my cuckoo heart — this
strange speckled thing, an egg forced
on me, something I
do not want to raise but which
is bound to me by its hunger

Instead of flowers bring her rare books

Pseudo Myth Again, I've confused the horseman for the horse, the artillery of a muscle for a minor hero's sling. What we do in the name of obedience, not thinking wonder has anything to gain over wit. The wheel, at times, will envy the hands that clutch it. The horse, the inoperable reigns. Trust me. I, who have neither head nor heart, whose name is not mine but Girl. What's torn through the center is as good a guide as any.

Sharing the opening poem, “Pseudo Myth” from MORE FLOWERS, out with @triohousepress.org on February 1st, 2026! 🌺

WHY DO CARTOON HEARTS LOOK LIKE THAT It’s important to find a mystery the size of your life, never solve it, & panic if you get close

A blue bird with an orange breast perches in a mostly bare tree. There are a few leaves in the background that almost match the bird’s orange.

I’m seeing a lot of Eastern Bluebirds around which is a delightful surprise
