National Poetry Month 2024

 Y’all already know what it is—30 poems in 30 days. Per usual it’s going to be mostly haiku & senryu. 


drip by drip

through the saline bag

blare of sunrise


the trinity

a three body problem

rock paper scissors


sunrise

an offering of clementines

and rum


4’33”

a bottle of sunshine

on the sill


“The Dead Lilacs”

had just one decent album

Eliot (maybe)


WHY JAZZ ISN’T DEAD

(for Mary Ruefle)


most people (even Libras)

seem to be born 

with 32 crayons

each bone white

they only call them teeth

most fish have teeth too

on the inside & out

with a molar of prism music 

some call grey scales

and if G Dorian 

grates like Earl Grey

one could resolve to call this

a gnash equilibrium
