Bio Note: While working as a freelance reporter and with the merch crew at a Costco store, my poetry, mostly haiku, has been published in various journals, such as Modern Haiku and hedgerow. My first chapbook "spring dawn" was published earlier this month, by bottle rockets press.

deciding

twenty-dollar
grocery budget

how to cook
chicken

how to cook
eggs

how to cook
which first

and just survive
and live

the swallowtail
on the last phlox

the leftovers
in the fridge

the sunset
making you ready

for another
tomorrow
