How do the living cows feel about the cow skull?

People send weird messages…

My dog Olive on her 7th birthday. A pic of her as a puppy and a llama on the wall AND an actual llama outside that she barked at when I fed it an overripe banana.

Making the best out of the curves in the road.

My great grandmother’s grave in Lakeview Cemetery, Seattle. She left behind four children, her only daughter was my grandmother. I gave her 4 sunflowers to remember them.

Our stories start somewhere. Mine started here, before I was born. I have been its witness. Now it’s my turn to choose.

I spent 2024 grieving my father’s death and reflecting on my connection to Nevada.

The year resulted in me making a poetry film that considers how landforms have shaped my story.

It just got selected for the Nature and Culture Poetry Film Festival in Denmark!

Left of the white rock in the center is a solitary furry ant. You can tell them apart from other ants because they are furry and solitary.

I have a new poem in The Meadow. A literary journal for Truckee Meadows Community College of Nevada.

The poem is for my sister, Veronica Lynn Rodriquez who passed 12/15/20 at her home in Winnemucca.
