This is an archive of poems that don’t behave.

I write about damage, inheritance, silence, power, and the mechanics of survival - often in syntax (confusing at first but extremely precise). The work is dark, unedited and often allergic to comfort. That’s intentional.

I’m not interested in turning pain into a product, trauma into inspiration porn, or neat resolutions that flatter. I’m absolutely obsessed with saying the ‘wrong’ thing.

If you’re looking for palatable poetry, soft landings, or quotes to repost over sunsets - this probably isn’t it.

If you’re drawn to writing that lingers, resists, and refuses to behave - welcome.

This is where the unedited work lives.

Unscheduled.

Unfiltered.

Heavy punctuation included.
