@ClarkeJaxt45113 scored another poem of mine! If you're not familiar, CJM is THE go to for killer synth tracks and two-stroke engine repair.

And, if you haven't already, consider grabbing a copy of my latest collection, At the Mercy of the Flies, out from @halfmysticpress

From Split Split by Réka Nyitrai. Loving this book(s) (it’s a tête-bêche bound book, if you’ve even seen one). Pick it up from @neonpajamas's Pizama Press!
