If you were cat? what sort of cat would you be? what would you do? where would you go? what would you see? Tell us all about it (submissions via email please) for a chance to be in the If I Were A Cat anthology, which will be raising funds for Ziggy and his (80+) fur friends.

He Couldn’t Be Found


He couldn’t be found
there was no one there of course,
decades spent as a conduit,
fitting in,
nothing more than an empty 
people pleaser.
His coffin felt hollow,
the eulogy generic 
but scrupulously polite,
the few dutiful faces
realised 
only then
he had successfully managed
to navigate
an almost entirely 
ripple-less life.

He couldn’t be found because he was never lost. He was an unmade path. A song at the edge that you could hum but never put words to. He was a sigh at the end of a long day. A familiar book that gathers dust but always knows that it is loved. He was never a question. #fromoneline 404

He couldn’t be found, the search went on. Into the mist, drawn ever deeper, down paths and crevices, ancient and new. They listened for signs, followed fading trails, until darkness descended; hope thinned and paled, the last ember burned out in silence. @fromoneline.bsky.social #fromoneline

He couldn't be found in deserts nor forests. His dwellings were caves in macro space. He moved on alternative paths, withholding that secret method from the scripts he couldn't prevent. Hermits were too oft disturbed to be truly hermit. An Exceptional apprentice found him. #fromoneline 404

I Was Born In The Snow




I was born in the snow,
in the howling treeless steppe of deceits,
just a mere scintilla 
of a lie,
then over time
made my way down the slippery scree
into your valley of shadows 
and slyness
where unnoticed, I quietly
fattened.


Now I’m ready to head-butt truth
to serve the many,
not the good.
You’ve occasionally beckoned me in,
to bleat for you,
to fill the gap,
when made aware
all kept stock of honesty 
had already been hung out and mercilessly 
slaughtered.

In the Back of a Viva

I was born in the snow…

We smile when we hear that line,
already knowing we’re about to hear
the familiar tale again.

We snuggle in close,
trying to picture our mum as a baby,
pushing her way into the world
in the back of grandad’s Viva,
during the Winter of Discontent.

She tells it with a laugh,
but beneath it lies the quiet panic
of two new parents,
stranded in the storm,
fighting to bring their future home.

#fromoneline "I was born in the snow," Basil said. "My Dam was raiding when a storm hit. She had no choice but to find an old flower pot and pop me out. Gave me character." This intimate revelation from a forest fairie seemed odd. We were hunkered down in the snow, but prepared to meet a monster.
