“when you kiss me

i am reduced to my most. basic. elements

several buckets of water

a trash bag of carbon

a shot glass packed with salt

i become the empty space between all this matter

a phantom dancing in the body of a gutted house

your mouth knows my architecture so well

that every time you lean in

i’m surprised you don’t pass

right through me.”

- Sam Sax, “the handsome phalangesist’s lament,” published in Union Station Magazine
