Powerful writing in the vein of personal identity when faced with “to normalize or not” decisions like I’ve been wrestling with. One talented SOB and the grandmaster over at Sudden Denouement.
There Is Strength in Our Stories: Crushed Petals – Kelly Glover
Powerful, beautiful, moving and thought provoking even to a full mind like mine which usually misses the nuances of sexism in our daily cultural interplay. Great piece from a talented writer. #whisperandtheroar #kellyglover
Women are silent flowers
Prettiest when quiet
We do not wilt
When they crush our petals
Strip our leaves
Our divine feminine roots
Remain and regenerate
Exquisite thorns sharpen
We are walking targets
With bullseye breasts
Shot with shame
From the moment of fertility
The blood of life
Natural as breath
Yet taboo table talk
Be a beauty, wear lipstick
Just not that particular shade
Of sunburnt whore
Look nice, paint your nails
But not the same dark red
That will stain his sheets
When he’s had his way with you
Why don’t we report our rapes
Our assaults
Our complaints
Flowers don’t speak
When bees steal their pollen
As the last blooms are spent
A new season buds
We are flooded
Drowning in courage and confidence
Flowers look best in a bouquet
The more we gather
The more beautiful we become
Holding up each other
By our weakest branches

Inspired author, Olde Punk doing his thing with Sudden Denouement
https://myvaliantsoulsblog.wordpress.com/2019/05/17/unfurl/
A personal inspiration/muse of mine is Old Punk with RamJet Poetry and an editor at Sudden Denouement. His work is often raw as hell with a clear demand for the words to be spewed, there’s emotion behind them. I’d encourage you to check his work out and give him some richly deserved love.
Your shares are appreciated, thank you.
Started writing for Sudden Denouement Literary Collective
Thrilled to officially be part of the Sudden Denouement Literary Collective – if you haven’t seen their work before please check them out. A fantastic and wonderfully deviant group of artists that I feel truly privileged to be brought in on.
Your shares are appreciated, thank you.
Joygasmic Word Hump
Looks like I might be getting involved with Sudden Denouement as a contributor of sorts. Fucking unreal. I’ve been an admirer of theirs for years as the kind of wildly raw, authentically screwy and delightfully debased writing I hoped some day to embody. More to come soon….I’m floating on a sea of decapitated muffin tops, all glazed and sticky with the happy, seriously, clo-wd-nine-point-five. Thanks for the inspiration Olde Punk!
Your shares are appreciated, thank you.

mothers soaking touch
drowns the meadows
sinking in blue pastures
where the lamb is missed
& the wolf roams low
above there’s laid out
a garland of stars
for the marriage of the
moon & the husk
stillness mourns
the wind, that like a
drifting treasure had
heretofore stayed buried,
braided up in that locket
of rust & wire
bursting out into the wild
with the lantern of
the sun resting in the
grip of a paper-doll
inside these leaking vaults
velvet shadow & coffin
are to the liking of the quiet,
as the hurricane counts down
on ferny fingers
the moments until
the end of my best holiday
i will not soon shroud
my lullaby with the isolated
murmur of old, nether-bed gods,
the arctic toil
of a choleric world,
& the river I drank from
to forget
i will drip in the vaccinated womb
an embryo worm in the vapor soil
waiting for the homecoming
of water, of nectar
sleeping until
the dream wakes
