as i sink into a bathtub (ii)
Andrew Landay
→BFA ILL 2024
like you,
i wish
to shed my fear of firsts
translucent
bodies
show the most when flustered
and like glycerin,
i form peaks before
settling to my unchanging
shape. this
see-through
heartbeat, as it
echolocates
that of
a
comparable frequency,
will come across shards of silica
bearing resemblance to
sea glass before they return onshore—
Andrew Landay is separating layers of nacre from pearls.
