The Beverly Fund
I wrote this poem for The Beverly Fund!
As I watch her breathing in her cot,
My heart expands with love.
She lies there, still and beautiful,
Cooing like a sacred dove.
In recognition of my voice
She turns her tired head
And hears a soft, familiar song,
with words that can’t be said.
I touch her face, so soft and fine
Like parchment lost in time.
It tells a story of regret.
I memorise every line.
Her cells began to multiply,
Now all control is lost.
She never should have started but….
With tears we pay the cost.
As I watch her breathing in her cot,
My heart expands with love.
She lies there, still and beautiful,
Cooing like a sacred dove.
In recognition of my voice
She turns her tired head
And hears a soft, familiar song,
with words that can’t be said.
I touch her face, so soft and fine
Like parchment lost in time.
It tells a story of regret.
I memorise every line.
Her cells began to multiply,
Now all control is lost.
She never should have started but….
With tears we pay the cost.

The Mental Pause
Rusty Bernard was born in Glasgow but pretends it's NYC.
She has been abandoned by her Libido, hormones and ginger hair.
In writing The Mental Pause I have deliberately and cynically rejected the idea of form and structure to create something so damaged and purposeless that I myself have been restored in the process.
The absurdities of Rusty's rantings paint a collage of mocking and often twisted views which reject any rational belief in herself and the establishment.
How much help is given to people with mental health problems before they resort to the ulimate relief. Suicide!

Beauty Treatments
Tam, do you know what?
Because of this bloody menopause my skin is getting really dry and I would try just about anything. So, this morning I developed a new beauty treatment.

When I was younger and had a wart on my finger my mum told me to lick it first thing in the morning because the saliva was toxic and would dissolve it. So, on this premise I thought I would soften the dead skin on my face with honey and then lick it off.
Now I know what you’re thinking and of course I can’t lick my own face but my dog loves honey and she very happily performed the task for me.
The results are fabulous!
So all you menopausal girls out there get yourselves to the shop for a big jar of Manuka and if you don’t have a dog then offer to look after one for a neighbour and get that epidermis activated!
You’re welcome,

Converted!
Tam, you'll never beleive the strange things that happen to me.
Yesterday I went into the local shop and asked the lovely 'Sam' if he had any Morton's rolls left and he told me delightedly that he had one left, 'just for me.'
He then went on to tell me how much he enjoyed them and ate one every day with crisps in it. I said to him that I did the same but usually put some cooked ham in mine and maybe he should try that. He gave me a knowing look and continued to talk about the bread rolls and their delicious qualities.
I stopped him and said that he didn't need to preach to the converted. He looked stunned and came round to the other side of the counter and gave me a hug telling me that I didn't have to pay for the roll and I could have it as a gift.
The next morning I was passing and his son Omar was standing outside and he called over to me;
"Welcome to Islam my friend."
Very strange indeed.
