VOLATILE SUBSTANCES by Olivia Wolford
Tuesday, 14 November 2023
These toys:
Stacked so short of the sky.
Horizon of thorns. Every cresting wave
The taunting laugh
Of the long game.
There are things only
Human hands are built for:
To screw, to unscrew.
Fingers in the saltwater
Scramble
Your second language,
Mistaking
Fish
For
Sin.
