“I stand with the blind” in Exacting Clam

My poem “A Window (I stand with the blind)” appears in the Winter 2023 no.11 issue of Exacting Clam. 

Exacting Clam is a print magazine. And they sent me a free contributor’s copy. How old school! 


“A Window (I stand with the blind)” is a villanelle. I’ll tease you with the first stanza:


I stand with the blind before the window.

At the edge of the frame the sunlight pries. 

When somebody sees us, how do we know?


At some point next year I suppose I will post the whole poem, but for now I will let Exacting Clam have the exclusive — they bought me off with a handsome copy.
