*Lust After Eternity*



People resolving on my bed

Count, where provoked, my posts.

Since there's space under the decks,

A man can drown himself in private

Instruments leaking beats,

Wearing down his belts to loops.

But the chains you take to others

You need to go to someone else.






*Builder*



It was easy to know

I was telling the truth.

I had three desires—

I hid the first

Under two stones.








*Jessica Laser*'s poems have recently appeared in *Boston Review,
iArtistas, *and* Lana Turner*. Originally from Chicago, she received an MFA
in Poetry from the Iowa Writers' Workshop in 2012.
