A poem I wrote, I want to share with you, now, entitled Lullaby Birdie.
I buried the songstress in me
that defenceless birdie.
The lullabies I sang
became tattered,
muddied, soiled in black,
time passed,
I lost my wings.
My grandaddy,
befofe we lay him down to rest,
he told me
“don’t keep everything, so close to the vest.
Use your voice, do your best”.
I remember, that December,
long ago.
I sang “so long, so long,
the last gentleman I’ll ever know.”
As God as your witness,
heaven from up there
you must’ve seen my soul
as it suffered and deadened.
Caged with shame,
battered to bruised,
nothing to see or hear
the cry of another forgotten muse.
Granddaddy, i’ve been silently sobbing, “your little birdie never took flight”
I felt your hands on me, Yesterday
“you are good, you’re are safe
don’t let your voice, go to waste
your songs will mend the hearts of children”
“Which ones, grand daddy” a voice from within.
“which children? the child within me?
The child in them?
I’ve seen so much, I know too much
and worse, i’ve committed sin.
my heart, it’s been crushed
where would I begin?”
He replied “We are all sinners, hypocrites”
Then appeared the shape of an instrument.
A violin…A sitar…
No, just that simple man’s old guitar
His voice replied, “I’ve removed its tar, replaced it with the moon and the stars.”
Northern light, weary travellers delight,
colours danced-the sky-
land beneath my feet, she began to weep.
“I am fertile, destined to grow
Sow your your seeds, nourish me.
Use your voice, never for profit.
Your instrument is a tonic, it will lend.
To the child in you, to the child in them.
Sing,little birdie, if only just a lullaby.
Halo
Happy Mother’s day UK
Since becoming a “mumma”
my perspective on so many things
have transformed. I was awakened.
Sending love to all the mothers
out there, doing their best.
Motherhood can be so challenging but the reward is far greater than the sacrifice. I am filled with gratitude.
I am grateful to be the recipient of my daughters love
VW is such an open, generous affectionate soul, yet with love, fearlessly stands her ground. V is the greatest blessing to me.
Thank you to Joe for being such a wonderful father, even in your long absences. The support you provide your family, allows me to be a better mother. I hold so much love and gratitude.
Ive always told V, the love you give is the love you receive. We teach our children how to love. Through example. As leaders. Every choice, every moment, is defined by this for me. Lets all be a little kinder. Nurture the child in you,too. The child in us all. These kids are the future.
The seeds we plant today…

V asked why I never shared this with her and she is obsessed and asked why I can’t look like this all the time 🥸🤓😂
The Pre-Raphaelite
for the met ball one year @garrennewyork @alice___lane
all that burdened
lives in a “righteous” woman
behind a holy mask,
her name “hypocrisy”
I followed along, you see
a treacherous trail of lies
cast in a shadow of shame
on the edge of silence
forever to blame
for all that burdened
a wolf, sheep’s clothing
sharp teeth, never exposing
the stage she set, in his blood she shed, then crying, pointing fingers, chanting, “you’re all sinners”!!
with hands soaked in red
she threw the first stone, spitting
“you are that burdened”!
in vein, i wept
showered in a stoned tidal wave, l, and away my truth was swept
except, when she opened her wicked mouth to speak
half truths, war cries
emerged, the scale of sequoia trees
tall, hypnotic tales
veiled in melody
a mirage, to soften, flights of fancy
the blows, she swung
scathing, stung
all those she loved
she didn’t know how to love,
to be loved
so she became
all that burdened
ive worn too long
the truest of tragedies
brutality, not my reality
skin of the damned,
shed,
like stars from my crown, fallen sky,
scribble it all down
burn it away
all that burdened
all that burdened
all that burdened me.
this is a very important poem I wrote, a vast and deep purge, exploding like blossoms in our wild ancient meadow
i am being guided to make music, if the melodies arise, if, and only if, they appear like a birdsongs at sundown xHB
special thanks @gretabellamacina for sound boarding, lighting a torch on dark corners, exposing, shedding, unwinding, unbinding- during this magical time of expression and creation.
Work/life balance hasn’t been simple these days. I try to be the best mother I can be, the best professional actor and artist. Sometimes, just showing up, is the best I can do. Cherished are the fleeting moments of joy and connectedness to nature and gentle flow. To all the working/single moms out there, doing their best. I see you 🥹

That was cute ☺️
“What is Borderlands Hiding” 🥸🧐😂🤫
“I care because I love her work in a lot of movies, but I’m an outlier. I consider Bennett to be one of the unluckiest working actors today. I’m a big fan of hers, but few casual moviegoers have heard of her or would even recognise her, and it feels like Borderlands keeping her as a surprise package is a continuation of her failing to get any real recognition.”
I see you The Gamer 👍🏻
I loved working with @EliRoth and Team @Borderlands. I hope you dig my lil’ contribution in this epic, flat gonzo world Eli created. To grace the screen with this talent, not least Cate, was pretty 🤩
You asked.
This is a huge responsibility. A lot of pressure.
Requires a lot of training and safety protocols set into place. Grateful to my employers and extremely competent trainers for keeping us aware and in practice.

Our very lovely film to open a dreamy film festival in wine country 🍷 🍇 Couldn’t be more perfect. #WidowClicquot #VeuveClicquot @variety
Cherished are the moments of fleeting joy and gentle flow, a song that moves through us all. We bow, bend, and the music always ends. Leaving its tune to move through us and navigate the more challenging aspects of our world and struggles. Let us strive for peace. It’s worth the fight. Keep your heart and your eyes open 🫵🏼🙏🏼
