exploitation & the low vowels of weather—for musical theatre, death
by kitchen sink
& everything I needed you to be—for learning to settle
for what wasn’t your
best. This day is for bringing my copper-pyrite body
in from the wind—for
elementary science that speed maps cellular structures
& calls my mixed
pathologies beautiful.
