A flash of orange, brown and black darts between the groaning trees Eyes wide in search of log or burrow to shelter from the violence of the rain Matted fur slick with wet the weary fox runs on and on, ahead a sheltered burrow Without thought he scuttled quickly underground body pressed against warm soil…

Escapril 2022: Limbs
Heavy breaths and limbs sprawl across the cut grass Breathy laughs and jabs exchange between bodies stretching, resting The race now over and exhaustion hits like an all-consuming blanket Weighted, each arm, each leg, each breath is pressing deeper into the ground Eyes closed, deep breaths, new strength is slowly found The marshal calls for…
Escapil 2022: A Seperation
The rumble of the rattling train washes out the stations frenzy as it pulls away This time apart will be short lived yet there’s a new ache I’ve not felt before The city fades from view shifting into rolling hills and pastures as the hours tick by I look at your last message, “travel safe,…
Escapil 2022: When I Opened My Eyes
Half-closed eyes blink away the evening’s sleep The day is half an hour off and our alarms are still silent I roll over and gaze at you in the quiet of pre-dawn Steadfast in your dreams I curl closer so I may hear them Lazily your arm wraps around my waist, wanting You press…

I spent days as a hollow shell Sorting through my memories Search for answers I could not see I spent weeks in a bath of my own tears Lost in endless backwards thoughts Questioning everything I’d ever done I spent months piecing myself back together Finding beauty in a broken mess I found a…
‘Death is Kind’ – A Poem
Death is kind and cruel when she decides it’s time, She brings enternal peace and heartache. Your pain is quickly whisked away, While theirs is just begining. Life gave you time to see things through, To dream, to laugh, to live. But even she cannot help you, When death decides it’s time. Accident or not,…
‘Witch’ – A Poem
All that glitters sure aint gold, Like the pitchforks coming down the road. All the fires, Burning, burning. You ordered the witch hunt, But you didn’t think they’d come for you. You ordered the witch hunt, But I only ever spoke my truth. Unlike you. I didn’t hide how I live my life, I’m an…
