One of my newer poems, Red Carpets, is in All Things Girl's current issue, Sacrifice.
Ruby Youth is this week's featured poem at Soul to Soul.

Ruby Youth
You walked around
with a lipstick stain
hovering near your lip,
just missing the curve
of your cheeks,
the dip in your lips.
You smoked
your last cigarette,
your eyes red,
your cheek tainted
with a lipstick mouth.
You shave, nicking
yourself in that gap between
the lips of that lipstick smile,
decaying, eroding your skin.
Wipe that lipstick off,
melt into the wave,
disappear and be found.
