To Me They Are A Homonym on Picaroon Poetry's Issue #2 / A Poetry of Elephants Anthology (2 poems)

Picaroon Poetry Issue #2 has a poem of mine, To Me They Are a Homonym, on page 11.
It involves a small Spanish lesson, and is accompanied by many wonderful piratey poems.




I also have two elephant-themed poems in Rebecca Gethin's A Poetry of Elephants, here,
pages 11 and 12 in issuu, among many lovely elephant poems.

The Way of A Man

From the edge of their bed, she watches him sob.

He shakes off her cradling palm, curls into a tight, convulsive ball.

Not just a bad hangover, she realizes.

Appalled, she hiccups her words.

You can’t.

I won’t.

She doesn’t love you.

Triumph

Issue 2 of 101Fiction has included my story "Triumph", along with fourteen other stories having to do with the undead and/or winter.

Read it here: "Triumph" at 101 Fiction   Then read some more, including my friend Alex's "Family".

Translation to Spanish is now (1/1/14) found below:

Triumph

Silencio tan hondo que cada variación de sonido en la marcha reducida viene amortiguada por la nieve. El chico monta a horcajadas sobre el cielo blanco -ensueño de nubes y eternidad- suspendido en el aire glacial. El faro disuelve una pálida sombra amarilla sobre la carretera hecha camino impoluto. Solos en el universo, el chico, la chica y la moto bajan, como si esquiaran por una pista lenta de montaña; atraviesan un oscuro túnel de abetos. Cuando salen, el mundo está luminoso. Como quien tapa el invierno con un sudario, dejan atrás los ventisqueros. El chico acelera hacia tierra abierta.
