2 poems

by Heather Ann Pulido

together at sea

Waves unclenched like dragon claws

Lightning cracked like spits of fire

Still, we braved the midnight:

Two paper boats

the kite to the tree

Seize me, gingerly

Cradle my wind-chilled body

Plant me in your bones

I glided above the seas

To dive into you, agape
