Hello Bluesky. Poetry in progress. Delighted to have a poem in @lamplitmag.bsky.social Thanks to editors @jlilley.bsky.social and @snakeborn.bsky.social and fellow contributors. See current issue at lamplit.net/q-issue-number/ Cover art by Mirjana M., @cyanide_cherries on insta.
Cover art for Lamp Lit fall 2025. A figure facing right in profile. The image is broken up by concentric circles and a white cross as if refracted light.I have done it again
(after Lady Lazarus, Sylvia Plath)

I said yes; meaning no,
I swallow the near vomit of negative

Bite down on the bit
Grimace from over-smiling

I wake, jaw clenched and aching
Tongue marked by my teeth

What is this peg on my tongue?
I am mute

A strange Cassandra,
What god or witch have I offended?

To break the spell
I bathe in rage

Open the lock
Spew bile until it runs clear.
