Several forms of art, I can sever the seas

or have as many “him”s

and “her”s as time will allow the couple of us –

to bleed in my mouth. It is okay to be bad

at painting landscapes and good at

destroying them – good at making people seem

as expansive as a country or continent

because freckles are stars and

we cry so much we’ll build a sodium factory.
