Read my Poem “A Junkyard Father” Published on Altered Reality Magazine
Hello again! I recently had a trifecta of luck at Altered Reality with some poems, and this is my second one that was picked up for publication by them.
This week the poem is a little different than my previous one. No haunted forest or paradoxical monsters.
Instead, I choose to focus on an image that has haunted me ever since I watched it. The toy scene in Bladerunner (director’s cut of course) in Sebastian’s attic has stuck with me ever since I watched it back in 2004. I often wonder what would those cybernetic creations do if Sebastian never returned.
Who would take care of them?
In “A Junkyard Father” I follow this same idea and principle. A scientist has created sentient toys in some robotic future, and he is confronted with the concept of mortality. When he dies and leaves this world, they’ll be nobody to take care of them. The toys will outlive him, and still require maintenance. He’ll die when they could potentially live for centuries.
How will they cope? Who will be there?
You can read “A Junkyard Father” right here.
As always, you should check out the whole of Altered Reality. They publish great stuff from a variety of voices.
Thank you for reading my work, and have a nice Wednesday!

This poem really pinpoints how I feel writing horror, and how it relates to my family and historical trauma. Give it a read. It is a lot for me to process. It'll take a lifetime, I suppose.

Just read some speculative poetry (fantasy / sci fi / horror) and I will say, i still have no idea what makes them speculative. Unlike the fiction side, there aren’t the structures of genre to fall on.
Most of them could have easily been lit poetry (oh that word), it isn’t like poets are normally adverse to the dark, the fantastic or the what-may-be.
