Gulping down mouthfuls of red wine and half-pills my half-truths I am sleeping with a red rock in my bed I put it on my chest at night so maybe I’ll feel crushed. There is blood in the water now. You say you see a sadness in my eyes that others miss, and I remember standing in the sea, and wonder if you could have seen it then. or when I drove through the night screaming to return home with hushed smile 
You remind me of the time I stole 1000 origami cranes strung together by a needle through the abdomen. tiny birds of hope, destined for those in need. But, hope is just a hook for gaping mouth the cranes died scattered across my teenage bedroom floor. we don’t belong in the air we belong in the sea. Now I’m swimming between red flags.

(Published in Chaleur Magazine) Before the war. Before your mother told you where to hold the shame in, you held your stomach softly. Before all the women touched it, called it cute before all the men touched it, called it sexy, leaving imprints on your skin handprint after handprint oppressive indentations until there wasn’t any room left. Until it wasn’t yours anymore. Before you left because of the crowding Before they weaponised your body against your mind. Before you learned to weaponise your own body too. My body was not a weapon. My body was not a weapon. My body is not a weapon. Before they laced your drip with compliments an IV line of external validation before they turned you into an addict before they turned you into an artwork before “American beauty” taught you to objectify women and, fetishise litter. Before the linen blindfolds wysteria hysteria pissing contest - lawn watering. Before they turned you into an aesthetic before they turned you into a problem before they filled your mind with specific descriptions on what is and isn’t good enough about you, and you watched as time clawed away at your self worth. before you learned to hate your body you held your stomach softly. All rivers lead to the sea. (Published in ia literary journal) Forests for me, have always been a symbol of death.&nbsp; I walked to the top of the hill and I wept.&nbsp; A sea of grief, stretching out in all directions smothers everything.&nbsp; It’s salt mirrored on my cheeks, and did I cry a whole ocean? She tells me the salt in our tears will heal our eyes. It’s so much bigger than I am. It’s so much bigger than I am. It’s so much bigger than I am. I hear the sky growing lighter towards the horizon, and I am looking at a fine white line the glowing ethereal lie binding two lovers. Fishing line strangled the earth. Ko wai au? I am the ocean. Ko au te moana, ko te moana ko au. I hear water carved arteries ‘cross curved landscape, and that didn’t stop Maui tearing her body outwards to bite of frozen air. not vast enough to hold her! in the safety of its embrace? and if it couldn’t hold her than how can it hold us? and if it couldn’t hold us than how can it hold me? down.&nbsp; I hear time heals all wounds, and as the banks of my veins flood I sit quiet, watch. waiting for the current to wash us all away. Ko wai au? I am the river. Ko au te awa, ko te awa ko au. Rivers, pinkened by the touch of Rangi stretch outwards in front of me great resting limbs pointing home. and, in this forest I hear no birds. I am listening to find my way, to the thudding against rocks. I will curl up inside the oceans great lung. I am a thud between heart and rib. The forest loops back, and back, and back, tangles underfoot.&nbsp; Blackened roots gasping for air. Tree roots melt to sea of black. I float, gazing upwards waves gently licking eyelids. Skin melts too, and I am the sea. This is the blackening of the mind. I am the wave. I am the infinite black. I am the salt in your veins. Here is stillness. The earth turns, moving me inwards towards the light. Tangaroa looks back at me from hard earth, tears on her cheeks. Waterboarding. (Published in A Fine Line Magazine)

Sensitive skin from my daddy. it’s showing on my face in a house where everything burns we don’t know how to do anything&nbsp; but disintegrate It’s showing on my hands.&nbsp; what were you thinking&nbsp; when you&nbsp; carved me into this&nbsp; lover&nbsp; this feeler&nbsp; this hurter&nbsp; of everything.&nbsp; It’s showing on my feet&nbsp; what were you thinking&nbsp; when you&nbsp; carved me into this&nbsp; day dreamer&nbsp; night thinker soul chaser&nbsp; How do you do it?&nbsp; How do you keep everything&nbsp; inside your body the way you do?&nbsp; Oh surrogate womb, I crawl into her&nbsp; clothing and&nbsp; meander around&nbsp; pretending to inhabit&nbsp; this flesh you created Tell me&nbsp; I’m good at being honest&nbsp; now teach me&nbsp; how to do anything else?

