stardust
another fire
unanswered
closing argument
2.
holy cow

without breaking
doorbell cam
Red Candle
Melissa Dennison &
Jerome Berglund
increasingly rare
these days
the intricacy of snow
a cattle dog’s
psyche meds
christmas…
the white bark
of a silver birch
dense fog
washing hands
with bar soap
a day of rest:
washing, cooking, cleaning
old times here
are not forgotten:
redistribution
Jerome Berglund
Jerome Berglund has worked as everything from dishwasher to paralegal, night watchman to assembler of heart valves. Currently residing in New Orleans, previously having lived in the Longfellow neighborhood of Minneapolis which was locus to the George Floyd protests, his writing as often as possible strives to engage with significant social and economic concerns of our day that align with missions of decolonization and abolition across prevailing institutions. He has been involved in grassroots activism for the good causes of Occupy Los Angeles, Standing Rock, and the Black Lives Matter movement, supported outreach efforts promoting ecosocialism. Many haiku, haiga and haibun he’s written have been exhibited or are forthcoming online and in print, most recently in bottle rockets, Frogpond, and Presence.
