Why this image of a centaur? Centaurs feature in the poem "Plains of the Chalcolithic" (see its link below).

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
