Always passionate but tonight Fantasia Gorey
& of the salt flakes on the surface of skin
To be brave, I look to the daffodil.
A stupid flower, I’ve always thought
Muriel Leung’s Imagine Us, the Swarm
The opposite of transubstantiation is a yeast infection
Paintbrushes face down in the water cup
and the red tendrils reaching like the summer
Some thirty pigeons in the center of the square.
