Compulsively staring at the semi occupied mason jar
Dissecting with critical eyes its lurid contents
Tapping the lettered glass whenever I pass
Occasionally lifting to shake and peer –
Unable to rip away
Heart breaking and bouncing with every vibration
Vinegar water steeped to a furious vermilion
Thirsty for the twist – lift – pop
Take you down
Pervade the depths of me
Quench my thirsty resentment
Sinisterly sinew was the expectation
Smooth Saccharine the surmise

Dear F
Things will change and you will be free.
No more suffocating your inner banshee.
Ignore what they say about your quirks.
No more pretending to hide what irks.
Allow you higher self to shrine through.
Because no one else will do.
Love T

Superfoods are all the rage
Despite race, sex or age
Urine drinking on trend
To heal or send round the bend
Everyone’s a bloody sage

Speaking to my nephew about my father who fought in the Balkans (Albanian Forgotten War):
I once asked him:
“What was it like to shoot people in war?”
