Just a quick post to announce Right Hand Pointing’s Issue 72, which includes my poems “Kindred Spirit” and “Fool.” You can read them here.
Check out the rest of the issue here. There are some rockin’ poems by Philip Shils, Larry D. Thomas, Luis Cuauhtemoc Berriozabal & Rosemary Badcoe.
Also of *ahem* note, is this issue’s “The Note”: editor Dale Wisely writes an editor’s note like no one else.
See you Friday!

I recently lost a friend of mine – at the same time that a few other people I know also lost people close to them.
For this week’s post, I thought I’d offer a poem by the great Bert Meyers.
Though about a specific person, I feel the sentiment speaks for many.
For W.R. Rodgers – Bert Meyers
I knew a candle of a man
whose voice, meandering in a flame,
could make the shadows on the wall
listen to what he said.
Time flowed from a vein that ran
its blue crack through his pale forehead.
He’s done. You’d need a broom
to arouse him now.
All things burn before they’re dead.
Some men are words that warmed a room.
***
Happy warming!
