A new home
August 2022 – the day I moved in, I slept on the couch. This is the biggest place I’ve lived in on my own and the walls whisper my name in them. I will miss my built in bookshelf. I’m sad I have to sell my bed but I know it’s happening for a higher […]
A night at the Hospital
It’s foggy driving back from the forest in the sunshine coast. I love the feeling of open roads because cities are too claustrophobic to pull over in. When I used to drive to Bendigo, I used to call him and we’d still feel connected. I want my vows to read “even when we are apart, […]
Pisces Season
The woman at the car rental tries to upsell me 3 times but I’m not falling for it. “Someone hit a kangaroo last week so if you get full insurance you won’t have to worry.” I forgot that I had to worry about kangaroos being a liability in Australia. I take my chances. Before she […]

Frost on my windshield
There is frost on my windshield of our 1984 Mercedes. It was quite a popular car at the time. It’s mustard and there is a divider in between the seats my brother and I used to ride and call “horsey!” It is 1997 and I am four; adorable with bangs. My Christmas present that year […]
Drugged up and fluey
Drugged up and fluey,I’ve been wearing the sweatpants for ten days, My mind is in a haze, foggy, confusion I’ve been out of action and I feel like I’m losin’. I’m disconnected from my instrument and I’m questioning what the next thing is and how to proceed, Cause all the fire signs in me are […]
