la abre los ojos
by Jacob Cavallaro
mechanical mosquitoes paste her dream
to the electricity she craves.
she dances in a cave with a tie-died octopus.
her cloak is desire.
her fire is a uterine spit.

the sound is that she is where she wants to be,
tangled in jewels and sheltered
by a sea of red and green sleep.

the jungle in this woman will be erased
when she opens her eyes.
