Is it even possibleto possess it,floating guff cloudof infinite demise!I popped in here,just for a second,then died.Did some personal stuff,not publishable,you know...Did some public stuff,nothing fancy,polite, lawful and kind.Didn't stick to the rules,I stopped making moneyfor fools.I slowly watchedas the rockets flew past,the darkness … Continue reading LOUDEST POEM I KNOW, so far →

Uncle Bert

Describe a family member. Back in the 80s I had a great uncle, in his 80s. He grumbled and muttered that he "may not be Buddha, but could try to act like one".He liked the Daily Star, right lefty but liked a good laugh. He saw world war 2, had a great time too, he … Continue reading Uncle Bert →
