Dissolution

June 27, 2022June 27, 2022 Alexandra Meehan

Having lined up her affairs, Skin smooth in oil, preserved her Ancient perfume resonates— Disperses its silky depths, I dream Of her incinerating baggage; Replacing it with pockets. Unanchored she leaves— Sails the Mediterranean Blue as newborn eyes, free as infancy To float to the edge of the ocean & Read more

midget

May 2, 2022May 2, 2022 Jodie Beckstine Killian
