I did... and I didn't. But raspberries stain the margins.

Hey writing kin, if you're going to be in Baltimore, I'd love to say hello. I'm also up for signing books if you're into that kind of thing. But mostly I'd love to say hello.

Bad news finds you where it finds you,
Sarah says. She is not wrong. Every day diagnoses steal through routine's transoms. Every day people weep unwillingly
in elevated trains, in classrooms, in a surfeit of natural light. My grandma died, and my phone rang in an arcade.
I made my mom repeat herself. I made my son loose, on his birthday, my hand. Once, bad news had to strive more.
It used a solemn buddy system and landlines; it had to find us home. Not anymore. It finds us wherever it finds us,
Sarah says. She is not appalled. She knows: it wouldn't do a lick of good for us, subpoenaed by grief, to juke its messenger.
She knows chances are we'll run, unsuspecting, toward the ones who tell us it's now: the end of the world. And how could it be
otherwise? Bad news, our dear ones will say, in the same voices that have said See you and Remember. Bad news, giving the words
to the only air there is, ambered by kisses and smudged by fire and reserved, in equal measure, for first and last breaths.
"subpoenaed by grief"

Lowery SAFFRON Workstand with Side Clamp
for Kristi
Iβm trying to get better
by force of will so we can eat
sushi without me scream-sneezing
near the other couples, no now we are old
& full of sleep, or l am, on the couch
watching Abbott Elementary
we were both teachers
so we know the mall plotline
could happen. Last night, before bed
I gave you a lymph massage as delicately
as I could, one YouTube video and a
prayer, snuck back downstairs
& read a book but fell
asleep only after coming back
up to be with you, as I always willβ
Iβd break godβs arms if he tried to stop me
keep me from your sleep-breathing
in then out, my tide, my body
clock, my only season
feeling very lucky to have a couple new poems up at the always-excellent Be About It Press, including this belated Valentine for my wife :)

βAt this moment of pervasive disbelief, some poets and painters sought to reconfigure the fragments of a meaningless world into a fantasy of connection and meaning.β

POEM 314: "Winter on My Feet" by David Hanlon (@vespertine4.bsky.social)
"Yes, Iβm in my head all day again.
Itβs cold in hereβarctic, even.
Every inward road looks identical,
erased beneath unbroken ice.
Thatβs why Iβm shaking."

we were probably all up last night staring at the ceiling with our own version of the same thought running on endless loop, but mine looked something like this:
I hate these people to a degree that feels simultaneously corrosive to the soul, and also the only righteous response to this kind of evil

POEM 313: "Nailbiter" by Jason Kahler (@jasonkahler3.bsky.social)
"No one knows the anatomy of a finger like a nailbiter. Some ruins wonβt heal. / I make my fingers bleed. / Overnight they bloom. Hot and swollen, they shine like dewy roses."
