[Floating sheep turn to wonder]
[To witness a selkie, owl-grandmother, grief]
[Eternal waves quarrel at the bottom of a wellfull of blueness]
[Beneath dark purples, new life jockeyingthrough the cracks]
[Kombucha & skincare]
[I walk past the mental hospital]
[Hello Tuesday, soul-power pancakes]
[Pigs in space, bacon-colored, sprouting wings]
[My whole house sweats blood]
[Grief flowers new dimensions]
[What fool denies the inner life of a whale?]
[In last night’s dream, I collected my deadmother]
[I now intensely cultivate universal love]
[Into each pore, we ask the world in]
[Animals & stars were never ours to hold]
[Can we love life enough to anguish at its loss?]
[Our White Helmets tranced by the blast]
[In the multiverse, other versions of ourselves]
[Seas & stars were never ours to hold dominionover]
[In every life, a moment or 2, for heaven’s sake]
[Yes. Hours brighten into months]
[We travel to our shipping address, like allthings]
[So we traveled hand in hand through time]
[Just as time erases kisses from my body]
[What if love is just spondees]
[We command assertions of value]
[Mother, I’ve built a hospital]
[Said simply]
[Sprouted splinter fevers]
[I didn’t even get the chance to kiss you goodbye]
[Do you believe in magic?]
[Said simply]
[Brothers, sisters, impossible to say]
[Closing waves]
