Voices float, cross, melt, fade, and dissolve
like footsteps
and glances
Recognition sparks, jabs, irritates, and overwhelms
like hunger
and desire
Breezes whisper, cling, insinuate, and ruffle
like memory
and forgetting
Shadows fall, stretch, deepen, bite, and swallowlike animalsand passion
Light imposes, hints, confronts, argues, and conquers
like birth
and death
Time creeps, crawls, flies, laughs, breaks, and disembowels
like love
and hate

Named one of New York's Best Emerging Poets 2019, my poetry chapbook The New Normal was published by Analog Submission Press. My novel The Zoo was published by Cacoethes Publishing House. Other poems and short stories have appeared in Subterranean Blue Poetry, The Journal of Microfiction, and Sick Lit Magazine, among others. Other works include a staged reading of my play Digging Up John Barrymore, performed by Dreamcatcher Entertainment, and five albums of original music recorded with my band Late Model Humans.
