Excited to share my latest publication with you guys! Two prose poems published with the awesome online journal Seven By Twenty, a literary magazine dedicated to pushing the edge of brevity with very-very-very-short fiction and poetry in less than 140 characters.
Check out my poems below! (And, you know, *heart* and RT if you like 😉
Dream: A few drops on the tongue, the tender bodies who smell of sweat, and a slow dawn's heat that seals the way between memory and waking.

The final sound of my mind ripping itself slowly out of dream: out of the summer night interrupted by fireworks, a horse screaming the dark.

Check out Seven By Twenty for more cool micro-fiction and poetry (I particularly enjoy their speculative and magical realism). You can find them on Twitter at @7×20 and follow their blog here. Also check out their anthology of previously published pieces (whew! alliteration is fun!) from Upper Rubber Boot Books, 140 And Counting.
