Great to have 6 new poems up at Mercurius Magazine. Ironically, I went to Leicester today for the first time ever. I liked it there.

“Imagine waking up in the belly of a dinosaur,
the thought has kept me busy
on hot days in Leicester,
but how would I know?
I don't even live there
& have never been.”

New Surreal-Absurd Mercurius Magazine!

“Like this I want to stay with the plants that pump out plants. Want to scrub the plants until dyeing the hands blue. Any stuck-out tongue is blue when the promise is activated.”
