I write and publish poetry in magazines, books, and as NFTs. I prefer writing word-unit palindrome poems when I can get away with it, or short poems on AI-generated backgrounds. I am currently working on this book : https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DM2Q6DL9
I've created an interactive video using a framework by my friend Noah Pred (who unfortunately is not on bluesky) to display my word-unit palindrome poem "The Gnomon Circles." Change how the poem is presented as the video plays here : oddwritings.com/mindspillage...

The Missing

there is a man writes paragraphs
farming stones
while a second gazes
weeping
and a third plucks them
into pockets
for billiards

shadows pass
the undead
in their wake

those who drift
to taste
