Here is a very unfinished poem for day 13. I spent most of the evening decorating a prop Necronomicon, so unfortunately, I didn’t have a ton of writing time! Just normal evening activities. SUMMONING MARGARET So there you go again – dying all […]
Day 12! Kinda can’t believe I’m still going! THE RIGHT KIND OF MANIFESTO I bought a can of pineapple at the store like it was a thing I might enjoy and now it stares accusingly at me from the kitchen counter because I do […]
Day 11! FATES We weren’t raised on scythes and needles though we sometimes dreamt of Death in elf-toed shoes, lazing around the city streets, playing dodgeball with dusty happy children. Why do we have so many questions pulsing in us like heartbeats? I am […]
Day 10! This poem came from an exercise I tried once or twice in undergrad. We had to “translate” a poem from a language we didn’t really understand and then turn the resulting gibberish into its own poem. So this poem is loosely based on […]
Day 9! This one is a real work in progress. It kept wanting to rhyme, and it’s so sing-songy… I don’t really know what to do with it. Definitely needs more time. There is a hole in the Great Pyramid of Giza Like a […]

Day 7! This is the most I’ve written in awhile and it’s been exciting to get back into writing every day. And challenging. And things are already getting strange. I blame the dictionary that was next to me when I wrote this… Let love […]
Day 6! Almost a week in! WAKE THE ORACLE who once sat stone-dark, immobile and born today. Watch my eyes move closer like a flounder like a brain’s white shyness standing in the doorway til the silence is gone. I should forget. I must […]
Day 5 and things are already getting wacky. This poem was inspired by paging through some Frederik Pohl short stories and a Nietzsche compilation (two books randomly pulled from my bookshelf). LOVE AND WASTE NO MORE TIME says everyone dead, but they never do convince […]
Day 4! Healing for the Splendid Imperative Lord, you are not going — god, lord god, and god of the future — press your space face close to mine, and sing me to my opera house. Bring a bale of hay and a bucket of […]
