"Once death comes for her captain
a boat’s heart is filled with sorrow.
From the pitiful grief that follows
no-one’s immune: whatever you own,
even little boats sailing alone, out at sea
is a hazardous, hard place to be."
--Christine de Pisan, trans. Jane Draycott

I Still Have Bad Days
They don’t mean I’m failing.
They mean I’m human with history.
I stop catastrophizing the dip.
I let it pass through.

Poems do often vex me
Yet try I still will

I touch your hand
somewhere
the sea rises
what a thrill
to stir the moon

Posting my poetry publicly for the first time really, on here and TikTok. 🫣 I'm still getting my voice down.

passion wets my palate
my appetite
savours the sensation
a bite—
sent my tastebuds buzzing
