Here are all of the short poems published in the online journal Weird Laburnum.
adrift at sea
the god we pray to
waves
*
from the kitchen window
my parents host
a festival of squirrels
*
NO SOLICITING her future
*
between one thought and the next empty space
*
in the mirror an emoticon he mimics himself
*
a mask of my younger self confidence
*
petting the space where the dog was darkness
*
swinging his banana republic
*
asemic writing
a shoelace pulls
a trail of rain
*
the name
I set my poems to
comet moths
*
click bait Jesus the phisher of men
*
her holiday picture the lifespan of iguanas
*
as if he grew
from the earth
on his jeans
*
with the window still open I wake to a chill
and tuck myself into your shadow
*
she nurses a cold that hasn’t got better
the late autumn night stuffed with fog
*
feeling my lungs
thicken with flem
I hack up
a chunk
of self pity
*
the coldest day
of the winter so far
we stay
inside
despair
*
driving my son
to clarinet lessons
the screech
and the squeal
of my brakes
*
putting away
the last of the groceries
a squirrel
with a cheek full
of seeds
*
filling the page
with meaningless
scribble
I empty the time
from my day
