Andrew Bellamy

Andrew Bellamy, 22 from Cardiff. Spent three months of this year travelling in Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand and Bali with his girlfriend before commencing an MA in the Teaching and Practice of Creative writing. Trying his hand at short stories, playwriting and poetry and realising there's a lot of work to be done!

Confusions by Andrew Bellamy

My memory has gotten bad.
I tend to forget.
This causes great confusions and concern.

My days are glazing over. Slowly.
They are in retreat and fading.
It has been a long process.

Confusion! An existence that is measured in questions.

“Why do this to yourself?” They ask me.

What sense may be made of any of this?

“It has been a long process,” I tell them, “and I have much to forget.”
