whore's porridge

The new issue of Softblow includes four poems of mine.

U5 Inbound: The U5 is Frankfurt’s subway line #5, whose key function is to take me back and forth to work everyday.

1286: This is a medieval poem that was written in the soggy weather of Germany’s Black Forest.

With All Due Respect: You know that crack sound the ice cube makes when it’s dropped into a glass of water, or coke, or whatever? Don’t you love that? This poem opposes clinging and hoarding.

Spacemanship: This involves a transpositional experience. As it should.

I especially like the phrase,"aubade and evensong..." from U5 Inbound, and the line "the dead were good at death..." from 1286. Wonderful poems Sarah.
