More beard than human. Just another poet trying to find his way.

Super excited to have a little poem in Molecule’s Issue 12! Available here moleculetinylitmag.art.blog. The process of containing a poem to 50 words or less was such a fun exercise & I’m so honored to have had one of my attempts selected.
Issue 12 release announcement for Molecule: A Tiny Lit Mag (moleculetinylitmag on instagram). An archway surrounded by minimalist artistic renditions of molecules and stars. At the bottom of the archway are eleven cookie cutter dolls holding hands. Cover art for Molecule’s Issue 12 Spring 2025. Cover art is titled “Abridged Freedom” by Ariana Rahman. Centered image on black background is of two sculpted hands with fingers interlocked to form a bridge. Three clay soldiers stand on the hands; another is on the surface below. Image of the poem by N.W. Hicks as it appears on page 44 of Molecule Issue 12. Poet’s name is in a banner at the top of the page followed by the poem titled Trying to Escape You: The willow drank all my whiskey. While I tangled in her arms, the water overturned the canoe. In the morning, the mud was the shape of our bodies, and the water rubbing against the shore was the sound of us breathing our names into the shale.
