Latest issue of @andchangepoetry.bsky.social is lit. Here is a poem by Blue Fay:

BLUE FAY

Break open the word despair and you'll find it contains nothing but air

The morning after I moved to L.A.,
I found a cattle skull smashed
on the sidewalk. That afternoon, I saw
a man in a pair of waders pull a koi fish
out of Echo Park Lake. The fish was exquisite,
all dark gold scales and big pink lips
gasping around the hook
of the man's fishing line. He held the koi
in his arms like it was a toddler throwing
a tantrum, carefully working the hook
out of its mouth, before wading
out into the lily pads and lowering
it back into the water. There is no mercy
without terror. In all the years since your death,
I have never questioned how a kiss
could turn into a knife. Something shatters
on the sidewalk. Something thrashes
in the shallows. I exhale.
I accept it all.

A nice ol' urinal poem of mine for #smallpoemsunday and @tomsnarsky.bsky.social (previously published in @andchangepoetry.bsky.social)

Photo of a concrete poem on a white page and black text. The poem is written in the shape of a urinal. The poem is called "Duchamp's Fountain Spits Back" and reads: Unintended dribble, porcelain splash— I, I think strangely of pride, of grandeur. Splendid little spots like particles of promise, of fortitude: prominent yet indiscriminate, an ode to khaki pant piss stains and how I too yearn for wet, for wonder, to be a drizzle of dark on the cusp of disappearing. A magic bucket filled to the brim. To then tip and spill nothing but air. I think strangely of poems, the miracle of modern plumbing, to give of oneself fully and fill again
