APPARENT CORONA
—Myung Mi Kim
First name last name harm
First name last name death
Flowers are beautiful
This is heavy
Someone else will drink the wine
First name last name prize
*
Snow falls as rain
Mucus accumulates
A plan one year in advance
Feeling of belonging to the imminent past
Sphere blue with futility
*
Face ruptures
Stress thump
Stress thump
Strange fullness
The heat turns on
*
White footpath
Diamond circle
Brain and brain and skull
Vanishing steps
There is no obvious correlation to the poem
*
Bloomed skin, red rash
Anallergic
Illicit profusion
Each chapped lip takes in dust
I have to emerge into the world
*
Small series of replacements
Quotidian effect of pain
I wake up tired
The failure lain down to sleep
I throw what little energy I have left at the wall
*
The scars in continual rupture
Open mouth
Lip & whitehead
The human skin regenerating cleanly
(The scar erodes)
*
How is it a virus is not contagious
Little bloom
Little archipelago under the skin
I google thrush, I google anxious death
I seem to be truly changing
*
It is not twilight
Other names are fear or grief
To move on and through a feeling, the feeling must be honored
Some encounters could have been avoided
*
A scream
The screen shakes
I am not crying
I want this blurred hour to continue
*
New room
I felt as if a stranger walked through the wall
The heart rate settles
The heart rate rises
*
A timespan holds sadness
A shape like a holster
