Gayana Artashesyan, Drop Composition 2
Snowlight Psalm
Eric Raanan Fischman
“The night is a room darkened for lovers”
–William Carlos Williams
No matter how much the sun swells I’ll
always love you. No matter the dead lakes
and sulfur rains, no matter
the mountainslides. When the roads
flip over the guardrail let’s
open the door together. Baby, when
you’re broken I’ll cauterize you.
When the angels hail I’ll be
your bone umbrella. Sit with me
under this burning arch. No matter
the asteroid I’ll never leave you,
no matter the buildings tumbling into myths.
