A poem from @wishbonewords.bsky.social Issue 15 with acknowledgements to #GillianClarke and #VelimirKhlebnikov. Though mostly recognising the master of time, #VelimirKhlebnikov who knew a lot, an awful lot, about critical junctures in life. #teenagepregancy #poetrybluesky #poetrytransitions
Teenage Pregnancy Here comes the changing of the clocks inside me. Counting down the hours, minutes, seconds. Breathe, not breathe; step, not step. There are no smoothed boulders, gateposts. This is the time! How can I, we, not exist; we are here already. Us, two of us. Measuring our existence, flashing eyes ablaze.

June is turning out to be a real writing month!! Absolutely delighted that a little piece of flash fiction I wrote about my dog Ollie will be appearing in Issue 16 of the wonderful @wishbonewords.bsky.social later this year!
A screenshot from an email, reading: Hi Amelia, Thank you for sharing your writing with us. We are delighted to accept your piece "Vigilance" for Issue 16 of Wishbone Words Magazine, publishing in November of this year. Congratulations and welcome to the Wishbone family. We are so excited to publish your work. A yellow labrador, Ollie, on a beach on an overcast evening. She's up to her ankles in the sea and has her head down as she sniffs the water.
