in the middle of the day. Jack sings
while I wrap gifts, get paint in my
fingernails, no fake colors here.
you talk about me as if
i can’t hear or read. follow or not.
do whatever pleases you.
i’ll be here, listening to the
same ol’ songs tapping my foot
any time of day. jumping
naked on the bed. bra flung
over your tie. panties
long gone (did i even wear
them?) did you forget
i write stories? i invent
scenes, acts, characters.
did you forget i have a
problem? label me
hypersensitive; crying over
everything you say about me.
i ignore for a second or two
and then i’m running
as usual, you say. don’t forget
to bring milk, you shout
as i grab my purse and keys.
you’re going out like that?
yeah, and fuck off.
fights, trash talk
bite me when i come back
with my bag of skim milk
and tight shorts.
you know you want to.
the drive, the music,
the wind made it
all better, don’t you see?
i came here for you
and i’ll leave here
in spite of you. and all
you say is you’re not
impressed with any of it.
sell my life away.
sell my thoughts.
my peach bra, my almond
eyes, sell it all like
a whore. isn’t that what you
think? i forgot to make supper,
i forgot your shirts at the
dry cleaners, but i remembered
how you touched me
while I was sleeping.

Striking and beautiful as always. Your poetry is so poignant and sharp, each word slices through a new section of the reader’s heart. I’m totally gripped by it until the end and then I want to read more. I would buy any book you wrote and recommend you to everyone.
wow thank you – humbled you’d say that – i haven’t written a poetry book (yet). but my ebook is out if you’re interested. you can find it on amazon or anywhere else – Crush
thanks
Chrissy –
Ah, okay, great!
and I rant a bit on twitter
Is Crush the only material I’d be able to get by you or is there more? I’m still doing a bit of research. I really want to follow your writing.
Yes, Crush is my ebook. I am kind of working on a poetry book but I’m also experiencing poetry on instagram
You should definitely look to publish. More people have to read this stuff. It really is professionally polished and gripping. I’ll follow you on your other accounts then

Oh how I absolutely love the emotional conflict and inner struggle. Once again your wit and sensitivity shine through in the biting edges of disappointment and intense desire.
Thank you beautiful friend xxx
