Hips and bones and how I like your come

My poem "Penis Secrets of the Anunnaki" is now online at Nightmare Magazine.

Most of the relevant background is contained in the author's note, but I have always loved that we know the names of the mother, wife, and daughter of Namtar, the demon of disease who serves as minister of the Mesopotamian underworld. The other influence on the poem was a COVID scare in the family.

Congratulations!

Do not imagine that we do not love
as avidly as a scab the skin,
a fever the throat, a sword the spine

*love*

The title alone is a goofy delight, but oh, I do especially love those last two lines. <3

Congrats!

Oh, that's AWESOME. And hilarious. You never go where I think you will, but it's always the right place.
