NEW POEM #207: "The Aching Heel Eyed Righteous" by Josh Gaydos (@jgwrites22.bsky.social)
"Knowing the ache in her chest won’t wholly heal
the mother instead watches spokes spin the cul de sac,
her children laugh out the airy road, pedaling snowmelt "

This world, the pine woods stretching all brown or bare on either side of the railroad tracks in the winter twilight. Him feeling the cold, sinfully unshriven."

Happy National Poetry Month!
01.04.2024 22:39 — 👍 3 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I just realized my manuscript was LISTED as a semi-finalist at Sundress last year. I read the letter with joy but am just now seeing it is public.
The past two months have been focused on linebreaks and shipping out for another round of contests.
