a paper thin heart shaped box

We need more folds than fingers to construct a cube or rectangular prism. More curves than thumbs make a box into a heart unless the box will not allow its interiors to surface. Rarely counted but often measured are the hidden and exposed, encompassing those planes that are flat, creased, raised, opening into an unmaking. These poems and sketches can be smoothed and wrinkled into what might be deforming and delineating, raveling and tangling fragility and determination. Read and turn and open. Let us unloop our hearts together.

poems

Image by Li Zhang

my heart prints my hand

over these wounds

that might be words or love

Papers

less than light

where I might have swallowed these goodbyes as the sun

Image by Dirk Ribbler

alignment

the scar-fleck

of unwary growth

Paper Fold

nearing proximity

fraying against the edges

of what might be wings

Image by Dilara Yilmaz

line, angle, curve

the hidden call for response caged within the rippling

Image by Wonderlane

vox in box in fox: it talks

tracing the bellows

of a heart within a heart
