entered a contest
a kid gets shot on the street

haiku
East 149th, 6PM
dark crowds of wanting hands
your lover’s hands
interchangeable with others’ hands
(originally published in Beechwood Review, Issue #2)

The empty canvas
had a tiny fingerprint–
a constellation.
(originally published in Vine Leaves Journal, Issue #17)
Blizzard
wind like a taiko
along the crown of palm
I shiver with the window
