I gotta subscribe to zipship
A green utility pole covered in worn stickers near a street corner. Visible stickers read “LOOK UP ‘MK-ULTRA,’” “you are beautiful,” “zipship – UFOs when you need them,” and “volumesleep.” Cars and buildings are seen in the background at dusk.

West End in the autumn rain.
Leaf-covered autumn sidewalk under a yellow-green maple canopy, with a lone walker ahead between gnarled trees and a tall hedge.

Public library looking pretty. #newwest
A tree-lined sidewalk outside the New Westminster Public Library in autumn, with golden leaves covering the branches and scattered across the pavement beside a concrete and glass building.

“Backpropagated”

Form and spore

For #poemsabout #breakthemould

BACKPROPAGATED It started small - a bloom behind the chair, a bruise the colour thought might take when left alone. I told myself the walls were sound, the air was clear, that nothing learns unless it's given tone. A bruise the colour thought might take when left alone - it deepened, dream by dream, beneath the plaster. That nothing learns unless it's given tone, I said, as if instruction slowed disaster. It deepened, dream by dream, beneath the plaster. Each night, the house inhaled its own replies. I said, as if instruction slowed disaster, the damp was only weather in disguise. Each night, the house inhaled its own replies - a hum, a language softer than my breath. The damp was only weather in disguise, I thought - not knowing names for quieter death. A hum, a language softer than my breath, it whispered "You built me, I am yours." I thought - not knowing names for quieter death - that comfort was the sound behind closed doors. It whispered "You built me, I am yours." I told myself the walls were sound, the air was clear. That comfort was the sound behind closed doors - it started small, a bloom behind the chair.

Sunrise made the ships glow
Early morning view of anchored cargo ships reflecting an orange sunrise in calm waters under a dim blue sky, with faint shoreline and beach in the foreground.

Good morning, #newwest! How’s your day looking?
A quiet urban intersection at dawn in autumn, with a green traffic light, a few cars on the road, and a tall apartment building silhouetted against a glowing orange and blue sunrise sky. Streetlights are still on, and trees line both sides of the street. A calm, early-morning atmosphere.

“Inarticulate”

Just couldn’t get it out

For #PoemsAbout #Mannequin

@alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk
INARTICULATE Coat sealed in resin, ribs click shut. Mouth splits, no sound follows. Footsteps brush past. Door flares white. Beloved outline fixes frame, pins body between reach, retreat. One arm loosens. Shadow scars floor, half wing, half knife. Silence hardens. Her laughter picks at stitches. Behind lacquered ribs scream flares, blisters upward, dies chewing on roof of mouth.

Skaha long weekend. Now back to work for a rest! 😅
A climber’s perspective from a belay station partway up a rock wall. Their orange pants and climbing shoe are visible, along with ropes, slings, carabiners, and bolts securely attached to the rock. Below, small figures of people can be seen at the base of the cliff among trees. A climber wearing a helmet and teal shirt ascends a steep rock face. They are leading the climb, secured with a rope and carrying trad gear on their harness. One leg is extended high, pressing against the rock, while their hands search for holds. A landscape view from the side of a rock face, looking out over a dense pine forest with rolling hills in the distance. The sky is partly cloudy with light filtering through, giving a hazy, atmospheric effect. Close-up of the inside of a tent wall, covered in raindrops. The tent poles and seams create geometric lines against the damp fabric, showing condensation and rainfall outside.
