Supremacist savior

Was it a shock to realize that I did not exist solely for your comfort adulation and convenience? Were you surprised to find that you were not the center of this universe? That my gratitude was not eternal and presented limits and clear boundaries? That I, too was a whole being with conditions prerequisite for reciprocity? I hope so. #Poet #FictionWriter #Poetry #ShortStory…

55-word story

Supremacy finally left us to clean up the mess urgent perfection created. Through tears of rage and despair, we chose to organize. We rediscovered and reconnected with our world. We reacquainted ourselves with joy, surprise, and curiosity. With clear eyes, strong hearts, and open minds, we forged on, determined to remember the perils of traditions.

DeNiM's Poetry & Short Fiction Chapbooks @ Ko-fi

I didn't want to deal with all the admin required for an e-commerce shop via my website.

So, I set up a Ko-fi shop where you can support my work as a fiction writer and poet for as little as $1, even if you don't want to add to your ever-expanding virtual to-read pile.

Spread the love, earthlings, and share my page to show you care ✨

WIP: Simyan's Sanctuary

I’ve been quiet but it’s for a very good reason.

Simyan’s Sanctuary is coming along very nicely. Every main and secondary character is ready to tell me their story and what part they play in the plot.

Some speak louder than others, but I’m careful to pay attention to every whisper.

I wanted to share a glimpse of what Simyan, Little Bee, and the others have revealed so far…

An orphan learns…

An Anarchist's Farewell to their Queen

Her Majesty hung up her crown yesterday and left us

Her passing hit hard in unexpected ways

The first time I found freedom

Her story rang through my mind

She left her creations and walked away

Holding her future in her bruised hands

A bright signpost I followed decades later

Yesterday, she passed

My tears fell in admiration and gratitude

Only to dry in shock

At her harsh misguided…

Liberation

The walls come down

The borders fade

My inner world on display

For you and them and me

To see

To observe

To witness and honor

No urge to shape, shove, or sharpen

No pressure to comply, conform, or assimilate

No need to protect, defend, or justify

Only ease

Slow, steady, deep breaths

Our beings

Mirrors reflecting and amplifying

Our very selves

As naked

As vulnerable

As hopeful

As…

Where am I from?

I landed in the dust

Next to a monkey tied to a tree

In the courtyard where a maid rescued a kitten

Dropped in soapy water by my younger brother

The kitten lived amd ran away

As I wished to do,

An angry cockerel at my heels

Scraped knees

Eyes burning through a field of chillies

Almost lost my thumb to the kitchen door

Slammed by a careless cook

No recollection of this trauma

Twin…

Writer’s Journal - Day Thirteen: Dayo-Sheva (Part III)

Soledad opened their eyes and groaned at the sun shining on their face. They’d forgotten to lower the blinds when they finally curled up under the duvet. They turned their back to the brightness and inhaled Lex’s blanket one last time.

Alright. There was no time to indulge in self-pity and guilt. It would not bring the familiars back where they belonged. The shuttle to the city would arrive in a few hours, and there was still packing to be done. They traveled light these days, but planning was still required...

Writer’s Journal - Day Thirteen: Soledad Peculiar (Part I)

Soledad Peculiar sat on the bed, crying quietly, clutching a blanket, the only item they had left from the three years they’d spent with Lex and Anaïs. From the moment they had decided to surrender the familiars to when they were collected, a mere twenty-four hours had elapsed.Twenty-four hours and their heart had broken under the weight of an unbearable loneliness. Loneliness and guilt at their…
