II. 
     SKIN TO SKIN IN AN UNMARKED LIFE

Trainwreck Press and John C. Goodman held space that I might do some small above ground work with my new chapbook Skin To Skin In An Unmarked Life.

Would mean the world to me were you to purchase it and subsequently open it long enough to give it some closure.

title is 6.00, and can be purchased HERE

Let me know what you think or what you unthought.

III. 
     FORMER CITIES

*

city 1

A darkness that studies late into the last thought of a white mouse

*

city 2

A snow that reminds 
mirrors 
to breathe

*

city 3

A creature too naked to lose track of time

*

city 4

Not laughing at god

How long

can the infant
go

*

city 5

A short rain touching its shadow in a god just as real as a bird-hating seahorse 

*

city 6

No plastic
in hell 

*

city 7

Fast growing
child
of Eden,

I don't think
they were hiding
from God

*

city 8

An Ohio barber spends her whole day

looking 
at icicles

*

city 9

The children bathe together during what they call a thunderstory. 

*

city 10

Older than god, water believes 

it's never 
lost 
a shape.
