when you kiss me
i am reduced to my most. basic. elements
several buckets of water
a trash bag of carbon
a shot glass packed with salt
i become the empty space between all this matter
a phantom dancing in the body of a gutted house
your mouth knows my architecture so well
that every time you lean in
i’m surprised you don’t pass
right through me.
— Sam Sax, “the handsome phalangesist’s lament,” published in Union Station Magazine
