I've worked in factories, hospitality, cleaning, until my knees and mind went 😅 living a much quieter life, posting stuff I write/make. Irish poet living in Glasgow, I make collages! Just doing my best to help anywhere I can to support artists/activists 💚

So, for context, for any new folks, I'm pretty much self-taught in everything, not here for profit, just hoping to inspire others if possible, share others' talent when I can. The poems I'm sharing from books I've since taken off amazon in protest. Just gonna throw it all out here for free.

With a problem to
Solve, a challenge for the mind,
Peace through pieced puzzles.

Stratospheric shag,
Rotations around Saturn,
Climax in orbit.

Bountiful, burgeoning bliss,
The world in a kiss.

Erupting from our
Humanity's united
Voices, a huge roar.

It's so hard

(sometimes)

to let go
of jealousy
entitlement
insecurity
to be present
to be thankful

(often)

to be content

with imperfection

Horrors unmeasured
Cold dead eyes, that frozen smile
A doll in the dark.

Yes we all matter, it all #matters
Then why must words be so cruel
Suspicion resting on our souls
Seen and unseen
Every dot every dash
Like morse code
Every taste every smell
A smile an ouch
Every sound every bit of silence
Yes yes we all matter, it all matters

Slaving in cubes for
a man far away

Lives ticking down each
double-click of the day

Numbers go up; and
homeward we track

To one-click the #health
from another guy's back.

Here’s one for today’s #vss365
Someone You are someone because the storm gathers and still you stand. Because another's sorrow moves through you and you don't turn away. Not for what you say, but for how you listen, even when you don't know how. You are someone in the weight of a glance that refuses to let another fall. Someone, not for what you might become, but for what you already are when the weather breaks and you remain, steady, unhidden. You matter. Flawed, yes. Unfinished, always. But unmistakably here.

#whistpr #MURMURATION

There has been an aberration
A disturbance in the force
A great movement of the earth
We can see changing patterns
We can feel footfalls in the dirt
We can feel our time is ending
The birds tell the bees and they tell us
All things everywhere all at once
Our final murmuration

Not Rooted
In a field lies the remains of a giant of yesteryear.
A story is revealed by what they held dear within their roots.
To know their story in full, look above, around and beyond.

And amaze, faded sign of
Creaking carnival.

Before sputtering out in

Cat lays her weary head down

So containable.
