I wonder if he knows

A cancer season punch poem

Hell yeah a punch poem I just made that up but I love it.

I’m traveling for a work trip and the cancer season feels, local nostalgia, and several free margaritas have ganged up on me for your good: I just wrote an insanely vulnerable poem. But since I can’t be insanely vulnerable on main (bc real talk I think I have a few stalkers) I will be sharing this poem behind a paywall.

I’m also finally pulling together my poems for my second collection “Mourning Sun” ! Some of y’all know this collection has been pending since 2021 (since my grandfather died) but I’m grateful that I hadn’t finished it yet because that was just the beginning of a long period of acute, visceral grief.

This poem will be featured in “Mourning Sun” so that’s another reason for the paywall. Thank you
