POETRY
I write poetry whether anyone asks for it or not. If they didn’t, then it’s usually for me. And still if they didn’t, I’ll ask – only a very few people – if they’d like me to. Sometimes they say okay, because I can write poetry which is violent, makes them take another look, and see how others see. Bodily harm in poetry is just invisible tattoos with a blunter instrument…
THE INVISIBLE TATTOOIST
There’s a difference between wanting to be helped and being found. When help doesn’t need to be wanted but it knows it can, then it longs to be given. I can’t help writing poetry, even in terrible dreams. I’ll always be a writer who can find beauty in horror and vice versa in the mirror.
Delirium Tremens 
You have such an intricately layered mind. Reading your words makes me feel dizzy, exactly as if looking into a smashed mirror. Thanks for helping me see how others see 🐞

You’re welcome, and thankyou. Yes, with both poetry and short fiction, I try to write invisibly between the lines to give more than one interpretation. It’s been said that even in my lighter tales, there’s a dark heart. I’m just grateful for readers and if I write in such a way that my words stand up to repeated reading, that makes me good value.
