“All night I lay awake to owl song / five birds at the window / low and solemn.”

“I remember / the previous night’s rain still dripping / from his eaves, the Crape Myrtles huddled / along his street”
By Maya Salameh
“the radio trembled like it had been kissed / by static or God. I’m a sharkish girl / with a rude mouth, new molars jagged”
“Let the heart / sit motionless as a stone, flat as that / theory about the flatness / of the Earth.”

“tell me of the hundred eyes / howling at the small moon / of your heel. each hurricane / you set in a man’s chest.”
