a sunday poem

facebook

okay so maybe i'm not okay with this
i thought i was but then
i saw something
that set off
one million
little
bombs
inside of my
intestines,
stomach,
liver &
pancreas
prompting me to think
"okay so maybe i'm not okay with this"
and then rushing to my computer
with the feeling
still berating
my insides

  1. How are you liking Melbourne? I'm a writer from D.C. and am looking to move there for the literary community...

  2. Melbourne is pretty amazing, I think you will like it. I don't live there but Susie does, and I'm sure she can provide more insight when she reads this.

  3. Melbourne literary community is pretty sweet! Lots of independent publishers, good zine culture, big writing centre, lots of festivals and the like! =)

  6. @Susie, I figured it would be pretty sweet! I mean it won that award and everything! Not to mention when I started to do my research alllllll of these publishing houses, organizations, resources, magazines, etc. came up on Google. I'm still pretty floored, now I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to fling myself over there into the thick of it.... hmmm..... BTW where are youse girls originally from? (I haven't scoured your blog yet for that information...)
