Late

The dogs in the night 
are quiet at last. They heard nothing
back from the dark. Tired, they’ve fallen 
into the splintered sleep of the small 
and the unanswered. Now that tapping 
from the kitchen—a drip, maybe the clock. 
Beyond the door the porch swing 
that sways through the night, empty
in a wind, saying it all,
saying it all.

I have a new short story out in @madridlitmag.bsky.social about a pair of siblings struggling through a heavy snowstorm.

It’s a pleasure to be included among a roster of fabulous international artists, poets, essayists, and more in this issue.

Check it out themadridreview.com

Run entirely by writers, this new independent hybrid press is seeking English novels that defy easy categorization. High royalties, total transparency, and an editorial-first approach.

After years of frustration in his quest it would seem that one of the Empire's deadliest bounty hunters has finally tracked me down.

What I at first thought of as a long-horned sheep, staring at me from an adjacent field on Dartmoor, but is actually a deadly bounty hunter from outer space who has been trying to track me down for many years, across several galaxies, and is feeling smug that he is finally going to receive the considerable fee, plus travel expenses, that he has been promised for his troubles.
