huge thanks to @genrepunkmag.bsky.social for nominating this poem, "air," co-authored with @gr8earlofhell.bsky.social as part of a series, for the Pushcart prize. 🌬

genrepunkmag.wordpress.com/2025/08/20/a...
air after midnight now & i am instituting the freight train over lombard street shut the fuck up challenge & it's not an attack on trains but actually in defense of a silent night, soundtracked only by tires across slick pavement & an errant thrush. it's been months since i heard a whistle sound through the stark chill of midnight air & i swear this tree had leaves the last time i looked but here we are now, in the waxing-days of january staring at pockets of orangegrey between shadows of branches. i will always bemoan july's humid advances but never stop to consider the right now of it all—the way chills lurch up unsuspecting spine, regardless of the weight of my jacket. the black-iced patches of uneven brick sidewalk. the way a sound, any sound, cuts the sky in the first hours of a new year, ecstatic at all the streets it may roam unencumbered. i keep a stock of blades to cut the sky beneath my tongue / shaped like every sound that was rejected by my kin
