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 ✨

Writer’s Journal - Day Eleven: Dayo-Sheva (Part II)

Persis can’t very well leave the alien–it has to be an alien, right–out in the veld to be mutilated by some caracal or, worse, curious children. They dig around in the dirt and find a short stick which they use to keep the lid of the box lowered without closing shut. Can’t have the alien die by asphyxiation. Not on their watch. They carefully pick up the box, gather the flag that marked the…

Writer's Journal - Day Ten: Anaís

I don’t know how much longer I can take any of this. It’s been almost two years since my application. I’m still waiting for that bunch of careless incompetents to get their act together. All I want is my ID. With my name. I’m not even bothered by the little F that’ll remain. I simply want the damn card so I can apply for the passport that’ll open up the door to this not-so-gilded xenophobic…

Writer’s Journal - Day Nine: Triskaidekaphobia, after Fomo

I open the door and walk into the unremarkable-looking building on Treize Street. The smell hits me first. A sickly sweet mixture of overripe fruit, incense, and burnt wood. Oddly, it reminds me of the perfume my mother wore for years until she could no longer afford the luxury when my father left us.  My eyes adjust to the dark interior, as dusty inside as the windows are grimy outside.  A…

Writer’s Journal - Day Six: Ole Needle Town Vignettes: Little Bee (Part II)

Two funerals and three insurance payouts later, the widower Wright had established an underground empire that he maintained with a tight fist and all the cruelty he was capable of. His first year in Ole Needle Town, Jok quickly understood the power of secrets and the networks that maintained order in the highly stratified society. His wealth allowed him to build an architectural monstrosity on…

Writer's Journal - Day Five (Part 2)

I’d been transcribing Simyan’s work for almost a year at Thaïs’ request. His words filled my waking hours and threaded their way through my dreams.  Chaos is the great lie. Order is not to be imposed–it already exists. Our eyes have been veiled to the wondrous order that permeates every sphere of existence around us. Our spirits twisted beyond recognition.  Our minds broken into…

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…
