one poem by Daniel Gianfranceschi

The Penitentiary Solstice


Almost

Antagonistically present

Like the penitentiary solstice

Of your embrace


If I swallow

One hundred years of wrong

For the instance

I won’t be


In the pause before

Your skeleton caves

Before you give out

And I give in


To be good enough

Invited as such

In your host’s blood

Tending
