even in death
there’s something on her mind
wriggling maggots

Presence, 81, arrived. I spent some time on our sunny porch reading it, and it was time well spent. I am honoured and grateful to the incredible editor Ian Stor for selecting one of mine. Best wishes to Ian as he steps down, and congratulations on a successful tenure❤️

One of my favourites is “What’s Left” a rengay by Kimberly Kuchar and C.X. Turner with commentary from John Thompson. A snippet:

her smile
one slice of orange
in her palm

thinning hair
a mother’s hands
weave lullabies

The link is sublime!
