Sharing the opening poem, “Pseudo Myth” from MORE FLOWERS, out with @triohousepress.org on February 1st, 2026! 🌺 #smallpoemsunday @tomsnarsky.bsky.social
Pseudo Myth

Again, I've confused the horseman for the horse, the artillery of a muscle for a minor hero's sling. What we do in the name of obedience, not thinking wonder has
anything to gain over wit. The wheel, at times, will envy the hands that clutch it. The horse, the inoperable reigns. Trust me. I, who have neither head nor heart, whose name is not mine but Girl. What's torn through the center is as good a guide
as any.

happy #smallpoemsunday! 💜 it’s the last small poem Sunday of March, and the last one before the release of MOUNTEBANK (on 3/31), so here’s one more small poem from the book :)
WHY DO CARTOON HEARTS LOOK LIKE THAT


It’s important to find a mystery
the size of your life,
never solve it,
& panic

A blue bird with an orange breast perches in a mostly bare tree. There are a few leaves in the background that almost match the bird’s orange.

A moonlit scene in the forest with a small river and many trees in the background. In the foreground is a large tree surrounded by woodland fairies, some still on the ground, some in flight. The bark of the tree has split open and a fairy appears through it.

Granny Smith

Dale Tudge

Beyond the bloomin' onions,
past the cherry paste trees,
lies Granny Smith's orchard.
Best leave them apples be.
Granny's from the outback,
and out back is where she'll be,
feedin' her boneless chickens,
fattenin' up their flaccid wings.
I wouldn't mess with Granny;
she's more than what she seems.
She'll grind your bones to bake her scones,
and serve them with clotted cream.

@thebrokenspine.co.uk @alanparrywriter.co.uk #PoemsAbout #InBloom A quick revisit to old notebook scribbles = new poem.
Cultivation

I was once a meadow,
all yarrow and charlock
twayblades furtive, waiting
for the brassy sun.
Blewits came and went,
seasonal sporing,
untended life paced out
in harrowed time.

I was often larks,
swallows wheeling,
scanning horizons,
escaping furrows,
now I am  garden,
spurge and honesty,
phlox blocked weeds
in dry beds.

I scrumped all the pippins,
ignored the rue.

Dishwasher Blues

I call them nothingdays. You get up
just to go to sleep again. What to do
until the pills kick in? Doomscroll,
Dead Sea Scrolls, prophecies. Stale
dreams. Schroedinger’s sanity. You can’t
sit still and stare into the abyss for too long
because you forgot to fill
the Ritalin prescription. 
The fever sweats you out. A ring of salt
around your sickbed, where you huddle
like a dethroned king overlooking 
the descent of his empire into waste. 
A long night has come to greet you, your name
is impending doom. 

Yesterday’s pizza crusts, bent spoons,
tea leaves, and coffee grounds. 
Trash, trash, trash. 

You have seen the future and you want
no part of it. All you are

is either past
or the desperate grief of a now 

that won’t end.

Hymnal for Edvard

Small magics are afoot, strange alchemies
turning the sparrows into soothsayers. 
The undertaker sheds his soot-black jacket, 
blows the dust off the oaken coffin lid. Planting
flowers into the womb of earth; bluebells, hyacinths,
the old gray widow. They will come again next year
because they always do. Because they know 
no other way but up up up, daffodils raising their heads
toward the sulfur-pheasant sun. A shovel that gleams golden
in the noon-light, a spasmic stirring of wings 
in your full belly’s aviary. Bees sweeping out 
their honeycombs with spidery twig-haired brooms. 
Roadkill unfolds itself from the warming asphalt like tulips,
innards flapping petal-like in the mild March breeze. 
Sap, blood, and dew clot into sonnets 
on the meadow of our wet pink tongues.
Our breath is enough to make us holy, our blood-
scorched palms always grasping for something, 
our cruel exalted wants. How magnificent is our fallibility,
our bodies that vessel the light. Frail but feral as foxes,
we climb on the highest cherry tree branches
to swallow big gulps of the sky. 
We stretch our limbs heavenwards always, even from
the sepulcher below. Where we stick our roots is a pear tree
orchard that never runs out of fruit. Who knows 
where they end, if ever. Spring days, lambed love, 
the apple core of ourselves — these things don’t perish but ripen
buried under moon and mud. Worms and saplings, the red
breast of a robin feasted upon by ants. Bones that remember
they were forged to soar. Mushrooms pushing
through a corpse’s eye, violets crowning the guts.
The language of spring is persistence, a reawakening
of rot into bloom. A sempiternal offering of trust
to be carried by wind and wing. The stubborn belief of a calf
to always be born head-first. 
From deep beneath, the lovely dead
tickle the crocus shoots out of the dampened soil,
coax the grass to sprout. Blackbirds in the ruined church spires,
mouths that know nothing but song. You look into the bell
of a …

 A morbidly inclined sheep, who likes to hang around in graveyards, detests parties and owns original pressings of the entire classic run of Leonard Cohen LPs from 1967-1974.
