Reliable Narrator It is in the telling as much as the young mother stitching the fabric of a story to her childβs name. Fathers debate what makes the collection acceptable. That it must row itself cooly towards a lesser grief. My mentor coins the narrative a slow breakup. The complimentary flowers on the motel bed where the beloved betrayed every Sunday. Where faith doesnβt come easy to a preacher. Because poems possessβpart angel or animal. What approaches, soon backs away into rearview βtinted and broken. On the wrong highway, you imagine skin around the found bones. The poems honour β they cloak and embalm, filter toxins and perfume the dying. A river is never far from a casualty, and pages lily and lantern, but refuse to float in one place. Because the current keeps moving with your tongue, lapping as language and dragonfly burr, the arabesque of a manuscript keeps the reader from drowning. Itβs how we hear through whiplash and sirensβthe opaline lake and its dropped oar; the bodyβs duty replaying the nectar of this world.
Honoured to have two new poems out today in @rawheadjournal.bsky.social 's 'Bloody Bones' Special Issue #1.
My thanks to EIC John T. Leonard for including my work alongside many wonderful writers π₯
I attach "Reliable Narrator".

In a half-dark closet clothing is hung in a tight array of wire and plastic hangers.
A closet rod becomes a mode of communication and an element of power in my story Her Delight, out now in @rawheadjournal.bsky.social. My thanks to John T. Leonard and the editorial crew, and my greetings and congratulations to my fellow contributors.
