A pile of handmade bookmarks printed with summer flowers and swallows in blue ink.
Because poetry books deserve bookmarks I’ve spent today making some. June Somewhere will be published on June 1st and available in the usual places but if you order direct from me I’ll pop in a bookmark.

Two vapour trails of airplanes rising over a construction site. To the right the picture is framed by a large, red crane
synchronised airplanes
cutting skied into bright squares
sunset arrived soon

Literally Words come in and out of our lives On the lips of people who do the same My Mother is 'nice' A 'nice' man, a 'nice' song, a 'nice' day My Father is 'exceptionally' Nothing gets one adjective in dadville An 'exceptionally' long day An 'exceptionally' good meal My father's father was 'brisk' He used it interchangeably with 'refreshing' He always enjoyed a 'brisk' seltzer The bay was a 'brisk' swim Of course there are others Other words I will always hear or read In the voices of the people that brought them to me. It often leaves me to wonder what words My children hear in my voice, my friends, or enemies. I have a guess but I don't get to pick.

I never hear 'brisk' and don't think of Pop. And that makes me smile!
A haiku for anyone who (mostly) detests sleeping alone:
cold, unused pillow
my eardrums yearn for the sound
of your beating heart

Today’s poem is up:

Open pages in a magazine
never stop writing
with every single piece
you sow your product
the way of telling stories
pouring ample images

the washing line
turning itself
