Make your choice, adventurous Stranger;
Strike the bell and bide the danger
Or wonder, till it drives you mad,
What would have followed if you had.

my first plum pie

my first plum pie, originally uploaded by thealphafemale.

recipe from frankie magazine….

you need:
125g butter
1/2 cup sugar
an egg
1 1/4 cups plain flour
3/4 desiccated coconut
1 teaspoon baking powder
tinned fruit (i used plums. use anything you like, though. i also added a bit of cinnamon and sugar to taste)

how to do it
melt the butter and then cool it down a bit. add all ingredients except fruit, obviously, into a bowl to make the dough. mix all together and taste some of it. put in fridge to cool for 10 minutes.

while it’s cooling, preheat the oven to 180c, and grease a pie tin or something pie shaped. take out dough and use around 2/3 to line bottom of tin and about a cm up the sides.

add fruit inside, crumble the rest of the mix over the top. when oven is heated, put in pie. bake for 20 minutes or so, or until brown and delicious.

serve with ice-cream, yoghurt or cream, with icing sugar on top.

watch while people swoon in adoration.

no talking

night lights go by me, lover
i dream of screaming wheels on cars and bitten escapes
your colours are in my head
i take up my entire bed and do not reach for bodies
i sleep after 5 coffees
the challenge is
live off this
live from this
you have your hands, something in your stomach
i hold the camera like a hustle, a baby nestled
my feet beat soundless and my heart against them
(this wasn’t ever for you. you’re stronger. walk forward)
and yet
i see skin and secretly claim it
my hands are not my own
they’re roaming with a gasp and an eye roll
back into my head, these are the images i’ll save for later
when i’m happier, away from communicators i talk with
but never understand.

flesh and blood, it beats for me.
