RECOGNITION, MISRECOGNITION — by SARA LUPITA OLIVARES

magenta moon, telluric, we are reaching for something, soot in the pines

patterned silt, canyon without sky, is your awe commodified, given back

likeness as in one sound imparts another, all around an unruly network, unlikely

a sense of, lichen blue, do you stay when we are gone, slow, settled

today I gathered very few, a molecule fallen apart, features delineating the scene
