Me in my office, with pictures created by my wife behind me, resplendent in my Breton top, happy because I am holding a copy of Rites & Trials in my hand!
Received my copy of Rites & Trials today. I have two poems in here: Fourth and Everybody Was Kung Fu Fighting - they are alongside some brilliant work by excellent poets - thank you to @alanparrywriter.co.uk for picking my stuff to go with them!

I designed the background in Canva (no AI) to look vaguely like mossy forest and a path, using Canva stock images and tools. The text is plain and white, except the first instance of the word 'hope', which is bright, light yellow and in cursive font. The text reads: I wrapp'd a blind over my eyes and felt along the path of green; when suddenly, to my surprise - my fingers sens'd some hope between a rock and log, enmesh'd in moss. So fluster'd by this hope was I, I tripp'd and fell, my phone I lost. I sat, forgetting with a sigh, the reason for this venture took. So precious hope is in this age, I reach'd back into that small nook in desp'rate quest to re-assuage my notion found by startling chance, that somehow broke expected mould. My urges grew to sneak a glance until my blind I did unfold. Just green I saw surrounding me, in shade so deep of eldest tree. Sat deep in shade of eldest tree I could not find a guarantee... By Fiery Sun Song Fluxofmind.ca
When reaching into a #HiddenRecess I found something #BreakingTheMould but with no solid guarantees..

A black speech bubble is displayed against a textured background that fades from yellow at the top to pink at the bottom. The quote inside reads: "There are things that I could teach you and things that I could teach you in the biblical sense." Below, a smaller black bubble contains the text: “‘For Unbelievers’ Hels Bowie #outskirts.” The Broken Spine logo, designed as a black fountain pen nib, is in the bottom right corner.
“There are things that I could teach you… in the biblical sense.”
— Hels Bowie, “For Unbelievers”
📖 Queer knowledge, holy and hot.

In the kaleidoscope of autumn leaves Mervyn Seivwright I look for light, the harmonizing glow, the fiery feeling, yet the leaves flash to brittle browning more hastily this year. I wish to greet each set of eyes locked with my energy this day, the gift of breath seems an embrace enough with icons falling as age-old oak trees once on fertile, now gritty frail ground. I need to be the lighthouse, the fog thicker, the rocks sharper, the sea, an unrestricted unrest. I seek to be a space, listening, tender bliss enough for that moment, cheerfulness harvests a smile in return and even when it’s too cold to snow joyful tears can still warm cheeks to chin. If I could crack the egg layers of anxiety we hyper sow from the ones and zeroes slinging our eyes across screen projecting successive voices in an alley cat yard peeling skin from each end of the compass, I could be the sun, a torch for the heart of shared accepted teddy bear hugs, forest green moss breathing life in lungs, be the instant when hope encompasses us. I would know when the shadows compress with darkening cracks, a pinhole of acute light would find a way.
