Very grateful to have a few poems (including this one, loosely inspired by nature's reclamation of the Chernobyl exclusion zone) in the new issue of @conduit.org, one of the best.... Do yourself a favor & waltz over to grab yourself a copy, (costs the same as a cocktail, but the buzz lasts longer)!

MOST GHOSTS don't believe in people, either. They hold parties in abandoned gymnasiums where sapling maples split the hardwood flooring to reach toward the white glow dissolving through the skylights. All the people left town decades ago when ash fell from the sky. If you leave the gymnasium and walk weed-shattered asphalt lanes, you will eventually come to a bungalow inhabited by a bear. She tumbles in and out where the picture window used to be. If you were there, you might liken the opening to the dark socket in the skull of a Cyclops. She doesn't mind ghosts, in fact she considers them a sort of cousin, given to flourishing in our absence.

I facilitated a workshop yesterday evening called “The Poetics of Water” and we had a generative discussion and writing time. I’m going to share the poems we read together and the prompts in a thread 💙

The Black Panthers were accurately describing the US as fascist in the 60s. That's how far behind you are if a dictator moving troops in to occupy cities & arresting his opposition & disappearing people is just clicking as fascism for you.

It seems like “release the list” has become a fantasy for people who feel helpless for different reasons. Even if it were right in front of everyone, it wouldn’t enlighten us about what we already know is horrendous. Furthermore, who’s supposed to enforce the imagined consequences of being on it?
