It's hard to be the beginning
the one pulled from a cage of ribs
without the sweet smell of milk
or symbiosis of skin...

Merrily making mud pies
Bake them in the sun

I love this poem written by the great Japanese artist by Katsushika Hokusai
“A Poppy Blooms”
I write, erase, rewrite
Erase again, and then
A poppy blooms.

Confession
Countee Cullen
If for a day joy masters me,
Think not my wounds are healed;
Far deeper than the scars you see,
I keep the roots concealed.
They shall bear blossoms with the fall;
I have their word for this,
Who tend my roots with rains of gall,
And suns of prejudice.

What are your favorite mags publishing visual poetry/poetry-inflected art, either in print or online? Not as plugged in as I would like, so I’m making a list.

grab a handful.
you yank,
i'll tug,
we'll both pull,
reciprocating our efforts.
teamwork is key,
when it comes to a fitted sheet.

what must it be like to live
until the very moment you die
to simply plummet
from the ancient Yew
a bright note, quelled
by a Cooper's Hawk
or the insolence
of the neighbor's cat?
birds don’t waste a thought
on the inevitability of endings
because they have the sky
and the sky has them
Prompt: Sorry
I say sorry lots -
Excuse me, my fault, I'll move -
