Sand Flats, UT

“but you held me down, just like this, / possessed, alien, godlike, looking at me, outside of / time—”

“I look down / at the skew-whiff knobs / of my fingers, each wonky digit sprawled / out toward their stubborn / destinations”

“we studied flight patterns in endless, borderless skies / the way travelers study maps.”

“all alone & darkening, the lens / is nothing without its ambient light”

“Anna Atkins, rock climbing videos, victims of expectation.”

“in murky waters, lotus plants / unbosom their hearts. pink capsules floating in clear waters.”

“We wait for a sign — I see each inhale and exhale / become all the moon phases she has witnessed.”

“Perhaps it is true what the poet said of love: how / My mouth a sheath, love & betrayal both are swords.”

“Days of rain, panic, Simone Weil, potential spam.”
