I haven’t been on here for a while but seeing as it’s the only social media not entrenched in fascism here’s some poetry (I am still active on ig but fuck it’s a hellhole) Anyway this is called // BIG BANG // published by Silver Clouds Zine & it’s about destiny or whatever ❤️‍🔥 #poetry #writing
// BIG BANG //
 
I have the big bang inside me & I hope I explode beautifully
beginnings expanding upon themselves exponentially
do you think when God made the world he knew what we’d do with it
is he bemused by our interpretation of fate or in awe of it 
did he plan all these miracles or did we read into them like poetry
finding metaphors he never foresaw
& forging life far past those seven days

My poem // HOW VULNERABLE // in Issue 13 of @livinapress.bsky.social a devastating love poem written a fortnight before my heartbreak ❤️‍🩹 thank you @lacifelker.bsky.social for having me x #poetry #writing #love #lovepoem
// HOW VULNERABLE //
 

Being a romantic is a terrifying enterprise
 
how vulnerable to want something the way I want you
 
I take a photo in my head of you set against the skyline
 
when I’m cold at night I drink it like tea
 
 
Why do my hands feel so suddenly empty when
 
they have so much to hold
 
I’m getting old & the Summers don’t last
 
will you stay even as the weather keeps changing?
 
 
Will you put it into words this
 
vacancy in my chest
 
every silence I ever kept
 
will you sing it like a lyric
 
 
Will you look at me like I’m more than an enigma
 
will you unfold me like a future
 
will you linger
 
like the sun which sets but wakes me in the morning?

Book of Jack Kerouac’s artwork with some…… very in depth analysis www.goodreads.com/review/show/... #BeatGeneration #Kerouac
goodreads.com
Devon Webb's review of Departed Angels
4/5: I am a simple woman: I see Niche Beat Content, I read. I don't particularly care about the quality of Kerouac's art, which a more discerning art critic might raise an eyebrow at, it's all part of the Lore. & I live for that damn Lore...... Admittedly I found the text element of the book, analysing every little scrawl in detail, a bit of a drag at times ~ I think there was an issue of 'overanalysis' which is perhaps antithetical to the Kerouac ethos. But I was interested in the context behind it, & the connections to various episodes of art history in the Beat era & beyond. I can never k...

some more eroticism…… this one is a bit…… suggestive…… but I gotta make use of that $20 Canva subscription this poem is about one of my favourite lovers I’ve ever had who ended up breaking my heart in a deeply traumatic fashion but hey, the memories live on #poetry #NSFW
// RIDE YOU //

I ride you till I get motion sickness
& then I ride you some more
I like fucking you so bad it makes my
thighs cramp
& I have to lie back
on your memory foam pillows
& make you come to me
 
Making love is easy when I’m
making it with you
it’s so funny
& shameless & ecstatic
I can’t tell you how hard it’s been to be
held right
but here you are now
set a timer & I’ll
milk every minute
for what you’re worth

Devon Webb @devonwebbnz.bsky.social · 16/07/2025
kinda ended this with the greatest pun of my entire career…… bonus points for being a Kerouac reference 😭 // THE VISION OF YOU TAPPING AWAY AT A TYPEWRITER WITH A CIGARETTE HANGING FROM YOUR LIPS WEARING ONE OF YOUR CUNTY LITTLE TANK TOPS HAS ME FEELING LIKE GOD ISN’T DEAD //
// THE VISION OF YOU TAPPING AWAY AT A TYPEWRITER WITH A CIGARETTE HANGING FROM YOUR LIPS WEARING ONE OF YOUR CUNTY LITTLE TANK TOPS HAS ME FEELING LIKE GOD ISN’T DEAD //
 
 
I sent you the above as an Instagram DM
then said that’s a poem title & wrote it down just now
& my laptop immediately crashed
if that means anything
 
maybe that I, like you, was born in the wrong generation
& would thrive in a more analogue atmosphere
but if this was the fifties you would be famous & I
would be even more doomed by the narrative, or already dead
 
but I am not dead & neither is God
which I know because you smoke cigarettes & wear cunty little tank tops
& have arms that I stare at through my phone screen sometimes like a nightcap
& a typewriter & the Kerouac x Steve Allen jazz collab on vinyl  
 
I know God isn’t dead because I went to have non-committal sex with my Instagram follower
& found a Beat instead
now I tape all the pages together
so I don’t have to change the sheets

little excerpt of one of my recently published poems which is also one of my favourite poems I’ve ever written (in a manic frenzy five years ago) ~ full version on ig, same username 🖤 dedicated to the apathetic nonchalance of boys in bands #poetry #writing #writersky
I DON’T KNOW HOW THE FUCK TO TALK TO YOU SO I’LL JUST WRITE YOU ANOTHER POEM

I wish I could’ve wanted you
in a way that doesn’t scare you
it scares me too
but I guess I found that kind of… exciting
 
but here I am standing around
tryna snatch some fragment of a word from you
just a word, cos my hopes for a conversation
were too high, I realise now
 
& I feel like an idiot
I feel small, smaller than I am
& it’s not your fault I feel that way
but you’ve still got a part to play in it
you’ve still got pieces in the chess game
or whatever stalemate fuckery this is
whatever attempted strategy
that didn’t seem to work

my #Nosferatu themed poem in Issue 4 of @underbellypress.bsky.social ~ thank you so much Lucy for having me! 🖤 #poetry #writing #literature
// MY MASOCHISM MANIFESTS //
 
My masochism manifests as a frugal refusal to turn the heat on
I am just a poor wee thing, emphasis on poor
I am a Victorian damsel donning a long white robe  
haunting my own bedroom window like in Nosferatu
begging Count Orlok to come for me  
take me away to where I don’t have to think
about trivial things like electricity bills
or adulthood or decency
I want to be devoured I want to be in heat
instead of lonely & chilled to the bone
