First Love by Mina Khan

A room, a possum, its body in formaldehyde

My right leg trembles the first time

It’s easy to trap a possum, just squeeze its tail, watch it squirm and

Since then I am so slippery, skin all wet between my

Stink. I hate that smell

I know you do because you told me

Stink. I came

My eyes could almost slip out their

Sockets are full of electricity, my wet a conveyer

Belts, I hate them, that click of silver. Hated it

Now and I hate my mouth and I wince

Before your hand

Because what is worse than

Lips so pink

And full of teeth, what is

Stay. A possum in a bucket

Fur floated to the top.

You said he was your best friend

His bones a string across your neck

White and glistening and

Dripping
