Zombie Extras Visit 7-11

Every night they return,
tripping down the hill
in tattered t-shirts,
hospital gowns flapping,
glucose syrup glistening red
across their chins and throats.
They seem tired of this death
as they pour hazelnut coffees
and buy boxes of Sour Patch Kids
and chat about what they’ll do
once they get back to living:
exfoliate the earth off their arms,
maybe hold their baby niece, or gnaw
a porterhouse steak to the bone.
They talk about the way they died
today: crossbow bolt, gatling gun.
One shows off the tread marks on his blazer
where he was flattened by a tank.

And when one of the dead gets a text,
she winces at her phone's bright light—
“They started filming again,” she groans.
“This is why,” one says, “we call the dead
‘late’.” It’s a steep climb, going back.
The dead hold onto each other
in case one of them slips.

here's my poem "Zombie Extras Visit 7-11," one of three new ones just out from the new journal @bulbregion.bsky.social!

"They seem tired of this death
as they pour hazelnut coffees
and buy boxes of Sour Patch Kids..."

It reads

rounding the bend -
twenty ibises
in bone-dry grass

Two people climbing ginormous ice cliffs on Lake Michigan. The ice cliffs and icy water appear a muted cornflower blue. A golden orange sunset glows off in the distance.

two climbers
still climbing

A girl is born
then twisted, unfolds
a gluttonous body, popping

each beachball moon
into a wide yellow mouth.
Once, I could

peel back the face of a planet
like a clementine or sit
in a creek & abstract

"How to fight embodiment? Expand / against embrace, shake radiation like a dog, / strip, condense, reconfigure."

A poem by 𝗟𝗶𝗹𝗮 𝗥𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗻 in the Fall 2025 issue

They say things come back
to where they’d been before,
like some sort of comet feelings.
You just need to know how to wait
for them, you need to wear out,
standing still, countless pairs of boots.

This means the acacia tree
that was cut last fall
will shoot up briefly
from its old root.
That you will love me again
in a few billion light years.
