Bottle Rockets #28 is out, along with my tanka

Yup, the journal is out. Sadly, I'm too poor to order my own copy!:<  I wish I'd like get a magical raise of double the amount I'm currently making in my day job so I can buy all the books I want. *Tears*

Anyway, here's the fruit of my literary labors. The editor, Stanford Forrester, was really great to work with. The journal is available via subscription here.

the leaves take their time
even when their time
has come . . .
to the branch, a breeze
plucks them effortlessly
