MULTIVERSE
An indecisive young woman gains a new perspective when she falls in love with Trudy, a fourth-dimensional vampire for whom all possible universes are equally real.
POETRY
Sometimes Sirens
"
schools of fish colliding
conferencing
comparing ideologies
blue and yellow surface-darers
orange coral blooming
invisible stingers
we’re only sirens sometimes [when we need to eat]

Fox Thoughts
" you are the
moon through
the darkish moody after-sundown
clouds that
linger after a sunshower
which some people just call
rain
and other people
often in Japan
refer to as a fox’s
wedding