 A few years now they’ve visited me&nbsp; in my darkness as it shines through my eyes I hear them and like a chasm I hear you breathing Still I am Infinite I am a fountain of loose ends They are about as real as anything is in my mind. Sleepless rumours, gossipers of divinity, and always,&nbsp; and always, I hear birds sing at night. I am a soul too big for a body in a body too big for this mind. This is just a slow turn&nbsp; towards the sun when I will be&nbsp; too busy eyes closed filling my collarbones&nbsp; with dejected hair too hear them. be ground be crumble be ground be crumble, be crumble. I am a pillar of pain. I am the fat cheeks&nbsp; of creative expression. I crouch in restful darkness moonlight shadow and let street light strips paint my skin. I am&nbsp; trying&nbsp; to fill my soul with the fruitfulness of life as solitude sings its lullaby and I try to make peace with the dread of birdsong. I am&nbsp; waiting for&nbsp; a silent nod to show her its time. 
 Tall poppies. (Published in Salty and Overcommunicate Magazine) Tall poppies&nbsp; get their red heads&nbsp; lopped off.&nbsp;And, maybe they deserve it?&nbsp; I want to be like long grass, and lie low with you until our energies sync. Even cut down it smells like honey, and wears it’s bareness like a brand new suit.&nbsp; I've seen you do the same. Hold still until the the grass grows through you&nbsp; your ego decomposes, and flowers come up where you lay. My body’s been bathing in salt water for so long now I’m afraid my soul’s dissolved. Your carelessness makes me hate myself a little.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; (Published in Haunts).&nbsp; You; Drape your underwear over the lampshade, a flag on a post we mustn’t raise. We both know we are blinded. You tell me it’s to create mood lighting, but I think you only want to paint the parts of me the light lands on. Me; with my nails too sharp for my hands and my teeth too sharp for my mouth. I have been watering myself down for too long. My stretched out skin became so thin that it is becoming translucent. My tabletops were all rice fields. I worked until the canvas was sodden, and I drowned in the mud. We; lay down in the colours I muddied. I hold on tight to the plug in my puku. Keep water out by holding pressure on the wound. Tomorrow I see my watercolour paper skin, stretched out over my thighs dry and burning in morning sunlight. and, my teeth too sharp for my mouth and my nails too sharp for my skin. Debris. (Published in Oscen) All you have to do is squeeze&nbsp; the littlest bit pressure mounding in your fingertips.&nbsp; The shell cracks open. Shatters, glass into flesh bone between teeth&nbsp; salvage what you can.&nbsp; Everyone you know lying scattered&nbsp; ghosts from a past life. There is a genocide on your kitchen counter paw through the debris. Life is reductive. (Published in Sisterhood Magazine) Every morning I wake up my fingers grasp at endless sheets of silk scrunching them down tightly into a trivial pocket probably that of a businessman or of ‘Cotton On’ jeans, too tight for any body to fit into. A real feat of mans design simultaneously serving up your flesh like a rump steak with hollandaise, and punishing you for having one. A steak, or a body. And, the pocket isn’t real either woman don’t need to carry things they just need to look good You know it’s bad when you find yourself alone in the dark at night pouring spoonfuls of dry nutritional yeast into your mouth because even though you’re 27 and meet about 4 out of 5 of the recommended requirements of being an acceptable human being, you still don’t believe you deserve to eat Whip me across the face with the side of your tailored suit jacket as you pass me by babe. LISTEN, I just want to love without restraint. Listen, that includes myself. I tried to self-love but who needs roses when you can eat Turkish delight for breakfast, bathing in white powdery self-loathing. Sugar is the worst kind of white powder because at least cocaine makes you thin. Real life is when you lie in bed to listen to the rain pouring but all you can hear is your cat licking itself. and, when you can no-longer tell