Hexagon
Kelly L. Morckel

New raincoat I will walk through Paris       in you       I will grow
photogenic, naked in mind

                beneath you.

Sundays are for learning the bones of tetrapods,

                the skull pieces of Ichthyostega. Sundays are for raincoats in
Paris – only for such

daydreams

                Such foreknowledge –       I’ll strike another allumette in this
rain, but            Will I go to the

beaches

           – and weep, will I sip hemoglobin       and in how many cafés?
Soon I go       Soon to transport

A new way to beaches, dark and cold                 half of a six-sided
geometry

                drawn with feathers and henna on my palm


           in the shape of a second heart.
