Memento Mori – 100 words

February 16, 2024 By Ellen

Memento Mori Sunday afternoon: (freshly unified) council recycling point. (Family estate) cars cluster –household waste only. Can’t actually recycle.

If love was rain – 68 words

February 13, 2024 By Ellen

The love of laundry – 100 words

January 21, 2024 By Ellen

The love of laundry   Your clothes are puddled, shorts, pants, socks nested. Pocket with a lolly stick broken in three place and two seashells, not from the same creature. It smells of your outdoors body. The evidence of slide tackles will need that pink stuff, so I rub it in with my finger. Later […]

A visit from my imaginary lover They came to my house and I surprised myself by opening the door for them. They said ‘I see you’, and I said ‘I doubt it, your kind never do. And don’t think I’ll tidy up before we have tea’. We had tea sitting on hard seats because I […]

Another thing you can’t trust – 100 words

January 21, 2024 By Ellen

Another thing you can’t trust   They are only a generation from wolves, with blood on their teeth and head-back baying. Why would it stay when you tell it to? Instead, it’ll sit for a bit until a more interesting smell whistles shrill, from over there. And it will be gone. Not, of course, intending […]
