VOLATILE SUBSTANCES by Olivia Wolford


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.
