It was an honour to be invited to read at Padraig O’Tuama’s event in Sydney, hosted by Poetica, where he launched his beautiful new book Kitchen Hymns. I read one of my poems on the theme of the kitchen table, titled The Oil Stain. ☺️🙏🏾I’ll be uploading a video soon 💫

Yesterday, I had the honour of reading a kitchen-themed poem, “The oil stain”, as part of a curated lineup at a beautiful Padraig O’Tuama event hosted by Poetica in Sydney. It was an incredible evening—Padraig read from his new book Kitchen Hymns. What a compassionate and down-to-earth human! 💫

Today's poem speaks to my heart. 'Elixir' by @oormilaprahlad.bsky.social Some of you might remember my reawakening last spring. Not sure how to explain it here, but been on my own since 25 (now 42). Wrote many poems last year, shared a few. Most, not yet. Eventually, they will appear. Poetry heals.💗

Pink blossoms surrounding a page with the poem, 'Elixir,' from the collection, Patchwork Fugue, by Oormila Prahlad. Text of the poem below:

Elixir

Come, hold up your palms—show me
the turmeric glaze coating the stone
of timeworn pestles,
how your mortars glisten
with the flesh of pounded suns,
how your gold soaks
into my cells
singing
to quicken,
awaken.

An unpublished piece, written for a TopTweetTuesday challenge and read by the incredible Marc Woodward on Sendcastle radio nearly two years ago.

FOX

Deciduous snow. Time tissue
perforated along every edge. Lust

lightens below freezing. The trail
routinely followed, throughout her absence

nearly tactile. I withdraw. That part of me,
capable of survival. Licking the killing wound.
