Poem:

You left the butter out to soften,

but it was me who melted.

On the side of the street in the yellow light,

I could be swimming in honey

drowning in sweetness

The bell peppers dry

taste hotter at summers end

but it's no sweat

not with you.

Breaking corn bread,

pulling fish bones,

holding hands,

staying up late.

All the while

the butter on the bench top

slowly softens,

just as I do.

day by day, i melt a little more.

I just wanted to run free,

Why did the burden fall on me?

Switching sides,

The Strength Sheet⁠

⁠JOIN MY RETREAT!

Poem:
Turned up a little late,

clock read four, and I thought it was 8.

knocking tea over, glass shards below my bed

the floor mirrors up above, the feelings in my head.

you pay to play, a fun game when it's hot

the day you cool down,

quickly tying yourself in a knot.

this is the place where rhyming goes

when you move your legs but your arm throws

I'm clunky and out of time

tired before 3 but staying up till ten

rhythm lost

it's okay

it's okay.

repetition will bring me back,

until then,

i'm a little late.

This isn't the numbers, because I can't read them

this isn't about the numbers, because I can't feel them.

This isn't about the distance, because it still comes back to numbers.

so it must be something else,

it must be something you can't tell me objectively

it must be something you know,

that I know,

that we can share

without words

something you can see in my eye

something that i'll notice on your arms

and the back of your neck

when your hair stands on end

something that i'll see when you can't go any further

something that I'll know because your my friend

I don't care to tell you the distance I've covered

I want to tell you if I had fun

if i felt alive

that's the only metric I'll ever care about

because that's all I ever remember.

Poem: JEFF.

Would you talk to me for the sandals on my feet,

or the two-paper cup, long black in hand?

Some time ago, we shared the same stories

ran the same trails,

for the same reasons.

Filling our shoes with sand, collecting heartbeats

noticing the birdcalls, and rolling legs – down dirt hills.

Did you talk to me because of the way I was sitting

Or was it a look in my eye, one that you know

long before, did you look at the world

the same was you saw me do

did you look at the world

the same way she looked at me across the table.

I'm learning the lessons

you learned so long ago,

and you'd do anything to

be learning them again or would you?

we talk about this at our dinner table.

I hope you continue to talk to me,

and the people at the wooden table

long black in hand, crossiants in three paper bags.

It's the very thing that makes me love the world

these interactions

do more work than gravity

they hold us together,

when everything wants to pull us apart. I'll tell those behind the counter

about my time on the trails.

Poem:

What do you do when your inspiration becomes boring?

when bright lights go grey,

and big hitters, miss the ball? it all looks the same, green gone blue and back to green

confusing me and you

to be called cool, and then to cool down

no longer hot, red or white,

but blue, ready for the next shoe

to roll in, roll around, and roll out.

style comes and goes,

but isn't that the ideal

that style should stay

and never go out of fashion

but fashion moves in, and out

faster than a removalist team

and it's so far removed now

that I no longer know what style is

because it doesn't stay to drink tea with me

instead it rings the door bell,

peers through the intercom

and gone, like the ghost I never held a look at so i'm bored because inspiration tried to mimic motivation

instead it should have taken a, vacation

read more books, fished with more hooks,

but now we're all hungry

and bored

and tired.

I could write you the most beautiful poem in the world,

talking to you about the love I have for light blue skies lightly dusted in peach hues,

or what it feels like to fall asleep smiling next to a love I adore,

perhaps, I could use elegant words like halcyon and oeuvre,

but I know this not to be beauty,

not in the way the world wants me to talk about it.

I could sit with you and tell you about the intricacies of the gardens and fruit trees that line my street, taking you on a journey, door to door, petal to petal, mulberry to pommegranet

or simply, my favourite place to sit at 2pm on a sunday,

paper in hand, and paintbrushes nearby.

but I know this not to be beauty,

not in the way that society wants me to talk about it.

I've come to know that you,

and I,

are the closest thing there is.

but it is not you who is beautiful,

and it certainly not me. I am a bunch of dead skin, that rents space amongst stardust

and you are from an old galaxy, that died long ago.

but I know this not to be beauty

not in the way that literature wants to talk about it. It can't be in the way you dress,

and I wish it were so, but it is not found amongst the sky in the morning

as much as I crave, it is not the way you talk to me

oh to be true, no sweet hold of mine is synonymous with the word.

and it leaves me to be,

to wonder,

and ruminate. If it is none of these things,

nothing I can touch,

or know,

see, or be.

Where must I go,

to find something so beautiful

beautiful is a thought,

a space,

a light,

a feeling.

something you and I cannot touch,

we cannot reach for it,

ask for it,

simply,

we can only nurture it.

You will never see what I know to be beautiful,

unless you know it within.

so I will not write you a poem

or send you a photo,

or take you to my favourite place.

I want to sit with you when the light turns on,

when the feeling is present,

and the space inside you cannot be broken for a moment.

You will not know beauty,

until you sit with it,

inside.

Poem: "Suit up"

Structured and cut without any soul,

Hard to move, to dance, to feel

Is this when I'm meant to look my best?

Buttoned up, belted, and pushed in

Where have I gone?

the part of me that moves so easily

it's hard to see

especially when you can't remember

any part of me.

Keep looking around,

ther' must be somewhere in this town,

a place for you,

that knows you,

understands you,

talks like you,

makes you,

feel like,

you.

the material talks to you,

makes friends with your skin

and beats in time with your heart.

synchronicity is sweet

when you land on both feet.

You shouldn't be standing the way you are

locked up, swirling, leaning

half-smiling,

give me anything,

a laugh or something.

