I’m always appreciative of the great work Washington Writers’ Publishing House does, and if you’re looking for a steady stream of local fiction & poetry, check them out (and support them!). Very cool to have my super short “Ghost Poem” included in Pt 2 of their BIG Tiny Poems collection. (Reminder: it was my pleasure and honor to have a poem included in their recent anthology This is What America Looks Like.)

Ghost Poem

I don’t believe

in ghosts,

but I live

near the train tracks,

and when that whistle blows

at 3 AM, it’s hard to imagine

there’s anything human out there,

making the world run on time.
