“I found more than 30 anonymous poems. So many of them immediately struck me as being by women, about female themes, & written in a female voice. And I certainly wasn’t expecting to find lesbian love poetry”
—Ashley Douglas explores Marie Matland’s 16th-century Scottish sapphic verse

At the club the interviewer
buys me a rum & coke
and asks hi, you’re pretty, won’t you
go out with me? & I admire
his confidence, so I’m polite like no
sir, I’m so sorry, only
I don’t really eat on weekdays anymore...

CW: CW: fascism, genocide, dehumanisation, violence, death
I wrote a poem again.
And, well… this one crawled out of a considerably darker corner of the basement.
It deals with fascism, genocide, dehumanisation, violence, death, and some other subjects that really ought to come with a warning label and a small cup of tea. Hence the CW for this post...
I do like that poem. Quite a lot, actually.
Writing it was cathartic. Sometimes the things that fester in your head need to be dragged into the light, given a name, and made to sit quietly on the page instead.
Whether I publish it is another question.
I’m still deciding whether this particular little monster belongs in public, or whether it should remain locked in the cupboard where I keep the other things I write when the world gets particularly unbearable.
I'll give you one small look:
We are not your citizens.
We are not your subjects.
We are what you get
when the hunted grow teeth.What do you think?

Run!
In the opposite direction.
Here she comes.
Preaching the devil.
Oh, a new plague is spreading.
Harbingering death in the name of sapphism...

It’s late and my memory is fading
So late that I cannot recall
The reason for touching my pen to paper
To record this latest downfall
In the street below a shout echoes
A blurry swift noise of the night...

I was digging through my hard drive recently and came across this amusing oddity from January 2018, about my (ongoing) love affair with Pierce Brosnan. In true spirit of the open-mic format, try speaking out loud as you read this.

I couldn’t help it,
I was driven,
like a slave,
from her master’s whip.
It did not seem real,
Shame, beyond the pain...

Oh my God,
Why are we forsaken?
How often we pleaded
for peace and comfort,
love and understanding...

I did something I haven’t done before and recorded a reading of this poem. I don’t know if it sounds any good, but I think almost all work reads and sounds better when the author narrates it themself.
