In the semidark we take everything off, 
love standing, inaudible; then we crawl into bed.
You sleep with your head balled up in its dreams,
I get up and sit in the chair with a warm beer,
the lamp off. Looking down on a forested town 
in a snowfall I feel like a novel β€” dense 
and vivid, uncertain of the end β€” watching 
the bundled outlines of another woman another man
hurrying toward the theater’s blue tubes of light.

Lucky to have three poems from Lo-Fi Citadels out in the recent issue of long-running Michigan mag The MacGuffin. This one is part of a sequence of monster movie poems running through the book.

I’m so sad to hear of Monica Rico’s passing. I really enjoyed spending time with her at Bear River. Here’s a poem of hers I adore and selected for publication in the September 2022 issue of The Blue Mountain Review. Sending love to her and all who loved her. πŸ€πŸ•―οΈβœ¨

Border Patrol is monitoring US drivers and detaining those with 'suspicious' travel patterns The U.S. Border Patrol is monitoring millions of American drivers nationwide in a secretive program to identify and detain people whose travel patterns it deems suspicious.

A blockbuster investigation by the AP, out today.

So much in it, give it a read, but starts with: "The U.S. Border Patrol is monitoring millions of American drivers nationwide in a secretive program to identify and detain people whose travel patterns it deems suspicious."
