April 12

Another day

My quarterly panic arrives
This season tied in with assignment angst
Student political fatigue and
Second job grief
I haven’t written creatively for what seems like a year
Nothing to say
Hypersomniac handwringer
In the past I’d run away
Disappear for a few months
Start a new life in a new town
But now I am loved
I am grounded
I’d throw myself at a wall
However, times have changed
So I set up a mental health self-referral

April 10

Pods and drawers

Estranged wedding stationery
Gel pens standing alone
Homepage cross-stitched owl
Fragmented postcard of Folkestone
Bijou mouse cut-out
Hemp body lotion
Holiday visits home
Nowhere to go
In my glitter scrunchie
Thank you
