I
have a couple of new stories here and here.
And I have another piece that (I think) is coming out this month, as
well as several that will appear in print and online next spring. All the editors have been absolutely great,
and I am so honored to have my work appear in their journals.
I
saw a pair of ducks today, in a settling pond enclosed by a fence. They were swimming together. Not feeding, not fleeing predators, just
swimming over the placid water. “Shaded,
safe, saved,” to quote Thomas Pynchon.
Dances
for Everyone
The
leaves in the wind
And
the ducks on the water
And
the kids with their cell phones
And
the dogs in their yards
And
the clothes on the clotheslines
And
Don Carlos on his porch:
Dances
for everyone.
Let’s
turn up the music.
