Questions for My Body
Why are you nocturnal
How many cathedrals have you entered
Has cruelty ever saved you
Do you remember the length of his thumbs
Isn’t that enough cake
Have you ever soaked your feet in gasoline
Do you still fear the virus
How can you sleep in this heat
Is that a soul patch
Did you laugh or cry at Keats’s grave
Have you been claimed
