Fingertips curl tight.
Eyes narrow to a point.
Restraint thins quickly.
Outward calm misleads you.
Control is not my concern.
Impact speaks plainly.
Teeth bare without warning.
Yield, I do not.

It’s a fusion
Of colours
Like rainbows
And shadows
Grey and black
Specks of white
That work
Together

Setting alight
My imagination
Though pages
Of a book
Are black and white

My mind sees more
That’s how the magic works

Cold cuts you bloody
pushing you to the limits.
You're free soloing
unknown landscapes, barefoot kids
hooves bouldering upon sky.

Doctor: avoid the sun.

Me: okey dokey.

Also me at 6am: chasing the horizon with a #camera like it owes me money.

Table between chairs, knees meet
On the tabletop, knuckles brush
Under lamplight, a wrist turns, palm open
Closer, breath warms skin
Heartbeats settle into rhythm

Yeah, I hope so. I hate waiting to find out..

I sent in my complaint, including a photo comparing the initial proof (which was great) to the new batch. Now I wait.. ugh.
February 10, 2026 at 2:27 PM
ugh. the order of my limited edition illustrated short story arrived yesterday.. and there were errors (the printing company messed up!).

Damn.

words gather,
then hesitate.

meaning shifts,
just out of reach.

an #ache settles,
language shaped,
meant to land
without knowing.

Soft steps borrow the floorboards
Not seen is my favorite shape
Every pause opens a door
Air learns my outline
Kept quiet, I pass
