a poem by sarah sala


The Dime Store


“The white pills could be what
they call placebos, dream stuff”
—Jackson Pollock
Such Desperate Joy



Anne Carson took a step

in her white leather winter

boots


eyes a drip-stain of ink:

a kind of acrylic spilt

from the iris


storm strewn snow

like shards of windshield

glass inside her hair


her bird a heart that would

not beat
