Recently received news that online journal Threeandahalfpoint9 decided to publish one of my shorts. Always grateful to have my work featured anywhere and felt this was a great start to the new year.
You can download a .pdf of the journal above to enjoy (rinse. repeat) alongside several other poets or check out my contribution below.
(rinse. repeat)
this thing.
We’ll do this again,
playing hide and go seek
with emotions and hearts
toussle between sheets
like we’ve never loved apart.
no other will do, we’ll cry
until it’s time to
regurgitate pride and
wipe clean our messy thighs,
separate hands and
relearn our guise,
pretend this wasn’t what they thought it was
when that’s all it’s ever been –
this thing.
we’ll do this again.
Congrats on being published in the journal!

Reblogged this on writing in airplanes and commented:
I’m just a huge fan of Sharkey — this one feels so uncomfortably familiar, like we have the same NSA overseers or something.
