the light in the fridge has gone out again

Miranda Corbett & Taytem Chapman

Picture a summer

sleep delicate drool

worship raw bare vision

an eternity of smooth

finger fiddling sweet

death I dream you

blow me behind a

symphony & in an elaborate

sea language how easy

to manipulate love

shake & scream beneath ugly

shadows power pounding

tiny pink gift white juice

not like TV—

Painfeel

Ryan Downum

quick to be a caution in

a shoulder stitched weary, our ancestors

feeling towards tongue

leaves. /open /this is slight reasoning

/perfected painfeel fibula.

these are the GHOST WEARERS.

these are the GHOST NAMES.

in the painfeel tongues.

in the painfeel lungs.

in the painfeel.

how am i to regress

into painbeasts?

i can saddle hurt.

i can sad laugh my tongue bare. i can

feel in the feelingsphere. i can

taste in the languagesphere.

i am still /an open pore.

riding through the coarse vernacular

of suicidefeel, this is some humble

dialogue; the sea unconsciousness

adrift & bursting pain. listen

& the painfeel will clamor up

false hope. i regret everything i have

ever said. i am learning what it

means to desire suicide over sleep.

stupid abdomenfeel. every feelingsphere.

like leaving & following

at the same time.

what it means to look inside

flower feel. what the quiet

in teeth spats means. how

in the painfeel there is no more

longing. how everything becomes

more like a heart

feeling space & siphon.
