“(for example, my torso in general is lacking in “practicality”).
Lisa Robertson said ‘the poem is a hormone’
hey, I wish then at least I could swallow it.
Yes I am afraid of being cut open, but not so afraid I won’t just do it.
Self-love is like sky writing,

obsessing over torsos in this chair
always giving language a second chance.

“All this rumoured honesty: I’d make such a decent saint! Flapping from one so-called gender to the next. Moving on the fucking wing. Each breath of mine a private miracle. Moist! Actually I’m better than a decent saint, I am a small, bossy son of God.”
