LMS VII: Crimes in Diaspora

Meshugenah · 2026-06-03T23:00:47Z

I'll be (mostly) posting everything here for LMS. I'm working on a couple of collections for sure: "california gothic" and "earthquake weather," both series I started in NaPo. I'll probably end up naming at least one more as I go (family or religion, maybe?). ETA: thematically I'll probably be all over, from family to history to religion to nature (the sun tries to kill us every year, yo). So, I guess that's potentially a content warning? I don't usually go into anything I'd consider even 16+, but mileage may vary.

I'm counting this as 16 lines, but it's more like 22 - definition poems and quasi-titles ftw?

I'm still not thrilled with this, but it's what I have. 33 (34? ugh) lines.

Last few were all in NaPo week, but now we're back here. 17 lines. Technically two transcribed #stickynote poems.

15 lines. May come up with more before tomorrow. Four separate poems, but all kind of on a theme.
