for and after Daniella Toosie-Watson<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

the curtain is off-white<\/p>\n

the faucets silvery metallic made to twist<\/p>\n

adjust pressure the tiles segmented<\/p>\n

borders like the body\u2019s edges\u00a0\u00a0 we are always<\/p>\n

in contact with something even if<\/p>\n

it\u2019s only the floor and air the green<\/p>\n

bath-rug\u2019s damp fluff\u00a0\u00a0 my skin<\/p>\n

is brown is brown is brown<\/p>\n

is down on its weak knees\u00a0\u00a0 the sink<\/p>\n

is white the tub is white the walls<\/p>\n

white the window frosted and on top<\/p>\n

of that a layer of condensation<\/p>\n

outside it there is a whole world<\/p>\n

i know it even when it is not visible<\/p>\n

that it is true and open and full of contradiction<\/p>\n

under my nails the grime houses<\/p>\n

a whole ecosystem millions of active<\/p>\n

cells molecules mitochondria dried skin flakes<\/p>\n

waiting to dislodge to fall\u00a0\u00a0 the towel is tan<\/p>\n

i am a tangled knot a pretend pretzel person<\/p>\n

trying to regulate my breathing and inside<\/p>\n

the chemicals sending me information<\/p>\n

the ceiling is cracked the ceiling is cracked<\/p>\n

i cannot reach it i stop trying<\/p>\n

i breathe the breath has no color I breathe again<\/p>\n

the breath of dinosaurs and stars the breath<\/p>\n

mixed with the breaths of billions of people<\/p>\n

the breath encapsulating my skin<\/p>\n

the particles of air real even in the unseen gas<\/p>\n

i open the window i do not consider leaving<\/p>\n

the wind is moody and frantic even more<\/p>\n

than i am\u00a0\u00a0 it is a violent shimmy of invisible shoulders<\/p>\n

it blows the shower curtain right off the rod<\/p>\n

i pick it up\u00a0\u00a0 put it back on slowly<\/p>\n

segment by segment\u00a0\u00a0 dull rusty hook by dull rusty hook<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
