How Do You Sit With Twisted Hips: Emi, Jackie

March 26, 2020 Kate Belew with Emi, Jackie (New York)

An entire field of poppies 

like a long sleep offers

the requisite unveiling of dreams 

But today I don't have anything nice to say. 

Today I am 3,000 feet tall and cannot fit at my desk.

How do you sit with twisted hips?

And how do you sit with grief?

Erect and with poppies for eyes.
