I have had two poems accepted for publication in volume 2 of Abundance Literary Magazine. The issue, the theme of which is Man-Made Nature, will be published on Dec. 13. I'm very grateful for this recognition. #Abundance

More kits and designs than eggs in the widow's paper sac, I swear on a stack on Revised Standard Editions you once considered holy. The widow is one of those mothers who does it because that's what you do. She is asentimental. Is that a word? Microsoft Word says no. The Urban Dictionary says yes. My son says I am that kind of mother. Cold, but with a doll's voice and hands. End of excerpt.
I drank a Cosmo with Ocean Spray and Cointreau. Too much spray, not enough salt. I once had a treasure box filled with nothing but a square of air. And a stuffed bird without stuffing. Just a hole between the legs like Plath's grave cave. End of excerpt.
the new car becomes an old car, and the old car becomes a relic, the relic a religion, a religion, a cathedral. Some say I look like Joey Ramone. Some argue I look like The Cure's Robert Smith, or that The Cure's Robert Smith looks like me. An artifact of an artifact. End of excerpt.
