$7.00 Emma Aylor is a contributing editor at MobyLives and a staff writer for the all-lady online review The Female Gaze, and her poetry appears in Used Furniture Review, Handsome, Vinyl, Birdfeast, Keep This Bag Away from Children, Two Serious Ladies, Tender, and elsewhere. She lives in Virginia. Nightly Where I live you varnish our outsides the broken blue of old pencils. Our address is half down tender, a quarter up Main. We sing for your skin, our throats skimming around your knuckles and into your nail beds, popping the moons. Our parings don’t take. You haven’t played guitar in a year but when you do I will be laundry lint on your wheels. And how you sleep there isn’t room for us full as new white tusks, just mothballs on the phone at night and slow belled threads in each hand. |
