Where did it all go? Every ounce of feeling from my fingertips and toes. The darkness makes room for the twinkle to star. I look up, my smile cast away. Mage, to you, I'm the muse.

This poem is split from an earlier piece I intended to write in two parts. I didn’t know then that I’d written both at once. While rereading Around The Arrow, I noticed the poem is better suited as a stand-alone transmission; here is Drawing the Target. Skin, held firm, against flesh, surrounding rigid bones. In...

writer writes writing right by tabitha It’s the middle of the morning, the first day after a full moon, my chest tightening–I’m holding my breath again. This self-imposed deadline is reaching a mass-critical which only means I care. “Righter writes writing right,” I read it back, “Do I mean ‘writer’?” The words are...
