Dishwasher on and a thunderstorm — lullabies from outside and in
Heaven: Max Richter, the rain that breaks the heat wave, Patti Smith’s breath like angels
like wings, tongues get clipped. language dictates the journey - says how far we go
& wouldn’t Hanlon, with his razor, look at us in this age of all-knowing and agree that ignorance - when pursued deliberately - is certainly a kind of malice

What’s left of men when they kill off the softest parts of themselves? De Marcken’s experimentalism meets the intensity of both feeling and concept of Kang’s ‘Human Acts’, GRUNT explores the consequences of patriarchy and war through a surreal descent into a shattered psyche. #scotwriterpitch2025
GRUNT is a novel of war, opioids and PTSD. A kaleidoscopic look at masculinity and addiction. A surreal descent into a shattered psyche. Law, a US veteran, has a pig heart transplant. Soon he starts to lose himself in flashbacks; in strange, squealing dreams. #scotwriterpitch2025

It’s spring time again and you’re not here. You haven’t been here in ages 🌷 #haiku #worldpoetryday
What’s the name for this? it’s on the tip of my tongue. Like lips, fingertips #haiku
Can restlessness be inherited like eyes, smiles - I toss, turn like her #haiku
