Poetry
where you go in that dark night
is not my concern, because when you
come back, it is the smell of
willing ink, the clash of wind chimes,
the truth in breath, the sky folding
over, our own blanket. under there, i’m
the only thing ever held against you.
EDITORIAL PRAISE
Oh, my. You had my ear at kwansaba, my head at the smell of willing ink, and my heart at the truth in breath.
