Hushed murmurs
swirl among the dust
to gather in discarded piles
swept under the rug by
Corrections staff.
The stench of fear
and resentment
commingles with
anticipation
and the unmistakable
odour of testosterone.
Skill, emotion,
those bulging muscles…
Whatever.
You’re wearing
the wrong uniform, buddy.

Hi, I'm Elle. I'm based in Auckland, New Zealand. I'm a moderator at Writing.com, the mother of two gifted children, the wife of a Twitch gaming streamer and the Queen of Unfinished Projects. I've been reading since I was 4 years old, writing poems (badly) since 1994, blogging since 2001 and I started studying photography in 2010. This blog will contain poems, short stories, photos, book reviews and my thoughts on a variety of topics. Hope you enjoy it.
