NEW! One of my Museum of Impending Death poems is in Rogue Agent Issue 63!

"Maybe it's your fault because you ate a rancid peach.
Maybe it's your fault because you didn't apply
enough bleach or because you didn't drink
enough bleach or because you drank too much.

Maybe it's your fault because you held an unwashed doll's hand."

The Sky a Few Nights Ago...

NEW! The May Flock of Thirteen Myna Birds has arrived!

Orchidvirus by MISHThe NEW May flock of Thirteen Myna Birds is here, filled with poetry/art by Eileen Murphy, Sara Lefsyk, Patrick Hurley, Sarah Nichols, MISH, and Sara Minges!

"during this time of pandemic - Sky is cloudless; birds don't sing - and the days Are quiet as death - gargling instead of brushing teeth - I’m transcribing documents that were written by ghosts with feathers and dust - Shift managers and supervisors demand and take - take these new pills and calm down - the control module has been jammed by fragments - a doll falling out of a tree - faster than cancer - we were wearing the dress of altered states - I was rolling around in some flowers with vomit in my hair - the shape of spilled fluid - enter the final labyrinth - every sky ends with nameless colors - flowers carry sickness here - I speak the language of darkness - we carry the burdens of ourselves and our sisters - I had on the face of an animal over the mask of a girl"

Take a flight with the flock, HERE - https://13myna.blogspot.com/

NEW! Three of my Museum of Impending Death poems appear in Burning House Press!

"Brimming with stark contrasts, alternating currents

between freaked out, productive, freaked out,

creative, wondering if I’m going to die from this.

If I’m going to melt down inside this ongoing vortex.

Thousands of broken wings get sucked into numbers,

spiral down, crack into the ground, vanish."

Three of my Museum of Impending Death poems are up at Burning House Press today!
