@nimrodjournal.bsky.social published this as the final poem in their new issue, and it just happens to be the final poem in my forthcoming OCD-memoir in prose poems, EXPLODING HEAD (Feb 2024). This poem represents an end, but it is also a beginning. A tiny voice speaking up. Thank you, editors!

The sky tonight. Before the storm.

A touch of magic! 🌈

Enjoy the blob! 😂

I have no such tales, but you got this! When I'm ordering a manuscript, I've found it well worth the time to sit and read the entire thing out loud, over multiple occasions, in different orders. I end up hearing things (similarities, connections, repetitions) that I hadn't noticed otherwise.

Hi! Poet here! New on this platform. My next book, Exploding Head, is a memoir in prose poems about OCD. I see lots of awesome poets already in this list (thank you for this!).

Yay! Thank you so much!

Thank you!
