I wasn't sure what KINTSUGI was so I looked it up, actually I have heard of the concept but I did not know that was the word. A good analogy to use in your poem

I actually did not guess she was going to another state to get an abortion, but now you have said that I get it!

In response to "Get Back! (For Jojo And Loretta)"

Thanks Bri!! The Jojo here is made up, but there's definitely a Loretta in my apartment building I used as partial inspiration.

In response to "She's Leaving Behind"

Thanks so much for the kind words, Jenny! Yeah, it's set in the American south, where states are trying to ban abortions and make it a crime to travel to another state to get one. This activity has been a lot of fun.

In response to "She's Leaving Behind"

I love this Version of "She's leaving Home" - When I was a kid my Mum used to play the Sgt Pepper album and I loved this one, I like the way you have set it in America (Greyhound?) To make it a bit different. It tells a story and flows well. You have written some great poems for this competition!

In response to "So Tired"

Well, I know a herbal remedy or two...or some physical activity
that might do, might do.
Hugs and chin up.
We of the great order of wokeness will win in the end.
Just ait, around the bend,
even those Repubs bubs will see
throught the orange hate and glee

My Pen Gently Bleeds

Take a look at these poems
and tell me what you see.
Is it a man-shaped
notebook,
as it appears to me?
Sometimes these words
mean something and
maybe it's just pages
that got torn apart
by too many letters.
I don't always understand
the same as you, but
I know when you do
the way a twin may
physically feel
their sibling's pain.
This is me, bleeding.
Open and out
for all to see.
I'm buying and selling
these feelings and
many times, I can't
keep up,
to the point my fingers
stiffen into
a love I can't unfold
or a control I'm unable
to hold.
My wish is for you
to read me like gauze,
soaking over my wounds
while allowing me to breathe.
You're the weep to my seeps;
the learning to my mistakes.
A diversion of my inversion.
I don't know why;
I just gently bleed.
