NEW in The Rising Phoenix Review - Trap

"I don’t want to be a body stared at
and held down and screamed at
and told what my body does or doesn’t deserve."

from my poem "Trap", now up at The Rising Phoenix Review

NEW in The Rising Phoenix Review - "This Body is a Blooming Corpse Flower"

"My womb is just a crawlspace
filled with little fake dick
and harry discharge instructions.

I walk around in circles, hissing
backwards soprano pick up lines
and watch the blood drip down

out of my lips, flooding another room
into a corpse vat. The shape of my mouth
was contorted, he used to tell me."