the difference between genuine self-esteem and maladjusted coping mechanisms Is there one? and, me trying to figure out if I can make your name rhyme with cunt. I don’t want to need you I just want to want you and when did we decide that needing someone was romantic? I’m always looking through binoculars backwards and this is the light that stains the back of my eyes It’s there when I try to close them it starts when it starts. Engrained by florescent hospital lights a frequency only woman see when we weren’t clear enough in saying “No” to exiting the womb. Life’s cattle-prod. God’s branding stick Eve really fucked up by succumbing to her temptations. We are born but with strings attached. You can fuck the puppet master but he still won’t give you your freedom he might just let you hold the spoon. To sleep with curtains open. (Published in Salty) Can you tell that I am only nibbling at the threads of life? Crowds of glass people and everything in this house is crooked. You speak of your suffering with such sovereignty I consider that if we are 60% water I might be 60% tears. Tell me does my voice give or take from this? Sometimes my soul sheds its bones and the earth keeps turning on without me I am a figment of my own imagination Sometimes all I see are atoms blending and vibrating in the trivial nothingness of everything With you humility is a verb, and I feel it in my puku. You tell me to sleep with curtains open to let the moonlight in and I do. I miss my skin. (Published in Salty) I miss my skin. Winters deep oppression has reduced us to mere acquaintances. My Mind got the memo and the memo said; “busy yourself. “ Your skin doesn’t want you here anyway. My skin got the memo and the memo said; “bury yourself.” Weighted blankets for weighted minds. My soul got the memo and the memo said; “hide” I’ve become a disembodied head with severe attachment issues. I want to rip off all the layers, and show you my insides. I want to bare it all to the sun as it licks me down like a lover telling me my insecurities are stupid. I want to sit cross-legged naked, and flip the bird at anyone who thinks I’m indecent. I want to write letters that say; “I miss you, can we be friends again?” like a wise child, and hear a familiar “Yes” instead of “seen, 8:21am” Mum. Last night we watched home videos some with my old childhood dog he had to have melanoma cut out of his white fur. Years passed, and still he was left with a patch bare, fur-less skin where they’d shaved him down a constant reminder of his affliction his body, not quite able to repair itself entirely. And four years after she left us we stand still, a pack of dogs with bare skin. Fig season. (published in Anthropozine) The atmosphere has changed here, and&nbsp; the air has cooled.&nbsp; I am noticing how easily&nbsp; this new breath fills my&nbsp; white&nbsp; cicada lungs, and&nbsp; I am noticing where&nbsp; this earth has softened.&nbsp; Rain poured through us, and&nbsp; took with it&nbsp; everything in its wake.&nbsp; There is space here now. 
 I can see&nbsp; the cool blue earth&nbsp; much more clearly with its white bell flowers, and&nbsp; I can feel the icy lick&nbsp; of oxygen running&nbsp; through my insides, like&nbsp; the tension in my puku&nbsp; that I will no longer keep&nbsp; a home for.&nbsp; I’m not saying that I&nbsp; haven’t adored&nbsp; the shelter of these&nbsp; full green arms that have been here&nbsp; for so long now, but&nbsp; as they wither, and&nbsp; fall softly too,&nbsp; by the earths gentle tug&nbsp; I will not fear&nbsp; winters cold light&nbsp; as it bleeds&nbsp; through bared branches. 
 I am noticing,&nbsp; the smell of pregnant earth. The way it&nbsp; fills my bones with birdsong,&nbsp; as the dirt sings back&nbsp; Into the thudding of my feet. 
 I dream of spider, like fig&nbsp; flesh squeezed open watch her pinkened arms spread&nbsp; watch her bloom under the pressure&nbsp; They keep her in a small&nbsp; tuppaware container they say; “She really comes into her own around me,&nbsp; you just have to let her “&nbsp; I am handed the small prison, but&nbsp; I fumble, drop it&nbsp; tuppaware falls open, and&nbsp; the spider blooms early. 
