NEW! I am delighted to share 3 new poems of mine, newly appearing in Burning House Press!

"Screaming internally then constricting
my throat with heaves and gasps and
compulsions, every membrane screaming
obsessive images about how men are looking

at creampie dripping down
younger women's thighs
and I'm a boring middle
aged woman his age"

in "Intrusive Obsession", one of my three poems in Burning House Press

NEW! Three of my Museum of Impending Death poems appear in Burning House Press!

"Brimming with stark contrasts, alternating currents

between freaked out, productive, freaked out,

creative, wondering if I’m going to die from this.

If I’m going to melt down inside this ongoing vortex.

Thousands of broken wings get sucked into numbers,

spiral down, crack into the ground, vanish."

Three of my Museum of Impending Death poems are up at Burning House Press today!

NEW in Burning House Press - A Fairy Tale Covered in Underwater Ashes by me and j/j hastain

Always drowning in one way
or another. Another pretty little straight jacket
inside another shot glass,
that evolves into an ongoing Martini,
leading closer to an underwater body bag.

inside the poem, "A Fairy Tale Covered in Underwater Ashes" by j/j hastain and me, appearing in Burning House today!

NEW in Burning House Press - The New World Doll Dresser by me and j/j hastain

"Take me into the basement and use that voice on me.
Magnetize me until the mold goes away.
Sub-layers for the submissive who never wanted
a dominant and really just wanted a doll..."

within the poem "The New World Doll Dresser" by me and j/j hastain, up at Burning House Press's Vision issue 🖤

NEW in Burning House Press - 3 Poems by me and j/j hastain!

j/j hastain and I have three poems up at Burning House Press today, within the Labyrinth! Thank you to Guest Editor Dhiyanah Hassan!

Sometimes I wonder whose semi-secret shit list I’m on
and why. Maybe I’m just paranoid.
I have my own scars, my own forms

of damage control, but not quite enough
time to get it right or trust
my own impulses.
