from Step
By George Albon
a perfect world
a trail widens out the
code of indents
channels serving
both prey and
interpreters
arms back, re-
laxed nerves as
in a vat
a perfect world
placed hand on
the breathing field
the choices are circled
until so dark they
must be chosen over
someone in estranged
weather passed past
“these doors don’t”
