New prose poem up at Trampoline Poetry www.trampolinepoetry.com

Untitled [In my simple world…]

In my simple world—and this is logistics—here is where I learned laundry and composting, and there is Ryan slipping into the river after drinking alone, leaving everyone feeling guilty about feeling relieved. Things accumulate after a tragedy. Plastic, mainly. But Pete did have to get a tetanus shot—in his stomach if you can believe!—so you know there’s some metal down there, just like you know there’s something bad down there. You can feel things change around you when you get close to the place where the water goes underground. Once you’ve been there it’s always with you. You can close your eyes and follow the river into the dark opening and past the cold metal grate, down under the highway and the new hospital, and up out of the city. But before it gets to the swamp, it passes directly under the Cincinnati Museum of Children’s Book Illustrations, where you can—and this is more complicated than it sounds—stand in this corner here and whisper, and be heard clear as a bell in an alcove on the other side of the courtyard, way over there.

Poem

A Blessing for Tuesday Morning

It's trash day. Soon the ugly men
Who drive the stinking trucks will come.
They haul away and save me from
The things that I destroy. Amen.

#weirdpoemwednesday "Tourist"

Tourist

There's a gap—we call it the larynx—
between the brain and the heart,
right where the guillotine goes—
it's where the words come out.

Most of the time we speak
in a kind of falsetto,
with a wandering European
accent, and a limp.

Teeth as semaphores,
flashing from edge to meat.
Rain like in the movies,
not like in a book.

I wish what we want
weren't what we want.
The goodness comes from—
well, not here in my heart.

Untitled #smallpoemsunday

Hey! You by the bus stop,
plastic bags around your ankles,
I can't offer you a ride, I've been drinking.
I don't have any bags. My house is empty.
Pray for me. I'm scared of dying.

No schedule send, so y'all get my #smallpoemsunday poem early. @tomsnarsky.bsky.social Happy Father's Day!

My wife thinks the best of people.

We meet in the scriptures.

Word cloud of my poetry ms. I'm asking myself if there's a better title for it.

Word cloud of my poetry ms. The words once, can, never, know, like, thankful, will, time, people, things, back, and now are prominent.

"Work" for #weirdpoemwednesday first appeared in a now-defunct online mag, appeared also in my first chapbook Like Now.

Work

I make mistakes at work. They’re very fine.
I ship them everywhere around the world.
On Mondays, big ones. Tuesdays, little ones.
On Wednesdays, sales. On Thursdays, ordering.
But every Friday I do something strange.
I’ve never spoken it aloud before.
I climb up out onto the roof and sit
All by myself. I close my eyes and breathe.
The world spins for a while. I let it slow.
And then I pull a piece of paper from
My hat, a pencil from behind my ear.
I smooth the paper on my knee and write

One thought, as perfect as a tortoise shell.
I eat it. It’s my home next week in hell.

I accomplished my daily progress-at-work goal today, in between the gazillion things to do today. Oh, and here is the yard sign I put together for my wife's school.

Spring

All the holes
in hollow trees
and crevices

beneath the eaves
are teeming now
with snouts

of small squirrels
and the imperative
craws of featherless

starlings ready
ready ready to devour
devour devour devour the world.
