Somewhere in the dank forgotten
There are things the worms
Are too afraid to digest yet,
Things that didn’t deserve a gravestone.
Every day is a haunting
I don’t know how to love the ghosts
That cling to my ribcage,
And leave nightly kisses
With their nail-biting lips:
Crescent moon gifts
Bouquets of bruises.
The shadows have fingers
Bent backwards into prayers
I think I’m supposed to answer.
It’s powerful brooding intense work. Congratulations! I hope you send this out to editors : )

I’ve had poems and stories published in webzines and paper magazines. I really think you’ve got something. Why not? Of course you have to be patient and be ready for tumbleweed blowing and hearing nothing. And redraft your work a few times. I think it’s very good. I’ll take another look today : )
