My poems have been published internationally in a wide range of print and online publications as well being broadcast on radio and incorporated into poetry installations, contemporary artwork and film. I also sometimes integrate spoken word pieces into my songs. CLICK JOURNAL COVERS for more poems.

  

 

MIMICRY IN G MINOR

It started on the cusp of a semilunar moon,
a migration of pain from coast to coast across
the tundra, where whispers grew wild and tangled
up in the twelve hollows of my throat.
In those scratchy nooks, clutches of
eggs hatched asynchronously
sounding like the flight calls of
old cell phone messages fading
with the sky. On examination,
with the also tangled stethoscope
every thump had a wingbeat and a melodious span
of muffles, clicks and tweets.
It had been a year since the funeral,
since we celebrated with sandwiches
and threw the crusts to birds,
but the days were still long and tapered
towards night, where bats not stars
helped us to find our way
to the swelling murmuration of
our hearts, also straining to take flight.
