Christine Potter is a poet and writer who has been to Canada, Europe, the US and the UK, but like most of us, travels mostly in her dreams right now. She’d like to get back on a long-distance train in the US. Her poetry has recently appeared in Autumn Sky Poetry Daily, Eclectica, Kestrel and Sweet.
I’d been thinking about leaving. I’d been thinking how there’s something about out here. Before long it’s a new January and you’re hungover with a heartache for a man you won’t see for several years until he pops up on that very popular, critically-acclaimed sitcom with that actress you learned to like, then hate, then feign indifference abou
The leak in your breathing/ tube makes a cartoon squeak./ It takes two nurses, silent/ as nuns, to place you/ in my arms...
If I have already/ gone insane/ but I want to get/ crazier yet,/ what’s my move?/ Go outsane?
