You have officially something like 20.6 days to get your work in. Micros under 250 words. Previous published and unpublished. Deadline Nov. 15th! smokelong.com/the-smokelong-…
"Down in the ashes of mistakes and dreams / I see the outline of a heart / And I've gone wrong but still I know sometimes / God serves the best wine up / Right from a paper cup". And the broken vessel repaired with lines of gold....
and the frayed tattered edges of our lives that still hold together as a life, all run like so many colors to make a thing new from something old. Submissions close soon. Share with us the colors that run into wide beautiful aching rivers of light.

I was an artist, & so
she figured I would let her be one, too.
She could glue things to her bedroom walls—
rattail combs, album covers—& paint
pink stars on the ceiling...
She knew I would survive, she knew I had guts.
She could teach me about letting go

Been submitting this wacky, hyper-specific overshare of a 3-page poem that I love so much for over a year now—only to dream mags, which is part of why it took so long. So glad I persevered. It’ll be out November 1st! 😃

“Come then. Leave your war awhile, paper or iron war, petrol or flesh, come in with your love, your fear of losing, your exhaustion with it. All day it’s been at you, coercing, jiving, claiming your belief in so much that isn’t true.”
Thomas Pynchon hitting hard on a Friday
There's a lot of noise, but once you pare it down: a symphony. Look for the similarities, the simplicity of being a broken human who dresses up pain because that's how you must survive for a while. Other roads open. You take them when you're ready...
Empathy is a muscle. Imperfect. Still, we lean in, try to see each other more clearly. Eye to eye, soul to soul. Two more days before submissions close. Share with us whatever road you're on.

"Oh you gathering of autumn moons, when
did you become the hard
absence
of my mother? I could open
this sliding glass door.
I could walk right out, I could drop
this pen, set aside
my notebook, push my beard
into one hundred of your
rain-soaked faces."

How do we get real with ourselves, feet to ground? Taking a good long hard look around inside of ourselves doesn't always reveal pretty things, but it can show us how to live, love, and be better. It can allow us to show up more fully in our own lives...
Art is one way. There are many ways, none of them are easy. 3 days until submissions close. Share your hard inner truths with us, friends.

I am grateful to have three poems up in Ape House Magazine today.
One about Louise Glück reading at Eavan Boland's online memorial (it did not go well... and I watched this years later).
Hope y'all take a gander! Have a wonderful day!

"how much weight
can he carry?
How long,
for a lifetime?
Staring into homes
I was born in,
brick, flowerless,
empty doorways--
I figured out
weight can be returned.
Without anger,
or forgiveness,
dumped at the feet
of the original owner.
Dead. Or alive."

We're looking to the stars for revelation, we're looking to the ground for truth. Ain't no escaping self. There it always is. A brutal and beautiful invitation. 4 days left until submissions close. Share the rough and ragged road with us, friends. heroinchic.weebly.com
i don’t remember you talking this much
i don’t remember you talking this LOUD
you’re living back with your parents,
leaving in your wake—in New Jersey—a breakdown
you’re ranting about mountains & butterflies,
straddling the earth with shoes twice your size

Some days beauty hurts, some days it takes your breath away. If we stay with the things we're struggling with long enough, miracles happen. Every day ordinary miracles. We can't always love our lives, but we can live our love out in a life that feels hard to love...
until the living becomes the loving, until you can hardly tell the two apart. 5 days left before submissions close, friends. Share with us the way you see it all.
