"See how it compensates? It gets sloppy. It spills down its bra. It’s sticky. It howls. Milkweed. Remember? You’ll be enmeshed soon." River River poet @zoeryderwhite.bsky.social with a poem at Only Poems today -- www.onlypoemsdaily.com/p/the-dream-...

Im more excited about this project than any writing I’ve done for a long time, and so grateful to @onlypoemsmag.bsky.social for sharing seven from the series, along with an interview. They sure know how to ask a compelling and thoughtful question.♥️ onlypoems.com/poets/zoe-ry...
