Here are links to two poems published during the year that I forgot to post when they were published:
The first, Imagination,
appeared in
in June (2025).
It is from the manuscript
Rubble/Anti-Rubble.
Here’s the beginning:
Imagination
Imagination: The ability to form mental images of things that are not present to the senses
or not considered to be real.
1.
She doesn’t look into his eyes,
focuses
on his cardboard sign:
“Iraq Veteran – Homeless –
Please Help.”
“I’m so sorry,” she says, gives
him a dollar. “I can’t imagine
what you’ve been through.”
I imagine she is confused,
maybe sad, as she moves
across the parking lot, so many
on the streets, no one to help,
what else can she do…
The rest of the poem can be found here.

A poem from
The Next World
appeared in
(the online issue of Kelp Journal)
in March (2025).
You can find it here.
Here’s the opening:
Sounding: how the world was made
Sea lions sound the cave walls, sound the waves beating against
the cave entrance, sound the fissures and holes the waves make,
shaped like Silurian fish heads and predator worms….
You can find it here.
