Surgery is a privilege
for the skinny, a size eight;
only the thin
deserve to be healthy.
So go away,
lose some weight
and then we’ll consider
fixing your problem
to make your life
more bearable.
Fiction and poetry writing, recapturing the muse.

The endless cycle
of good intentions,
forcing your body to
its limit
then the guilt of
illness and losing
all the progress
you had accomplished.

My companiable ornament
who has touched my flesh
more than my favourite clothes.
Would you really betray me
by breaking and forcing
me to part with
a comfort I can no longer
feel nestled
near my heart?

Bunny butt of happiness,
twitching nose of content,
eyes full of love
and certainty
as you stroke his fur
and watch him
dissolve into
the sofa.
23:38
A mighty feeling
of belonging
is rare and to be
cherished.
Marvel at its power,
embrace it,
and never
let it leave.
Never grow lost
again.

Emergency packet
for the lazy,
because we don’t
want to encourage
you to breed
we will always
supply your
medicated needs.

Date night,
where we always
seem to choose
the task that
forces us in silence
and unable to
see the other,
enjoying the dark
and distraction
but still feeling
your hand
in mine.
I can show you my world
where madness reigns
and sense is lost.
Principles or
hard-earned convenience
is a choice you must make.
Either way you’ll live
with the anxiety,
waiting for the
consequences.
Almost a stone lighter
yet no one has noticed,
the change
too subtle over too long
a time means
any achievement
is blended with
the ordinary,
and ignored.
