This Week's Writing 11/15/25

Look at that roly-poly floof! If you want to help me stuff crunchies into him, consider becoming a contributor! It’s $50/yr, $5/m. You help the kitty, and also help me keep scribbling as the economy and freelance journalism collapse around us.

Here’s what I published this week.

Collected Poems
I turn the page and there’s some you
before I knew you, bending down a corner.
“Wholly other, and ourselves
estranged,” someone lied—
it is the same old us as ever, folding in
each other. The curve where your hip
becomes your waist I read over
year by year, a palimpsest— my poem
that is yours, and someone else’s,
and is yours.
