apples and pomegranates

morning. You peel apples and slice them, then tell me you refuse to bite off a mouthful. “Mouths are meant for talking, not chewing.” I look at your plate across mine and consider; fruit is partitioned the same way your life is placed in boxes. You just moved in and nobody was free except for me. (I am always free for you.) We talk. You offer a slice of apple and I wonder how you would eat…

Emergency Management

by Camille Rankine

The sun eats away at the earth, or the earth eats away at itself and burning up, I sip at punch. So well practiced at this living. I have a way of seeing things as they are: it’s history that’s done this to me. It’s the year I’m told my body will turn rotten, my money talks but not enough, I feel my body turn against me. Some days I want to spit me out, the whole mess of me, but mostly I am good and quiet. How much silence buys me mercy, how much silence covers all the lives it takes to make me. In the event of every day and its newness of disaster, find me sunning on the rooftop, please don’t ask anything of me. If I could be anything I would be the wind, if I could be nothing I would be.
