The Manhattan Review 10, 2

Spend all your time just
staying. It makes sense to
chain smoke. Your death

has made me
shade against the fading,
object to moving. The resentment
is shared.

The New York Quarterly 59

Survivors don’t need
short dresses with
love, a rodeo
of slow. People
applauded this.

Thirty years of subtle,
and yet he was still.
Drunk in his midnight.
It bites like Wild.
Everything’s still going
to be.

Washington Square 11

The bottle still
reads “Drink Me.”
A ceiling looks
believable. Maybe
medicinal. A mouth
rearranges.
