RED MAGICIAN
(revised)
This poem is an ode to menstruation, a stigmatized and often painful condition. I decided to use 1920's imagery as a motif for the body celebrating its design, in eternal reccurance, with dignity and whimsy

"BUDDHA EDEN"
Original poem by me
Inspired by the #vss365 prompt "unearthly", I decided to expand it and highlight my visit to Portugal in 2019, where I visited the largest Oriental garden in Europe.

BREAKFAST IN AMERICA
Original free verse poem by me
"First impression of the States: eating breakfast at a Houston diner, and watching a cop order a coffee right next to a steaming plate of ribs and his holster. It's 101 degrees outside. I have no idea where the bus station is"

"INTERSTATE IKE"
Noir/horror poem by me
Interstate Ike is the quintessential everyday predator. He could be behind you at a traffic light, or parked at your local diner eating a burger in the cab.
He never uses a map, and you wonder if he's ever needed to use one

"BARBED WIRE"
Free-verse poem by me
Growing up a rural child, the fenceline became a liminal space whose sole occupation was to cut into the land; not to tame it, but to castrate its selfhood, and by extension, the selfhood of everything it contains.

Well the dog is possessed again. Last time it was merely chanting at odd hours of the day, perhaps some swearing. This time he comes prepared
