Look at this painting
standing on your head,
or view it reflected
in another frame's glass.
Imagine new colors for it;
imagine odd colors for it.
Squint, give it side-eye.
Hold it up to the light if you like!

Go now
and decide your distortion.
Get drunk first;
take it any way but straight.



Found your viewing pose yet?
Gotten real comfortable, have ya?

Good.
Now look what ya did.
Get your position real clear in your mind.

Why did you do that?

Hello,

I’m Judith

Or rather the pseudonym I’m currently using here is Judith. That name also belongs to one of my characters, who I gave it to as a test of sorts. My poetry, which centers on translating minor moments into obscure observations, has appeared in various collections under different names. My psyche resides in Mississippi along the Singing River.

Let’s connect
