how to ferment a poem
log in
dip your tongue into cotton candy web
things will dissolve
let them
face the fan’s milky iris
objects might be closer than they appear
it’s better this way
press your face into his spine until
bone becomes marble
in your cheek, fit
your chin between vertebrae c4 and c5, dig
a tunnel with your jaw until
your mouth swishes with
marrow and brine, hum
your favorite song, examine
the bulbous clarity of words
in the hollow of his neck
this is the thrum
of the living
welcome
