When you were / in the Everglades we canoed from Flamingo and through the canals.

Lost in the stillness of her stare, a dangerous watery horizon appears, and then she removes her mask.

Excerpted from “The Apparatus," from the forthcoming DMZ Colony.

My feet moved down another street / and I saw the shape they would draw / on the map in my mind.

Look at my heartbeat / and its consequence, / that cup warm on my palm

How would I know / when I’m empty and quiet like breath?

As a student, I stitched / a cadaver together / while my professor / said you must / be a predator . . .
