~Sarah Connor from The Poet Spells Her Name (2023) #poetry

A poem in a book, the page curved, distorting the words slightly. The rounded edge of a flat white petal peeps the top margin, like a ghost dog's tongue.

Text:
My poems are shrinking

Soon I will write a poem
that's a single word
ice
milk
cloud
leave you to do the work,
with your map of dreams and memories, your tales heard once,
your stories that have sunk into the bone
blade
flame
gull

& spoilers! but what I keep returning to with this poem? The single word distillations in it are all key elements of other poems in this collection. It's one of the most masterful keystone pieces I've ever encountered, & @sarahsouthwest.bsky.social is flame
