The Still Point - The Rumpus
No lines or curves to mimic the alphabet of the body. Her hand here, then gone left a nameless eye

Today is Day of Remembrance, commemorating the signing of Executive Order 9066 by FDR, leading to the incarceration of about 120,000 Japanese Americans during WWII. This should never happen again, and sad to say it easily could. My poem “Dad Called It Camp.” shenandoahliterary.org/732/dad-call...

Ossuary I

I lived and loved, some might say,
in momentous times,
looking back, my dreams were full of prisons

Amy Bobeda’s MI SIN MANITOS
Through the window a bag of stars draw back curtains. El ángel del canto María arches the tree branch grey grooved like the Queen's face laughing, A pear blush between teeth of a peculiar woman. Не bites his lip. A touch of sassafras and iron. The woman eats without hands. He bites harder. A flood of camphor and spice. The tree of his mother invaded, el ángel árbol ensnares a moonlit circle, drawing curtains closed he waits.
