  1. This is old forest land.
    There is no forest here any longer.
    On the scars that are roads
    All things blur at speed.
    In the houses that were hollows
    On the hills between nature’s majesties
    Life is hollow, white plaster echoes
    Where greenery was, and Goethe’s
    Summits of oak and ash and fir.

    This is not even the #semblance
    Of a wood, not one hundred acres,
    Not one acre, not one square inch,
    Between the bungalows of pride
    And their paved drives and flooding
    Days.

  2. You cut me to my core
    when you malign my poetry

    It lacks polish obviously
    and often strays
    from any #semblance
    of coherent thought
    but it's my frickin therapy, OK?

    The only true outlet I have
    cause booze makes me puke
    and meds are just too much expense

    So if you think my verse is that bad
    I would greatly appreciate
    if you'd kindly shut up
    and proceed to fuck off

  3. "Some semblance..."
    My mother would say,
    Channelling her past
    Latching on to a colloquialism of upbringing,
    Attaching to an identity that she once left behind.
    "Some semblance..." she gestures to the room,
    Her accent thickening to rekindle history,
    Her father's voice in her head
    "Some semblance..."
    She dismisses her failures, denies her mistakes.
    Some semblance of herself.
