SCORE FOR BODY AS BREACHED SHEATH
by Willa Carroll
Guard the porch | of my mouth | old spit factory | curtain the bird of my tongue | swaddle the moon | rename the sun | VIP of the galaxy | pull milk | from heavy fruits | from white dwarf stars | sheltering in space | glitter harbingers | degenerate remnant planets | invisible in our cities | oh glistening targets | fragile mammals | account for your apertures | moist portals | open to overtures | eyes issuing rivers | oh most desirable host | sheltering in place | shake that long face | shake it shake it | like a petroleum gull | request a fresh suit | for human rain | chemical plumes | toxic motes | oh don’t call me | wrecked nest
