Morning of April 19, 2023

half-asleep

you visit the shrink

in fifty minutes

you emerge

half-awake

~Ruth Holzer

volcanic uplift a clean train

~Jerome Berglund

hiding what the scale says my fat furry slippers

~Ruth Holzer

Scandinavia chain of evidence

~Jerome Berglund

the long con tortoise shell glasses

~Jerome Berglund

yes the flea

had second thoughts about

biting her

yet in the end he bit

her on her end (the end)

~Roberta Beach Jacobson

before the wildflowers

i am only

a shadow

~Tiffany Shaw-Diaz

meme template

infinitely replicatable

hooded sweatshirt

~Jerome Berglund

cultural competence

a breeze blows

the trenchcoat open

~Kelly Moyer

and then i turned to him and said

listen to the highway

it sounds like death

~Tiffany Shaw-Diaz

I never thought

I'd be taking a little

yellow pill

on every occasion

but there it is

~Ruth Holzer

carrying memories

wrapped in a white sheet

the hearse car

~Debarati Sen

insomnia

I count

dead people

~Ruth Holzer
