Sonnet for Overall Mother Asia Allure by A. L. Reid
"When her dress was too short to hold despair, her hands urging
to exchange hurt for ecstasy. She vogues cunt like 2,3,4. Pose. 5 and 6, dip —
so we don’t forget, some Legends are not a myth, but a call for emerging."

"the last time a crush like this survived
i was in college: in proximity to a boy
who sometimes got called my own name
& i sometimes his. i hated this doppelgang—
even worse the coincidental attraction—
but loved how, in a darkened hallway
away from the party, i traced his
insides."
