The Islands

and if you see “VS.” on a flier know this means spinning TOGETHER
wait, cracking sea-salt anemone in fist, in palm
in “what you should taste is because she likes to collect hundreds at one visit”
going for hundreds of EURO at a time
in my fist I spoon a stick-full of orange jelly
from her palm and mouth it as tasting mango
in the mouth more sweet than B.B. said “I should have tried it.”
