Daniel Shank Cruz’s poem “shoestring fries another tariff”
I have a poem in the new issue of Modern Haiku!
The following haiku is presented on faded yellow background and illustrated with a sumi-e painting of a crow etched on the rim of a wheelie bin garbage truck a crow on the empty bin

Zombie Extras Visit 7-11 Every night they return, tripping down the hill in tattered t-shirts, hospital gowns flapping, glucose syrup glistening red across their chins and throats. They seem tired of this death as they pour hazelnut coffees and buy boxes of Sour Patch Kids and chat about what they’ll do once they get back to living: exfoliate the earth off their arms, maybe hold their baby niece, or gnaw a porterhouse steak to the bone. They talk about the way they died today: crossbow bolt, gatling gun. One shows off the tread marks on his blazer where he was flattened by a tank.
And when one of the dead gets a text, she winces at her phone's bright light— “They started filming again,” she groans. “This is why,” one says, “we call the dead ‘late’.” It’s a steep climb, going back. The dead hold onto each other in case one of them slips.
here's my poem "Zombie Extras Visit 7-11," one of three new ones just out from the new journal @bulbregion.bsky.social!
"They seem tired of this death

Two people climbing ginormous ice cliffs on Lake Michigan. The ice cliffs and icy water appear a muted cornflower blue. A golden orange sunset glows off in the distance.

A girl is born then twisted, unfolds a gluttonous body, popping each beachball moon into a wide yellow mouth. Once, I could peel back the face of a planet like a clementine or sit in a creek & abstract

They say things come back to where they’d been before, like some sort of comet feelings. You just need to know how to wait for them, you need to wear out, standing still, countless pairs of boots. This means the acacia tree that was cut last fall will shoot up briefly from its old root. That you will love me again in a few billion light years.
