From Alyssa Kathleen McCanna’s incredible debut, winner of this year’s Colorado Book Award, FISH WIFE @blacklawrence.bsky.social

$Poem that reads: FOR BURNING You're a witch, he told me once, but he meant it good. Then punched the windshield until it buckled, spiderwebbing around his fist. I thought I had the gift, but all I had was salt, black smudge, smoke. What lack, what trick. I casted shadows & aspersions, he punched the windshield until it buckled. Spiderwebbed veins thumping in his arm. His body was a gift, kaleidoscope of black, of oak. Lack of light, trick of shadow, power cast as poison. More than once I slipped into his bed when I belonged to another, vain jump into his hands, his gift of kaleidoscopic body. So many faces refracted in a cut glass of whiskey, so much noise. Once I slipped into his bed when I belonged to another, then another, and another. A madness of matrimonies, so many faces refracted in a cut glass of whiskey. Such bliss in the gift of his fist. I thought he was a home, but he was only sand, a ruin of waves, another, then another. An insanity of sorceries. You're a witch, he told me once, but I misunderstood.$
