This was also April 1: Can't make up this mind

Poetry Mons Begins

Some years

Didn’t want any more surprises

on the couch

with dog

a three-word Moroccan spice

spring

came today it was just a click like

the future’s snapped fingers

like how she does she does some years

like she didn’t want to miss poetry

month either                   party girl

meanwhile today’s code continues

shredding yesterday’s careful knit

someone has to be

be the last to know

decipher one long walk

city swanning until he stepped

on the trick door in the sidewalk

and dropped quick, scraped leg,

rust spot on the corduroys and

clambering up, brushing and

why did you laugh, he said

but I had waited and waited.

New Poem on Word Riot

I've got a new poem up on Word Riot. Thanks to the editors and to David Letterman. 

"What I Liked" -- first drafted here for Poetry Month -- is in Rhino now.

My poem "What I Liked" is here in the wonderful Rhino. 

"Vienna's Kunstkammer to Reopen" is up on The Human

Very cool crime-writing issue of The Human Journal, with Susan Rich as poetry editor. (As opposed to the crime-committing issue, which would be interesting, too.) My poem, begun after a press party for the city of Vienna a few years back, is here. 

I've got a poem in the wonderful Tinderbox Poetry Journal: my own Nature Poem (2)

There are lots and lots of good poems in this issue of Tinderbox, so go exploring here. My poem, which was begun on this blog during a poem-a-day April, is here. 

Poem up on Villainess Press The Plot

My "Five Volvos In and Out of Texas" is up on Villainess Press.
