a piece of me

it echoes inside
there
where you are meant to live

darkness
no lights but the porch
flickering, burning, waiting
a beacon
hopeful and hopeless

i will keep it warm for you
i will wander its halls
footsteps damp, salt in my wake
this home, not my home
our home
quiet, haunted
by what hasn't
by what may
by what may not

but it remains
there
space carved away years ago
the piece of me i gave
the light is on
map and guide
even if
even if you never
even if you never return
home

feel me

feel me

hear me

i am present

alive

willing

full of answers

full of questions

full of lies i never told you

desire coloured by

honesty at odds with

perception

worlds within worlds

within each other

without…

feel me

in, over, around, above

hear me

the taste on your tongue

the blood on your lips

before you i lie

posed repose

drawn and quartered

split between the lines

the silence

the remnants of

feel me

touch the raw chords of your making

hear me

the dissonant roar of your demise

Updates!

Sorry, things have been far too quiet on this blog. Mostly because I've been busy with writing related things but not in ways that I can show you yet! It's frustrating! And I've had a blog post on the back burner for a while, but between uni and taking on writing projects it's fallen through the cracks. Hopefully, I'll post stuff a bit more often when I need a break from the craziness.

But the good news is that by the end of the year, there will be a couple ways for you to get your hands on my writing that is Not This Blog. And probably far better than what is on this blog, since there will be editing and feedback and stuff. You can trust I'll be pimping the heck out of it once everything takes shape, but for now it's nose to the grindstone to get all the writing done.

I'm really excited about the subject matter of the projects I'm a part of. If you have any interest in mental illness or modern takes on fairy tales, you will love them too. (Unsubtle tease is unsubtle.)

Okay, back to work. Whee!
