It's cool to try them on you because they're--
yeah.
This is "Spell Sonnet".
You saw a bird die in mid-air today.
Vegas is full of mountain and money.
Brooklyn shuffles tarot and promises fire escapes.
Beirut is forgetful.
Some cities are poetry,

waiting for you.
Though you don't know this yet.
Here are the stakes.
Only senseless heartbreak and joy.
What did you think?
That the gods will lower the tides
so you can cross like a prophet?
That your child won't get sick?
That you will part your lips and love will quench?
I'm telling you.
Here's a folded paper.
Yes, it will cut.
Yes, there will be blood.
Perhaps it's worth it.
