iv. We try contemporary therapy
; so sweet my anxious addiction. To his avoidant attachment.
To the fonts of my inner-critic & its overeaten, bloody bio. I am puce, brass,
headlong. He is tulle, dew, bee semen. The psychologist strikes: Contain your
identity-anxiety in private, or express in a non-dismissive way.
Now we are quiet, our shadow a Tardis.
The clocks drip caramel. Cotton finds fuse blues for Gallifrey. We notate heavy
dismissals; flipbook fear of self. A mercy simmer cell suck slow.
ResultsMe, A. (2019→)
I love people so they’ll do what I want.
He, B. (2019→) You don’t have to be perfect for me to love you.

ConclusionDivorce appealed for its dissociative, so was shortlisted.
However –
I had to reject that poem because of blinkered (f) (h) (ch) ucks
(the intergenerational transmission of pheromone memory).
I will make an anthology of all armour as pluck permits& | &
as we me-he anchors for sugar,
drizzling trust on your ox tongues,
please do consider sending the why of your honey v. self ie ¿
