Words = Ash by Brett Hackett

Keep finding it in the
kitchen
the tingle of warmth
at the end of the paper skin
the fire spits and crackles

and for a little while
I feel balance,
after I let go of my fear
is this rebellion?

Let me know,
I’m ready
what have you got?

One summer is all I need
before harvest comes
pull up, you’ll be fine,
take a drag              is that what they say?
Better than being a pusher – smoke a joint with Miley Cyrus

Short Bio: Brett Hackett is a student of Creative Writing at Edge Hill university who thinks of himself as a professional cynic, which sometimes gets in the way of him being a full-time romantic. He is interested in writing full time.
