The following poems all appeared on Dadakuku, edited by petro c. k. The “X-ray of the dog’s hip” poem was my first-ever poem to be published that started with the letter X. The neon buddha occasionally makes an appearance here too. These poems also appeared in annual Dadakuku print anthologies: two poems from 2024 in Dadakuku 2, and four poems from 2025 in Dadakuku 3, both available on Amazon.

X-ray of the dog’s hip
still in mind . . .
ocean waves
