EXCERPT:

All the mistakes of power are people

Written over simple needs

We’re small fish people

My sister and I

Ears freeze slowly as beautiful stars

Flipping squirrels the sea-turn knife

Cops throwing snowballs

Sniffing my breath yawning

Similes siphoning jackhammers

Cooing a page in the twilight
