Poems Live at Skeleton Flowers Press

Posted on September 22, 2024 by robert okaji

My poems “Another Sunrise, Another Moon,” and “One Becomes Two” are live at Skeleton Flowers Press. I am grateful to the editors for taking these pieces, and to poet-musician Tara Linda for providing the title “Another Sunrise, Another Moon” during a fundraiser for Brick Street Poetry a few years ago.

I’m pretty convinced there are Ones that were never not One and will never cease to be One, no matter what.

  Thank you, Derrick. I’m pleased that I’m still able to send out poems, and that they editors still find them worthy of publishing. I most definitely do not take these for granted.
