jittery skin? Sweat rivers my spine and I’m ashamed of my grown body.
I don’t think he desires me, no, I worry instead that he might see

You’ve probably seen Johnson’s art on the covers of The New Yorker. This one was circulated widely online after the Georgia spa shootings. https://t.co/AVTyWQrnoG I think fellow poets would be interested to read R.

El árbol cadáver.
He venido otra vez en forma de sal.
The tree, on its feet
ejects ghosts.
The tree corpse.
I have arrived once again in salt form.
