[RealPoetik Magazine]

TRIANGULATION

/ we washed ourselves and every blanket / I found the dark / visit /
prancing the side of your ear / consequence of a road / swollen with pavers
/ a desert thirstier / in winter eyes / drier from generated / heat fears
when you fell / your grandmother didn’t / rush for ice / but at me at
stones / steadied by / stones your smile didn’t end / blame / or our old
pyramids rebuilding / all the glass tables / in her house / we return / so
the side of your head / rearranged us / and our cat’s body / as even the
most docile / human animal wishes / to own / freedom / in your infancy I /
read all pets are an effect / to count on disowning / we're all / temporary
/ a constellation / mind
