This is a safe place. Don’t think now about reentering the city, lengths of coffee shops, ghost birds, impossible children at your feet. A lamb in your arms licks at its leg. A lamb in your arms is never just a lamb. *Please visit the RealPoetik website if you have trouble viewing the image in this email.* *Natasha Kessler* is a graduate student in the University of Nebraska's MFA program. She co-edits the online poetry journal *Strange Machine* and enjoys collaging when she is not poeming.

She loses the pig under cracking floorboards, dresses the deer in pearls, polishes screws in your skull. She tells you Don’t disturb the bird inside your fake leg. Blue feathers aren’t really blue, they are brown or black. Mothers forget to teach this sometimes, forget loneliness is an acquired taste, invisible light waiting to meet our eyes. *Please visit the RealPoetik website if you have trouble viewing the image in this email.* *Natasha Kessler* is a graduate student in the University of Nebraska's MFA program.
