Poem -

a tell to the bird

thoughts play out 
Radio       
above my head

a shelf alive
Vibrations + wood
disjointed voices
Utterly wed

I'll be leaving soon

I tell to the air
I am disjointed sound waves
untethered somewhere

I am leaving soon
a tell to the bird
He is pecking the ledge
Industrious bird

radios
Above his head
he will not look up
I don't think he's heard

he is already free

Always glad to hear from you, aswell.

 Now, then. More cream cakes? I've just put the kettle on and am trying to decide upon chocolate éclairs or something more doughnutty. Perhaps a big slice of victoria sponge made with real strawberries and cream?  A cream slice?  Xx

Younger me

Disjointed voices

Is that like disembodied voices, I wonder?
The most fucked up, schizophrenic thing
Known to man! 

You're a disjointed voice, not being heard
Or taken seriously?

And if birds weren't made to be free, I would 
Keep one, or two, just that I could never 
Clip the wings. 

This poem in the distinctive voice we all know 
As yours

A radio spills disjointed voices to our ears
We are all disjointed voices to the wild bird
Yet psychics and schizophrenics hear disjointed voices all the time
I am neither but it doesn't stop me talking to the dead....
And answering for them... which mostly I post on cosmo...go figure 😆😆😆
PS... I was referring to a real radio... on a shelf... in my kitchen... x
