“my favorite auntie’s hair is now the color of Orlando’s sky at 15 PM + / what would we do without women’s memories?”

“Highlighter yellow, dignity / of curled claw, still open eye. Hard lesson of weightlessness // on my palm.”

“in one dream, a rain shower in every room, matchbook tucked / into the hem of a yellow dress / fountain tumbling with smoke instead of water,”

“Night collapsed into day. Silence fell, / somewhere a new dimension grew.”
