Talia Flores

efímero

shapes with no ends: golden spirals / the size of your mouth / with me inside / lips curled around tin & square / like a muzzle / i trap myself & feel satisfied / i try to solve myself / & become sand-salt / split bones in butter, cut fur / fear is two hands / in a bright room with no clothes / the ice fisher fists a frozen lake & expects / forgiveness / is this / irony? / tight teeth lick me clean / there is nothing to lick / i am fastened & unfit / in another man's shadow / i sink / i born / i cut off my hair with pine needles / the pine needles are made of blood
