i strip away
these layers
that make up
my many selves
i rip away
i flail and fuss
i twist and mould
these thin films
of both fact
and feeling,
i manipulate
a sheer veneer
of all five senses
inert or reeling,
with my fingers i worry
flimsy coverings
the appetising
and unappealing,
soon i expose
a raw nerve sheen
of hurt
and healing.
I cant spoil
and i cant break them
and so very carefully
i take them
ever so tenderly
i shape them
into ideas
into words
and occasionally
i may leave
something that shines
nestled amongst
so many
polished
turds

Rachel Reviews: Lunch Tales: Teagan by Lucille Guarino
Well, I did enjoy this! Sometimes, all you need is just great storytelling and this is what Lucille Guarino delivers here. There's no big message to this book; it's just about folks and families, living their lives and coping with everything that's being thrown at them and finding their way. But when it's done well, like it is here, then you have characters to whom you can relate, tension which leaves you rooting for a better outcome, attraction which has your heart racing and an urge, as a reader, to see the characters happy with the people with whom they belong.

what an incredibly entertaining and thought provoking load of crap! Meant with the utmost respect and adoration
I polished a turd looking for a bird… it was actually just a word… though one quite absurd… then… I found you. 🤗
Holy Ship!
Ah those polished turds...I have a vault full, lol. Loved this!
