Thirty (one) and Neither Flirty nor Thriving.
I'm thirty-one and orbiting the same few mistakes like they're landmarks. London is already awake before I am (or before I've slept) - sirens somewhere far enough to ignore, buses sighing at stops, people moving with purpose I can't quite borrow. I lie there for a bit, tasting last night at the back of my throat, trying to remember if I meant to drink that much or if it just...happened again.

Powerful!
Nicely done, Mike. Good luck with the challenge
Cute, but missing the details of deep sacrifice that I’ve seen in other entries.
Well done; as always.
I know what this is about. I wish you didn't have to recycle one pieces to publish new ones
Oh, this is so good, Mike.
