Dinah in the trunk

by Josie Levin

come to kill me, Tonight on the unlit
street behind heaven

with your cold touch, I’d really like
to be surprised

once grief-furnished, The whole earth
our backroad

witless to rest, Asking where does it hurt?
let that die first

come to, Let the muscle drink
blood, Let it rain
tomorrow
