I was crushed! And is this tenderness? Professional palms kneading my bare,
jittery skin? Sweat rivers my spine and I’m ashamed of my grown body.
I don’t think he desires me, no, I worry instead that he might see 
me as I am.

There is no revelation in seeing your first, fermenting body.

of a rice cake, picking out the bones
from the flesh of a belt fish.
Somewhere, I write a poem about euphemism.

of camptown women, cutting
creases into their eyelids, transplanting
cartilage to the nose, their flesh,
this country, so young
and soft and beautiful.

ERROR: type should be string, got " https://t.co/WEaS2iKFOh @rheedacted So grateful to have had a hand in sharing this poem!💕 @hanjoseph I love everything @jeanho writes, but an essay that pops up first in my head is this one: https://t.co/12L13OpfVt @thealyssalo He did a talk at Bās that was great! You’ve probably seen Johnson’s art on the covers of The New Yorker. This one was circulated widely online after the Georgia spa shootings. https://t.co/AVTyWQrnoG I think fellow poets would be interested to read R. Kikuo Johnson’s No One Else to see how silence in storytelling—something poetry devotes much page space to—is rendered in graphic novel form. So beautiful and rich https://t.co/wiqwHzbuyq @SkunkBabePoet Love the cover! @samforbreakfast I. Love. This @Sarah__Fuchs 💖💖💖 @Chibuihe_ @eccobooks Thank you so much for reading and sharing!🌟 I can only mourn what is known to me—whole futures, "
books borrowed, you, gone to war: grief, not terror.
In the grocery store we frequented, my soul chatters
warning. My own angel with a gun—remember terror?

https://t.co/7vzq7f77LA What I mean to say: sometimes my body is an atopy.
Do you understand? Safe outside myself—shorn terror.
Sam died and Carl died. My mother pink-robed, a
silhouette chain-smoking on the porch: contained terror.

The piece is in her book of poetics that we’re working on. https://t.co/ZaJ6Bs18Kl Announcing The Margins’ Pushcart nominees ✨ @aaww @robcolgate @aaww So touched and honored to hear that The Margins is your fave venue!!😭💕 El árbol, de pie
expulsa fantasmas.
El árbol cadáver.
He venido otra vez en forma de sal.
The tree, on its feet
ejects ghosts.
The tree corpse.
I have arrived once again in salt form.

Mi mano hirviente.
I am a white rider with a cloud in my eye.
Poncho full of holes.
My hand boiling.

https://t.co/fylXA6PGVh Miss poetry readings at bars. Wine, spirits (meaning both the liquor & feels lol), the random drunks who didn’t mean to be there but get really into the poems, all of it Some more info on the Fair and the Black Queer & Intersectional Collective: https://t.co/UOz5pJ9ly0 Buy a book from the @brewandforge Book Fair and raise funds for the Black Queer & Intersectional Collective @BQIC_Ohio!! I donated a signed copy of A Cruelty Special to Our Species. The Fair runs until December 8🥰 Thanks for the replies! It seems like in CA (for the Bay at least?) the mask-wearing practice is similar somewhat with Honolulu’s (many still wearing masks outdoors especially in more crowded settings) Those who live in the “mainland”: do ppl there wear masks outdoors? How do you feel about it? Where I am in HNL, many still wear masks (but not @ beaches). I didn’t know that in Chicago&NY very few wear them outside now. Curious about other cities with relatively high vax rates @chenchenwrites @abugoddess @kemiaalabi @bengarciapoet @__day_lily__ @KevinBertolero @TheOceanIsGay @JoshTvrdy @sashadm @umajag @JenifrMilitello Grateful for & love you, Chen ❤️😭 Puz-itively jazzed to buy this dazzling puzzle from a local small puz biz (Surf Shack / Art by Hannah Katarski) https://t.co/nUsiAHx18v Another cutie my spouse & I caught in our apartment and released into a nearby creek area. Have a good gecko life! https://t.co/cGHAAYqWBn There is a girl, left eye drowsy, right eye wide, next to you and she is not me. Jiejie, I fell in love with a girl and it was as bad as you said it would be.
