In Search of Oceans by Li Yun Alvarado

Lover. Remember when we got high by the Hudson? How I hiked up my baby blue mini skirt / and straddled your thighs, your Sak pasé rubbing against my Mi amor? We were babies then. / Running away from the mothers who fed us each night.

His tongue drowns / my neck and my hopes / turn back to CNN

Does not flinch as my boot rolls the pine limb over / The night is wet with icy stars sprinkled down its ribs
