Another Pair of Knees I See
An illustrated poem about the haunting realities of manspreading. I step onto the tram and with a bright mood I view the crowd around me. A lady with a full basket and a white fur coat mumbles to herself, almost rhythmically. An animalistic smell wafts from the coat because it has just rained. She is […]

Kiss Me Thru The Phone
Once, when I was seven, a boy kissed me in the bathroom against a brick wall. I tasted metal in my mouth and his teeth, his tongue, his ribs, seemed so much bigger than mine. My back was a tombstone, and he’d covered his hands in dirt trying to dig his way to the bottom; […]
