something from a larger poem in progress
Deep in the snake, a bird
eats a light fixture. The circle
of bird is no longer a nest.
The snakes can be a light
fixture's hiss. Life can turn
a nest into a bird.

Winter is ending, and today marks the first day of meteorological Spring - here is my offer of something peaceful for the timeline racarter.itch.io/haiku-garden
A pixel art garden, showing a pinkish, spring like scene. A haiku reads "as the season ends / where is it hiding? / cherry blossoms".

For #Smallpoemsunday @tomsnarsky.bsky.social here is (are?) Ten Lines, by N. W. Lea:
TEN LINES

My stomach churns.
I close my eyes and see the prose.
I needed to take the edge off
and so now the edge is off.
All my cells are whispers.
Things become secretly irrelevant.
Now, I'm---... and less enthusiastic.
I finally understand nothing.
Winter is coming.
A dreaded neighbour in the night.

A fantastic blurb from Kayla E (Precious Rubbish) for the final book in our @sfwa.org grant series: "There's a Party in the Free Zone" is a little miracle of a book. Ink-smudged one-panel poems and pocket fables that land like a voicemail from your subconscious: funny, tender, and a little haunted.
Cover art for "There's a Party in the Free Zone" by Whiskey Radish.
