Pink icing
squirls of chocolate
diet forgotten as greedy hands grab
mouth surrounds
dribbles on chin
tissues at ready
how much can we eat in one sitting
satiated
an empty plate
fatness spreading fast
feel it in the brain and the waist
hurry as fast as possible
the hall seems so long
watch the cake swirl around the basin
pink icing
squirls of chocolate
still tasted but not expanding now

Twisted Life

Today, something twisted inside me. I rarely check the news—it’s too depressing, and I can’t stop the horrors happening—but today, I did. First story: Syrians fleeing their homes. Next: free pancakes in Manchester. Pancakes and death, side by side. We’re immune now, aren’t we? Bombings, mass graves, murdered children, all […]

Two clicks

Oh, I added a plugin, all shiny and new, To count all the visitors coming to view. I clicked and I tinkered, set it up right, Then checked on the app—oh, what a delight! Two visits, it said, a number so small, “Surely more love me,” I thought, “that can’t […]
