“There’s too much water here.
I wish you were dead
or near. My paper slippers
glide down the shining hall
where my friends on the walls hang
their names. The shift clock blinks.
I don’t think I’ll get better.”
—Marni Ludwig, “Clinic” @NewIssuesPress https://t.co/PRwveNFxUU
apparently, we’d been assigned to occur
gradually and all at once,
though any of us could have slipped through a needle’s eye
merely by erasing all the emptiness between our atoms,
like the honeycomb spaces in stacked pearls

This is a story about remembering: neurons
pop like an invasion, like a firestorm, sparks &
shrapnel lighting the dark space in every
direction. You don’t see them. You see because
of them.

The clamoring of spirits springs up inside the piano.
What are we waiting for, those of us who hear?
Already a waif with torn clothes and a finger,
I want you like a tight fit, like a swallow under eaves.

illuminating the outer slope of my ex-lover’s left thigh / and the asymmetric birthmark located there I thought / resembled the bust of Martin Van Buren” —Jaswinder Bolina @BlackWarriorRev@NewIssuesPress https://t.co/jDaHaFsBxX
