Warren Decker lives in Izumi, Japan,
trapped in his doubts, but presuming he can
write his way out by rhyming each line
with his feet keeping time. He aspires to shine
like a luminous wave of blinding compassion
but was just a dim ripple the last time we asked him.
[Warren Decker has published poetry, fiction and non-fiction in The Best American Poetry 2018, Frogpond, Modern Haiku, NOON: journal of the short poem, Acorn, The New Ohio Review, THINK, Sou’wester, Fifth Wednesday, and several other online and print journals. He has also been spotted performing his rhymed poetry online and in front of live audiences in Osaka.]
