In the past months, I've had a flurry of short poems recently published in scattered journals. I am sharing some favorites among them here.
From Noon: Journal of the short poem, Issue 28 (ed. Philip Rowland):
THE TYRANNY
The canary’s out-of-
cage shadow
with a latch-locked
shadow cage
of its own –
Well I’ve also
escaped
with my cage.
(UNTITLED)
let us build a
monument
to catch the
light cast
shadow
to mark
the land
where we’d
otherwise
be lost
