Places bodies can’t reach:



1.) clapping mint leaves to release aroma:
uprooting backyard leaves
iced tea sweetened with fig syrup

savoring an idea of sweetness lingering, 
not as if we actually drink mint

2.) space left on my twin bed:

when you lay down you take the majority

and i don't mind

isn't it tender to choose to sleep in a twin

past the age of 17

3.) my roommate hosted a birthday party:
one where everyone says goodbye
then stays to talk on the porch


join me in the place where lives are bound together
by a cord of three strands.
