Self Portrait I look at her Who is sheThis woman That I criticiseThe one with the scarsFrom picking her spots Dimply thighsAnd deep brown eyes I poke the ripply contourOf her bellyoverhanging Judge the anchor shapesOn her chest Like a mean girl Bitchy face scanning Her mouthis slightly wonkyHer skin is lined And dry And she no longer Has a gap Anywhere near Those thighs The teeth need whitening The bum tightening The hips could do with more curveI stand back Take another selfie That I carefully observeI look into thoseLovely eyes That have bravely Stared grief in the face That have closed with exhaustion But never given up Wept for the human race They’ve sobbed with joy Dilated in shock Sparkled at Christmas lightsForget windows To the soul These are skylights I look at her mouthHer pink little mouth That has sung lullabyafter lullaby Has kissed with heat Reassured Bravely testified I gaze at her handsThose chapped beautiful handsThat once held a rattle in gleeThat have reached out Helped others upWritten poetryThat belly of hers She hates so muchThat grew and birthed Her boy The breasts that fedHer prem baby And got her in Playboy A slightly differentPale yellow light Is streaming On to her face She touches her skin Her identical twin She is Grit and grace @thekitchenpoet @bloodmoonjournal #thefacesofwomanhood ...

Chocolate buttons Hair plastered onto neck His

Chocolate buttons

Hair plastered onto neck
His skin makes me happy
Remembering warm milk
Chubby legs and tiny nappies
He burrows in closer
Long limbs tucked
One thousand nine hundred days
I reconstruct
His coat too small
I can’t bear to throw
Can I please press pause
Make him not grow
The weight of his body
My heart exposed
I don’t move an inch
Cold, jammy toast
I could drown myself
In his clammy stink
Eat him hungrily
Pour him and drink
Folded bones
Once curled into me
The heat of his humanness
Warner than my tea
Save to iCloud
Screenshot, file
I stop scrolling and just
Be here for a while
Breath deep and steady
If I stay dead still
We can stay here forever
Back aching until
He grunts and snuffles
Arches his spine
Chocolate button eyes
The pleasure is mine
