Okay, I've given myself two weeks to recover from spinal surgery. But now I'm down to only having 20 active submissions out to journals, so time to get working again I guess. #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity #amwriting

A new (old) poem today with Mediterranean Poetry. This literally came from a journal fragment I wrote when I was a teenager, and now here it is in the world. www.odyssey.pm/contributors...

Spinal surgery recovery feels like getting kicked in the back though. Anyway, have a old-new story out in The Cabochon Review! It started as a writing exercise my freshman year of college.... www.cabochonreview.com/editions

Surgery #2 is tomorrow at 6 AM. This is the spinal surgery, so the more serious of the two. If I disappear for a while, it's because I'm on pain medication and because moving will be difficult.

Thank you!

Oh, I know. It's happened before. It's just funny when all the mistakes happen in the same day.

Thirty-One

Before you the world ended, stretched on tables of tears – like every other single woman I knew at thirty – that confused everyone who didn't know and scared my mother. Made her worry that I might be suicidal, might give myself over to fear that I wasn't actually living after thirty…

Roads Home

The paths we take to come home again are longer than those same roads are away. They arc, electricity lighting the sullen midnight dark, stretching out in the dim spaces between stars. Maybe tires move faster, you say, when they're taking us away. When they aren't weighed down with our…

Bicycle Memory

We lie belly to belly, memory slipping between ribs, thought made heat and grief and nothing held except the hum of cunning and the echo of use worn smooth by yesterday’s yesterday. Too little now that was too much. My sister said love is like a bicycle ride. I understand it,…

Kudzu

Jilted, I planted it like a curse, waited until he was gone, scattered the seeds wide enough to test its patience, how it waits for nothing. Small, I knew they would become. The vines learned his house, his heart. Those doors and windows vanished into green. We could not escape. Some growth…
