A 24-year-old born-again My Chemical Romance fan and recent graduate from Cahir, Co. Tipperary, Dean is obsessed with film and filmmaking. He writes film and TV criticism for The Sundae, a blog he co-created with his best friend, Ciara Moloney, which they update weekly. He both loves and resents Samuel Beckett for already writing everything he wanted to write. His other interests, according to his ticket stubs, are drag queens, professional wrestling and the Pope.

And now for Dean’s WRITE HERE, WRITE NOW entry ...

The Homeopath’s Suicide Note

I will gorge myself on avalanches
of nothing. I will
fill myself with nothing
until it hurts,
or stops hurting, I can’t remember anymore.
Too much of my story.
Too much of my story.
I will dilute myself until I have power,
power enough to expel
myself from myself. I will
fill myself with nothing
from wall
to wall.
