Read my latest story, "A Tale of Two Birthdays", at 52|250.

your arms weave around me tight
-er than grass
leaves
you
only have one arm
because they can’t be torn apart

like shadows from the system
of sun, branch, and something
underneath
for now is us

or so we dream
which can’t be parted
from the system
of sun, branch, and something
underneath

As part of Blogathon 2009, I’m posting a poem every half hour for twenty four hours to raise funds for Friends International, an organization that helps street children in Southeast Asia and beyond. Please sign up to sponsor me or donate directly. Everyone who sponsors me will receive a copy of the revised poems as a chapbook if they email their snail mail address to ekswitaj[at]gmail[dot]com. Cheers!
