A route to rejoin is clearly opening up. So many people said it was impossible, but we - and you - never gave up. The upcoming parliamentary debate is also thanks to all of you, as over 100,000 people signed the latest petition to rejoin. Make sure your MP attends:

Here’s ‘When Sunshine Returns at Last’ from my latest poetry collection This Joyful Interlude, out now ✨ First published by @darkwinterlitmag.bsky.social Book links (or pm me for a signed copy) UK amazon.co.uk/dp/1068432330 US amazon.com/dp/1068432330 CA amazon.ca/dp/1068432330 #poem #poetry

When Sunshine Returns at Last

there will be
lollies and ice cream,
the gleam
of approaching pond.

Should the bevy of swans
float by this year,
my camera
shall rest at ease;
hour the internet
fails to see
then lived.

Still if,
as though by magic,
our heron lands
upon that same
pale priesthood cottage
or twin distant
seaward strands,
we must commit them
to memories,
hoping next time
the sunshine gets torn away,
something fiercer than nights
we'll see.

Putting your principles first.

In September 1964, the Beatles refused to play the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, Florida, when they learned the crowd would be segregated.
The city backed down.
The show went ahead - integrated.
Bringing that up this week for no reason in particular...

I was #indoctrinated & #brainwashed by family, friends & society It took 20+ years to realize a lot of what I was taught was based on bias or false claims It's crucial to: -admit when you're wrong & when you don't know -willing to #learn -be open minded - #think for yourself -critical thinking Etc

Shout out to those who aren't trapped by their own indoctrination. The willingness to hear new information and change your mind when necessary is one of the clearest signs of wisdom & growth.

A mind that can evolve is far more powerful than one that's determined to be riggt.

Ignited

Vague paradise I have no right to sell,
this host of petty flaws you couldn't love.
Incompetence, but arrogance as well;
afraid if punches thrown, push comes to shove.
There also hides another tale to tell,
a story viewed more kindly from above.

It isn’t plump of flesh, comes from a book
which isn't finished yet, might never be
(hypothesis regarding final look
assembles dimly, indiscernibly),
still struggles under fence, then over brook
ignited by mere thought of you and me.

Pain Relief Cassette

V

Drift back, before your darkness coined its name.
Late Sun, still with ascendance, sleeping sound
as Moon foretells next changing of the guard
from cryptic undulations, barren ground.
Feel pressure gently easing on your skull,
new tension in your bones likewise subside;
receptive ear within, softly, to wake,
these chanted incantations for a guide.
First moment you confuse them for your own,
perhaps we may at last approach the mind.

VI

It hides, like frightened creatures often will,
neath terra firma, hoping no soul comes
and if we delve too deep or push too far?
Those trebuchets return (so too, the guns).
Surrounded by this music, self-explore
your pre-existing scars, unplastered wounds.
Now picture smooth, unblemished, virgin skin;
rose gardens thrive on crumbling catacombs.
If reaching ribbon's end, you feel no change,
take out, turn cartridge over, then resume.

How Else

The path of least resistance is a twisted path,
insinuates loll like a favourite scarf.
Inducements of comfort delivering haze,
entanglements forked from our humblest ways.

With gaze glibly gleeful, impractical clothes,
unheedful of clouds on a path you chose
(the journey foreplanned in effect forestalled),
cast off, new beginnings, first raindrops fall.

Vain hopes disregarding all greyness spelled,
complexities’ nature need ofttimes weld.
Perhaps just a puddle, mayhap great floods;
it starts not to matter when caked in mud.

Mistaking for simple new temple, old hidden floors;
how else should the loveable lazy break out of doors,
discover blithe villain, stool pigeon, cruel valentine?
The path of least resistance is a twisted path (but also mine).
