Thrilling! Talking Pictures is now officially available. I'm a little speechless now that the publisher's link is up. I'll let the poems speak (talk) for themselves. These are a selection from the section titled "J & J."
Aches, bunions, corns
doctors examined.
Festering grumble held
intact. Jack’s karyo-
Lymph manifested nearly
orphic pain. Qualified
Radial sensors targeted
unusual veins, while
X-rays Y-chromosomes
zapped. Zones yielded
xeric weltschmerz , vast
unrequited temporal
sadness: restless,
quivering, perpetually
overwhelmed, needing
menstrual love.
Kind Jill, indigent
heroine, gracious
Faun, eased despair. Calm
brow arched.
Just as he
Aches & knows its
source but
Can’t know the source,
Knowing instead he must
tread
Around it, she too
Needs to find the
substance of her
Dreaming. Together they walk,
Jack & Jill, toward
the rising mist
Ill-equipped to confront
their
Longing, but bravely
refusing to
Leave it any longer.
