Spoken Word Sunday with The Mouthy Poets

I am organising this event alongside some Mouthy Poets in association with Nottingham Women's Centre and Women's Aid for a cause that is very near and dear to my heart... empowerment of vulnerable women. This event is going to be a special one with spoken word, storytelling and singer-songwriters collaborations. Please do attend and support a worthy cause.

New 'Science of Digestion' Poem

A very difficult poem to recite so I'll write.

RIP Dr Michael Wise:
 my dad

I'm looking for my dad
in romantic movies

A friend in myself

Grief in my pockets
next to chewing gum

Digging it out
whilst it's still stuck

I'm looking for
someone else's story

Sweet tears in the popcorn
my salty tears sold out

I'm looking for him
past our own story

picking me up
dropping me off

driving me to the cinema
funny memory of skinny legs

Every time I see your bones
I want to run

I want my father to stay
to teach me not only to let go

but to stretch to the world
past what my feet can stand on

And to allow my hands
to handle a broken heart

like a door handle
keep opening it up

I can hear him saying

Darling, behind that door
There is more love

than goodbyes
