Clockwise Cat has just published three of my poems: "Eligibility for Citizenship," "The Trendelenburg Position" and "We'll Call Them Martyrs." (They're behind in getting things posted, so even though the post is dated February, it just went up today.)
If you're lying on your back with your feet higher than your head, you're in the Trendelenburg position. It's used in some abdominal and gynecological surgeries to give better access to the pelvis. It's also used in waterboarding.
Some of the details of chemical warfare in "We'll Call The Martyrs" were from Jeffrey Goldberg's "The Great Terror."
