Musical Pencil

Busy time of year in my line of work, but I have somehow managed to squeeze in a little writing and have two new poems at Metazen and a tiny flash at New Flesh. Hope you enjoy them. Thank you Suzie, William, and Jessica. Tethered Lashes Bloodshot Coffee and Sleepy Feet

I  have a new poem live at Deadpaper. This zine is based out of Jacksonville, Florida. I spent the happiest years of my childhood there. It is ironic this poem, inspired by a nightmare that my father passed away before he and I cleared the air about some issues involving other family members and my childhood, found its home and place to rest in Jacksonville. Some things we write cut to the bone more than others - I think this one sliced the marrow in half. Buttons in Jars
