Winter is ending, and today marks the first day of meteorological Spring - here is my offer of something peaceful for the timeline racarter.itch.io/haiku-garden

TEN LINES

My stomach churns.
I close my eyes and see the prose.
I needed to take the edge off
and so now the edge is off.
All my cells are whispers.
Things become secretly irrelevant.
Now, I'm---... and less enthusiastic.
I finally understand nothing.
Winter is coming.
A dreaded neighbour in the night.

"I am learning how to be weakness leaving the body.
I am licking citric atlas critic acid off my fingers.

Every day is keep doing my tasks keep reminding and head down.
Nobody minds the back kept slant until straight again."

Cover art for "There's a Party in the Free Zone" by Whiskey Radish.

Cover art for "There's a Party in the Free Zone" by Whiskey Radish.

A fantastic blurb from Kayla E (Precious Rubbish) for the final book in our @sfwa.org grant series:

"There's a Party in the Free Zone" is a little miracle of a book. Ink-smudged one-panel poems and pocket fables that land like a voicemail from your subconscious: funny, tender, and a little haunted.
