One of those "stock cube" poems that you wrote earlier but hope you can add tomatoes to make it work.
So for #betweenthesheets in #poemsabout hope it does. This particular Friday is a moonhowler and I'm flat out. I'll be back to comment later! @alanparry83.bsky.social @brokenspinearts.bsky.social

It’s a small thing in the scheme of things, but the 1 issue of my magazine that published after the election has sold fewer copies & had fewer (free) downloads than any of our previous issues & our current sub window has been the quietest yet by a lot.