So the best suit was the one you know

it can't be bought, or taught

it can't be sold.

buy you will buy it,

maybe you'll one day make it.

what they're trying to sell you

has no soul,

and that's the worst thing in the world,

you could ever buy.

Space is a luxury, and often we need to make space to realise its importance. It comes in many different forms; physical space is the most tangible and easy to grasp. We think of our homes, bedrooms, workplaces, cafes, mountain tops, and city parks. They're easy to access (and easy to clutter).

Guest: Oliver Zafiridis

Josh's Poem:

Mostly, it comes back to space;

sometimes, it's obvious to us,

and rarely do we have enough of it.

Space is a luxury,

and often we need to make space to realise its importance.

It comes in many different forms;

physical space is the most tangible and easy to grasp.

We think of our homes, bedrooms,

workplaces, cafes, mountain tops, and city parks.

They're easy to access (and easy to clutter).

But we can go smaller,

like the gap between our big toe and the top of our shoe.

The space between our pumpkin

and the top of the oven.

What about the gap at the end of our bookshelf,

do we jam one more book in?

The spaciousness on the dash of an old car,

before there were screens,

and too many dials and buttons for heated seats -

it was ornate and gave us enough.

I could go on.

However,

I'm curious about the space that you create on your morning walk,

or deep in writing practice,

whilst cooking,

running,

anything that is counter-productive to a fast-paced world.

To do all these things,

takes up space -

in your calendar,

on a trail,

in someone else's world.

I want to know more about how it feels,

and what it feels like when the walls of your mind crumble,

when you don't

have space.

I wish I could tell you about the gift of space,

when you set a dinner table,

when you let someone else have theirs,

when you see people

breathe,

because they had space.

I like the space the different types of space,

one tap of the spacebar,

the return button,

the tab,

and my own.

Mostly, it’s clear to me

we need more space.

to give it,

to create it,

to sit with,

to share.

It's easy to do and create things that take up space,

and harder to do things that make space.

- JL

The Poet's Lullaby.

Who sings the poet to sleep,

when the words don't stop dancing,

amongst a mind too soft for the pillow,

amongst a mind

cut too sharp

that couldn't

wouldn't

lay flat amongst the sheets of the navy sky.

There must be a lullaby for the poet's mind,

a bench to sit on behind closed eyelids,

to let dreams play,

unfurling and recoiling,

nightmaring,

tip- toeing

wandering the liminal space

between the subconscious mind and the future heart.

Can the poet fall asleep

tasting their own medicine

listening to the music they composed

toiling on the words that carved their foundations.

a lullaby surely soothes the soul of the cracked heart

pouring balm into the waterways

that broke free,

hoping to find love in other places

when the world stopped singing

Yet the poet,

malnourished by a world lacking feeling

starving for something real

seeks out the silence that follows a whisper

aching for a desert

desiring one instant

for time to freeze.

Give the poet nothing,

deprive them of everything

and only then will you hear,

the sweetest lullaby

beacuse it was deprivation,

that put the poet to sleep.

A world of stimulation,

killed the poet.

and

bled them dry,

of every

single

word.

Poem:

Only my friends know the colour
On me

Nuanced in the same way

You can’t tell the difference
Between the pink

of sunrise

or sunset.

Blush

An asymmetry

Between what I

wanted the world to know

And what it somehow

knew already.
I hoped for a soft announcement

Of the subtle things I felt

But I was

too shy

Blush

My cheeks spoke in italics
Sometimes, with an accent
Mispronouncing words

Maybe because they were nervous
Or a little forgetful

The more they spoke

The fonts changed from italics to fuschia
And became bold 14pt

With hints of crimson and a late-day pink.

They don’t speak like this often,
But sometimes

I can see the underline

Of questions

We don’t know the answers to.

Poem by Josh Lynott

You're obsessed with the wrongs things.

You're obsessed with the wrong things.

You're obsessed with what they want you to be.

You're obssesed with the marketing,

of who you could be,

of what could you be,

of the way you could be.

But You're none of these things.

You don't run like that.

You don't dress like that.

You don't talk like that.

You don't even smile, like that.

I wish you were honest,

an obsessed with something true.

Something real.

Because if you were.

Obsession wouldn't like like this.

Obsession doesn't care what people think

Obsessions knows craft,

not opinions.

Poem: Brain Volume

Turn the volume in my brain down,

static crumbles against the pillow,

glasses cracking, tipping, knocking

my hands try to communicate to my brain,

errors, swirling, spinning wheel of fatigue

months and months tuned into the same channel

direction north star,

direction all in

if you were to tip it all out,

would you be happy with what you find in the pile

I think so

so now, here is my brain

slow to move, slow to process

missing questions and important statements

just as the sky misses the lightning,

striking to make a point

striking to be heard

short sharp details on a black canvas

instead the cloud wraps around my brain

not black, not white, not grey either

my head is in the clouds now,

not searching for turbulence

just looking for the remote

to turn down the volume

on the wind,

on the rain

on the swirling

on the thoughts.

Energy Exchange // Josh Lynott

I crave the exchange of energy

to move past with momentum,

as you fall off, fall away

running alone, kilometre after kilometre

no body in sight, nobody.

Without knowing, you volunteer yourself

your position,

your energy

you hold it out for me

to take,

to work with

it's the only thing that will keep me going

when every part of my body is screaming

As I move past,

the thread you were holding onto thins,

weakens, and stretches the very fibres of your being.

Perhaps I may light a fire within you,

but now it has to burn

twice as hot as the one within me.
