I have two new poems in the new issue (Issue 22) of Rabid Oak. You can read the poems here. The issue came out yesterday.
There are tornado watches, warnings, and sightings happening in the midwest right now. I was afraid of tornadoes as a little kid, but then I spent a long time not worrying about them. Now they make me nervous again because of last summer's derecho. The power was out for seven days. It happened around the height of the pandemic in the U.S. (Before the vaccine.) It was hot. I couldn't even go places that got power back before me because I'm immunocompromised. It probably makes sense that I pay more attention to storms now.
