For Jason

December 5th, 2022

Poem by Italo Ferrante

Belly acoustics is

my area of expertise.

 

I instruct lovers

to file me as

 

radio-opaque,

constantly floating,

 

shaped like a crow’s foot.

I like my coffee

black & complex.

 

Sugar makes my

desire ultralight.

 

Salt makes it dappled.

I ask you to absolve

 

& dissolve me.
