1. yesterday’s gua sha marks
red
not scrapes
not bruises
rough lines
along spine
and sneaking out
from underneath shoulderblade
also, the tiniest bruise
under cheekbone
where yesterday’s needle was
2. first breakfast:
red grapefruit
dripping down arms
second breakfast:
rice cereal
with walnuts
and cranberries
3. triangle pose
headstands
pushups
4. the snow queen story
reveals how
maps are mirrors
and sometimes
the scars on your feet
are a map
and your
bloody footprints
become someone else’s map
5. running cold faucet water
into mason jar
of sprouting
lentils
tipped sideways
in a bowl
to drain
6. the joy
of a consistently swept
hardwood
floor
7. national day of
channeling tenderness
in many forms
8. dreams and waking communiques
regarding fluevogs
a pure wonder
dialed in
fingers
on the lifecurrent
9. unraveling
the details
of hatred
the worst part
is the repetition.
that they’ve seen this
every year
like another set of knuckles
cracking
against a bruise
still in bloom
10. over pad thai
and red curry
we talk about
the second agreement
in relation to
adore-a-thons
cheerleading
catylism
11. fuschia sequin
slipped under
my W key
this could be a problem
