POLYGON LOVE POEMS

Alisha Dietzman

1. Almost anything can be preserved in a jar.
   
   
2. Mid-dusk dreams: women
   with swollen hairstyles,
   mirroring bombs.
   
   
3. What gives us the right to listen to someone else's body?
   
   
4. I don’t know to whom these places belong.
   
   
5. At our vertices: God.
   
   
6. Imagine the most terrible light.
   I want to know if we will imagine
   
   the same light.
