Last month I had the pleasure of participating in the Wavelengths exhibition at Painted Tree Gallery for Southern Forest Arts 🎨 It was delightful to see so many of my fellow poets' words on the gallery walls, and to meet the artists who's works inspired us. My photos don't do any of them justice πŸ˜… Poets, if you see your work, I hope you'll comment on the photo with a transcription of your poem ☺️
Special shout out to Tracy Leigh Photography who's artwork mesmerised me so heartily, I had to bring it home with me πŸ₯° Tracy, I haven't forgotten I owe you a poem 🌈

There's some feisty geckos under my fig tree.
I watch them in the morning sun.
Darting at each other, spinning away, leaping into the grass from half way up the fig tree's trunk.
I think they are a metaphor.
And I sip my tea some more.

At poetry club, a feast of culture set before us. Everyone shares.

I hold back with the intentionality of a hard-earned sense of self-preservation, watching and listening.

You stand alone, sliced open by a fellow poet. Your edges crumble.

I long to reach out and caress your creamy skin, not to put you back together but to make sense and use and joy from your sacrifice.

Your body is hard, perfectly aged. My appetite is whet.

I could run my tongue out and touch it to your flesh, my dopamine receptors ache for the opioid rush of your casomorphins.

Just a crumb, the tiniest fragment of your perfection. No-one else notices.

I finger you into my mouth and close my eyes as the delicious poetry of flavours drowns out the poetry of poetry.

My throat aches, already swelling. The sinuses will go next.

I curse my dairy allergy again.
