I dream of doing that more often again. I live in the middle of our country and miss the sea.

something simple sweet and a bit raw for
#PoemsAbout #Bites @thebrokenspine.co.uk

a list in the spirit of anne carson. been really into the simple pleasures of the everyday lately. and longing! can’t forget the longing

small bites with you

char-grilled oysters (down on the bayou) (someday) (soon) 
poetry (notes app) (sent back and forth) 
raw oysters (down the shore) (O the stars i’d sacrifice just to see you stand on jersey soil) 
warmth (full-bodied) (with fuzzy feeling)
playlists (spotify) (sent back and forth) 
bong rips (sputtering) (coughing) (laughing) (falling apart into the phone speaker)
listening (rapt) (leaning in)
talking (too much) (but you tell me it’s fine) (you mean it) (i feel it)
understanding (comes easy) (too easy) (almost feels impossible) (beautiful) (unreal)
love (of you and i and us and us) (and everything else too, babe) (all feels beautiful whenever i’m with you)
long drives (to you) (from you) (anywhere) (with you)
hugs (warm) (so needed) 
char-grilled oysters (soon) (please let it be soon)

So bad but good - my soon to be two year old grandson is this little person! We spend a lot of time trying not to laugh 🤭

@patriciajvs.bsky.socialOct 10, 2026, 1:44 PM

Love it. Powerful!

This is a beautiful poem - I could be standing by the sea as I read it!

Thank you Jen, I really appreciate your lovely comments. It brings back a picture of my Dad sitting down at night with his notebook, listening to the shipping forecast, noting everything down and working out whether the North Sea catches would be good or not.

This is brilliant. Thanks for sharing

Thank you so much. @johnchmura.bsky.social example has got me reading out loud, but not on here yet! I'm heading to an open mike night in a couple of weeks so I might take this one.

Crookes is definitely a place to be, I never got as far as I used it when I was going into uni as a mature student. Always worth going up to the top deck!

I will put a reading in the comments. Midnight here in New Jersey. I expect to be out and about during the day, so I may be s little slower playing catchup.

THEM BONES

suggestive of cannibalism
bones have been found in caves
broken and gnawed by our neolithic ancestors

pseudo-christian white nationalist politicians
have been found in congress gnawing bribes
suggestive of economic cannibalism

ted cruz craves a “mexican on monday”
slurping blood from undocumented calvaria
on the tailgate of an unmarked ford explorer

mike johnson who nibbles knuckles
under his desk behind a locked door
claims he “doesn’t know anything about that”

cinnabar stained bones found in certain strata
suggest deliberate caretaking
and ritual ceremony

shitty grifters smeared with trump diaper slime
licking their greedy fingers suggests that
dc is unceremoniously drowning innocents
@patriciajvs.bsky.socialOct 9, 2026, 11:05 AM

Cinnabar stained bones.... Powerful and hits the nail exactly!

@patriciajvs.bsky.socialOct 9, 2026, 11:01 AM

Like Mike, I've been on both sides of this fence and am still on one as a grandparent. Totally reflects so many families' daily experience.
