A stuck story is like a baby who does not want to be born; keeping you in a long painful state of labour. Now I understand what Maya Angelou meant when she said, 'There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.'

It's a Promise
It’s a Promise
I promise, I understand how you feel. I get it! Like the tears on a wine glass, Reluctantly trickling back into the chalice You are drowning In your own glory, In your own being, In a time that is forgone, In everything that makes you – you. I promise, I wish I could stretch my hand, Far enough to pull you out, But the tears … they are so stubborn, So possessive, So guarded, Only their owner can…

Euphemisms For Death
You died. I could not say it, I could not write it; I told them, ‘She’s gone’, Then I said, ‘She left us’, But that made it your fault. So I settled for ‘She’s now at peace’. I looked for a suitable heading – I said ‘The farewell of …’ It did not sound formal enough. I wrote ‘The departure of …’ But that was too vague. So I settled for ‘The promotion to glory of .. ’ I needed to do the roll-call…

The Love of a Young Man

The love of a young is man is unwavering, It’s forgiving – but rather see’s no offense, Perfection is…

A Very Short Love Story
I remember how you made me get into the habit of saying “good morning”. I was acutely aware as not to get too indulgent, but somehow, like a slippery jellyfish, I slid all in and blended. I began to live for those new habits. I didn’t imagine it would be like this; not even later. Not until now that I can no longer deny it, paint it, endure it. I was to forget it; my life was to revert to the…
