Big ups to The Bex!

My brilliant and beautiful fiancée, Rebecca Guyon, has just been published (twice!) in the latest issue of Press 1, an online poetry journal.

Here’s my favorite of these two:

Brocaded

Your bready eyes would float
if I threw you in this pond.

The koi circling, sucking you in
with tunnel mouths.

Who will touch me then?

The garden heaves us onto a screen –

remember that little Japanese painting?

The clawing wave, the mountain
under grip

men rowing and sliding
unaware of being carved.
