Nicolle Chantal Kim Moffat

i.
shivering beneath
the dry pink sky, our bodies
reluctantly bloom.

ii.
bloodshot, barreling;
your eyes like warm peroxide
heavy on the wound.

iii.
was it smoke, gin, or
swallowed apologies that
caught you by your throat?

iv.
lure the memory.
cut its belly, crawl inside.
stay warm till sunrise.
