Another poem of mine that the kind editors of @leavingslitmag published in their new issue. The title comes from the opening sentence of Danilo Kiš’s essay “Homo Poeticus, Regardless”

[Lena Zinski @lenazycinsky]

@andrea_jurjevic @leavingslitmag This one was one of my favorites from your manuscript!! the title alone is 🔥

Eventually, you run out of gas, naturally, like a tattooed biker on the interstate. I'm trapped inside of this prose poem, but I don't want to get out. It's nice and cozy in here. I'm invincible.

#JoseHernandezDiaz, from “Trapped”

[paz_contemporary @pazcontemporary]

There will always be silence, no matter how long someone has wept against the side of a house, bare forearms pressed to the shingles.
Everything ends. Even pain, even sorrow.
The swans drift on.
#doriannelaux, from 'Evening'
