A president's reign,
forests—
forged from out of foliage
new bills
in their fine prints
“E pluribus unum”

Recycle (03/02/2020)

a spiral of ribs 
detaching like plugs
splitting like looming nodes 
shredding red, tight ribbons

to unravel all of what could've made me 
if it only had the strength 
to endure these crushing molar...
