mantra reviewSummer 2018Bigvai Yesterday light cut my name into stone and reminded me of the pink beneath my eyelids. Quiet is hard to find in the melting: blessed with red candles and songs built from brick and clouds, my legs bend bone dry without cartilage and water. Yesterday the salt flattened my mouth; a fidget of flesh prickled we strangers of dust. The halo burned my tongue. I am still followed and can feel camera daggers, but their company is welcome because the grass is soft and thornless. In transit, I live in the moment when not trapped in my throat.
