wrote a post-apocalyptic poem on a vintage graphic
A woman is seen eating a screaming eel on live television.

We watch as if we have no other choice.

The ointment is not working.

The clerk is hurrying us out the door.

Every store is closed. Every home is on fire.

W.S. Merwin poets.org/poem/thanks
we go on saying thank you thank you

with the animals dying around us our lost feelings we are saying thank you with the forests falling faster than the minutes of our lives we are saying thank you with the words going out like cells of a brain with the cities growing over us
we are saying thank you faster and faster with nobody listening we are saying thank you we are saying thank you and waving dark though it is

I have a tiny poem in the new print issue of @chicagoqreview.bsky.social
WORRY JOURNAL

Last night, when going over our worries,
I wrote down much more than you.
Your list was shorter. You were quieter. I think
that made it worse.

For your Wednesday Mimesis BY FADY JOUDAH — If you tear down the web I said It will simply know -This isn't a place to call home - And you'd get to go biking
Mimesis
BY FADY JOUDAH
My daughter
wouldn't hurt a spider
That had nested
Between her bicycle handles
For two weeks
She waited
Until it left of its own accord
If you tear down the web I said It will simply know
This isn't a place to call home And you'd get to go biking
She said that's how others
Become refugees isn't it?
