NEW! My poem, "I Am Not Straightforward Movement" appears within Rag Queen Periodical Issue Two

"...how the hell am I supposed to power myself out of my ownrepetitive conundrum into some sort of straightforward pathway?
I’d repeatedly crash.  My own darkness would be marooned.My own limbs would break through a broken mirror, another extraction of myself from inside my own curvilinear folds.  I know I won’t stop folding. I know I won’t sit still insidesomeone else’s vehicle while I am still alive."

the end of my poem, "I Am Not Straightforward Movement", appearing in Rag Queen Periodical, Issue Two
