i liked him, i loved him

i love the broken ones. i always have. the lonely the tired the shattered and battered. and when he asked me what do you want? i see, now, he meant of me, with the likes of HIM. as that confident mask slipped, as he entered MY world and said: this is wonderland and i want to stay forever. i let him see me. the real, … Continue reading i liked him, i loved him

a fateful reunion

i was not a pretty in pink princess yet, a brush with chance restored faith in my creativity as with all we may not escape. pulled from the chaos of that mind i ask which face? which breath shall i let you take from me? stoic destiny sealed our fate with tiny threads and lies we told ourselves. like those rough sketches you pinned to … Continue reading a fateful reunion

What happens when you mix black and white?

To write this requires the patience of Job without my keyboard, I’ll have you know. Spilt something on it a couple of weeks ago and fried it, so I have to use the touch keyboard app that came with the tablet. Excruciatingly slow typing with your thumbs, as my thoughts tumble out and I fumble across the screen to capture them. So I’ve been writing … Continue reading What happens when you mix black and white?

de la grande et la petite mort

I turned from my corner with my grief and my heart I knew as did you I could not take more. worn down like a litho stone are we. bare. we can not be. or what? more double rainbows from my tears? more drops of sadness pooling here between with you spilling your life all over my keyboard yet, I live I am alive and … Continue reading de la grande et la petite mort

We Were The Breakfast Club

You dropped me off that first day, and outside the annex was this group of punk rockers, with their Mohawks and ripped clothes, combat boots and attitude. Remember you turned to me and said: “If you come home looking like that, don’t bother coming home”. I think you were a bit shocked, as that was not how you saw artists. You wanted this for me, … Continue reading We Were The Breakfast Club

  • Of Superpower, Wealthy White Boys, Botox’d Stepford Poodles and Hope
    I think each of us has our own superpower. A thing we do with uncommon skill. It often, I’ve discovered, takes a good while to find, or accept, or understand, or feel. It’s different in everyone, how it manifests, and when. Often, or just as often, we are tricked into believing that our superpower is the thing we are maybe most known for. However, over …
  • Lessons on Resilience from Canadian Solidarity
    I’m an American citizen who grew up in Canada—because why settle for a normal childhood when you can have a frosty mix of hockey, maple syrup, and universal healthcare? My dad is American and my mom is Canadian. The one element that defines both families, is generations of ancestors in the same place, on the same land, going back to well before the founding of …
  • From Doomscrolling to Hope: A Journey Through Canadian Patriotism
    ... where I talk about having a mental space to vent, diving into thoughts on politics and the chaos in the land of my birth. Reflecting on American arrogance and the MAGA movement while contrasting it with Canadian values of unity and strength.