 I am beginning to feel&nbsp; the earths pull once more&nbsp; as it turns&nbsp; and I turn with it,&nbsp; pulling me down&nbsp; into its womb. 
 I couldn’t tell you&nbsp; when I started&nbsp; eating rotten peaches for breakfast&nbsp; but Autumn has arrived, and&nbsp; the figs have ripened. 
 Let me rest in the mud now. There is an intimacy&nbsp; between this earth and I, will not just be a visitor here. I will return&nbsp; again and again&nbsp; hand twisted round umbilical cord pulling myself&nbsp; outward&nbsp; and, inward. One collective breath&nbsp; oh, white cicada lung. 
 and in the distance&nbsp; I see light between my fingertips.&nbsp; You returned, but backwards with your eyes closed. I can tell it’s you&nbsp; by the way you close the door.&nbsp; You close it softly. Black dust in a shell.

I can still see their tips peeking over the walls of your casket, from the doorway where I stood hardened in apprehension. We throw you into the wind. It is inconceivable someone like you, could ever be reduced

Dance around it&nbsp; like a&nbsp;melodramatic totem pole.&nbsp; Here’s to dancing around the point. I&nbsp;should have been sleeping&nbsp;but, I was too busy&nbsp; watching curves of soft flesh&nbsp; carved into shadows on the wall. They move when I move.&nbsp; They dance when I dance. It’s hard to feel lonely&nbsp;when&nbsp; you&nbsp;contain&nbsp; the whole universe.&nbsp; I sit in darkness and eat&nbsp; tomatoes. Whole,&nbsp; omega plums. Two kiwi fruit&nbsp; Three mushrooms&nbsp; Eat the skin.&nbsp; Eat the core.&nbsp; Do not waste&nbsp; one single speck of life each cell made of the tears Rangi, the blood of Papa, the energy of the sun.&nbsp; 
I eat like the hungry caterpillar.&nbsp; I feel like the hungry caterpillar. Insatiable.&nbsp; Transitional.&nbsp; Body disintegrating. Imaginal cell goo. He told me I was 99% fruit. She nods heedfully and says “that makes sense.” 
“You are what you eat.” &nbsp; The flesh bursts open. I am ripening in the moonlight. If fruit bled, then it bleeds&nbsp; down my naked chest &nbsp;&nbsp; it’s cool touch reminding me&nbsp; my body is still here.&nbsp; loyal companion,&nbsp; the original bosom buddy It hasn’t left me yet.&nbsp; Do not waste one single speck of life each cell made of the tears Rangi the blood of Papa the energy of the sun.&nbsp; 
She told me&nbsp; my body&nbsp; can never leave me.&nbsp; That makes sense.&nbsp; Tied to my mind like a Peter-pan shadow.&nbsp; Shackled at the ankles,&nbsp; I guess the earth is stuck here too. Some chains can’t be fixed&nbsp; but others just can’t be broken. I can’t put a gold star of David on this one.&nbsp; I can’t validate it with pen on government issued paperwork.&nbsp; All I can do is beat my feet&nbsp; raw into the earth&nbsp; and let its&nbsp;hard embrace heal all wounds.&nbsp; Papa throws her arms up&nbsp; envelopes me&nbsp; and dances around&nbsp; her ripened fruit.&nbsp; My body&nbsp; a melodramatic totem pole. The beetroot heart sits&nbsp; and watches me. He’s never seen fruit&nbsp;like this&nbsp;before. Seeds in the gutter. (Published in Salty) This morning the birds sang, and they broke my heart again. today, and everyday. I’m not sure why I keep letting them, staring lovingly in their direction thinking sing you beautiful darlings! I’ve come up with some very elaborate ways to self-harm. Tonight I’m picking wild daisies, and dreaming of intimacy between wilted flowers and evergreens. Sugar rush (Published in Salty) My heart is like when you’re a kid and you eat too much sugar and vomit everywhere.
