NEW! Two of my creepy poems are hiding behind the walls in the CUL-DE-SAC OF BLOOD!
that didn't exist yesterday. It sees me being pitched
across the room, strange words flinging out my mouth
into another uncertain land of the unremembered."
I have two new creepy poems inside the CUL-DE-SAC OF BLOOD...

Also, under my two poems, you can click on "Learn more about these poems" and read some of my thoughts on some of my poems.

For example...
"Women bleed and bleed until the menstrual blood stops, their bodies age, and they speed race closer to death. If you didn't get chased to death and chainsawed or stabbed or bludgeoned or otherwise eviscerated when you were younger, then it won't be long before your body starts eviscerating itself. Then you will die. Then you will only exist in a few other people's memories, perspectives, and (mis)interpretations.
Perhaps my poetry exaggerates these matters, but it's true that the real me not existing anymore is terrifying to me.
I hope that parts of me might still exist in my poetry, even if it tends towards the negative."

Although sometimes I feel like even my blood is invisible to others...

NEW! Three of my Internal Suffocation Poems in Misfit Magazine!
to the world. Speech stilted,
memory desiccated. Me
exaggerating everything.
My lingering outbursts
turn into violent mosh pits
inside my own mind.
Then I fall down into oblivion.
Then I get back up again..."
Delighted to have three of my Internal Suffocation poems making an appearance in the NEW Fall 2022 Issue of Misfit! (Looking forward to reading all the other poetry in this issue too!)

NEW! Three collaborative poems by me and j/j hastain are dripping in the CUL-DE-SAC OF BLOOD!
"When I brought my black flower inside, there were bunches
of human hair hanging from the petals. At first, I wasn't sure
where they had come from. Then I realized
of course they came from me. But I wasn't sure
if they would destroy the flowers or help them grow
into something new. Part of me felt that the more they grew,
the more my peripheral vision would be altered."
