The pomegranates
are almost ripe. Some splintered open the way
all things fragment—into something fundamental.
Either everything’s sublime or nothing is.

“I know I’m still alive because I love to eat. On the table’s a gift from fishermen: pink gills embroidered blood, the eyes— two mirrors snapped over with iron. This shark that I will cut and soak in lime has a mouth made for eating darkness— an architecture built without a need for dawn.”
— katherine larson, “a lime tree for san cristóbal”, from Radial Symmetry

Solarium
The pomegranates are blurs of rouge
in the sky’s tarnished mirror.
The city, bleary with heat. Each day the eyes
of my cat assemble a more precocious gold.
We press our blackened flesh against a sky so bright. I hold
her in my arms at the fading windows.
We gaze together at nothing in particular,
down an avenue that leans so far her tawny eyes
gutter out. In my laboratory, immortal cancer cells
divide and divide. The pomegranates
are almost ripe. Some splintered open the way
all things fragment—into something fundamental.
Either everything’s sublime or nothing is.

We swim through cities
buried in seawater, we watch the gods decay.
We dredge the gods of other civilizations.
The sun, for example. Before the deity became a star.
