Wetsuit Wearing Hot Coal Walker
Emily Jern-Miller

Your still muscles are maple and smooth as affection. Palms to
pillow. Left eyebrow friends with felt. Soon your eardrums will tune
to the sea applauding sun's volume. Soon you will be a salt lick.
Cuisine of calves. Liquid incisors. From waxy soles you will rise
like a thought bubble. Tilt like a translation. Collapsing canopy of
syrupy confetti will snag your sugar smile. Hook your hip before you
return. Scorched and glowing.
