ALOCASIA, 2022
ode to each life within sightlineode to each life within sightline kalanchoe pumila – o flower dust, your soft grey body stretching and stretching and curling and weaving. o, you poor sundrenched thing. you would push your way through the window if it were possible

FOLIO Literary Journal, 2022
YOKEYOKE as with everything now, i’d like to speak of this without speaking tinny fantasies running static through my mind the ache of arms as they tremble and hold the frailty found beneath tongue stringing word into soothing song
poetry
The Jarnal, 2022
hunger moon—hunger moon— i’ll turn my problems into pearls, ring them around my neck; a noose beautiful enough to inspire choking. my fingers inspiring much the same. my tongue lolls. my lips beg. words drip from my mouth, spit slick and wounded.
poetry
Many Nice Donkeys, 2022
my brother; bronzed gracklemy brother; bronzed grackle after Natalie Diaz you cough up feathers, a spluttering mess. a pile sheening against the floor. the sun slips in its own puddle, splashes light across the sky. you do not see. your back rests flat open concrete.
