Dora is 61% done
Out at sea, each night
is long. Each night
has one sound I know:
the moon against the water
like your cheek across mine
in another life.
...
We are built to live in each other.
This means we are built to ruin.

I see you standing on a far continent
and between us stretches
impenetrable darkness,
as if I must die to reach you.
I think the world
must be a hollow longing
filled with more of itself -
but no, darkness is a substance
that bends. I will oil and burn
my hands for light
before I stop searching.
