Poems

In September 2026, I started playing Fridgle. A poetry writing toy with an ugly name that asks you to write a new poem every day, magnetic poetry style, using a random assortment of words and punctuation. Here are some of my favorites that I've written.

38

her voice
that easy safety
i got trapped, wanting

40

i surrendered to love
the hungry work
twisting us in acts of play

more easy minutes i owe

41

it is not all foolish
    your wrongs
      baby, you discover somebody

43

have the days mattered.
you protest
sometimes

44

you told me something silly
about vain whores feeding the whole
that accomplished life
but no specifics.

getting any yet?
oh.
noted

48

i regret this
helping you come to your world
what tired gestures from a needy girl

know that stopped here,
my sovereign house

50

change dispatched comfort
we survived being together
the snarling judgement you held
stressful thinking not founded

know i got mine

55

together we are easy
forgetting that pressure
we understand our silly faces
are fixing the fading marks

56

do you think that
patient love by whispers
could please me

yes,
 obviously.
