New poem in the latest issue of @thimblelitmag.bsky.social ✨🙌
Inspired by the origin of Aphrodite being born from sea foam and waves.
Loosely structured as a Petrarchan sonnet and tried to mirror the subject matter by having the line length increase gradually (expanding&contracting along the way)

"Hands, a god lifting me to a mountain, casting me
in bronze to be a boy until bled dry. To be a stain
of nectar on a chin. To be a cup overflowing:
a cold, metal well from which to drink."

New poem in Voicemail Poems Winter 2025 issue!
Part of a larger collection I’m working on about Olympian figures — queering them, placing them in contemporary context, etc.
Ganymede is a lad abducted by an eagle (Zeus in disguise or at his command) to be cupbearer to the gods & given eternal youth

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.
With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.
You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.
