BLACK THURSDAY

...has far to go

The nerve to lean, and land a holy kiss:
a move of Judas—holy as the (quote)
“eternal winter” Blake wrote of that Thurs-
day. What is holy? What were wholly notes
for poems, what was love? We watched the lines
the sea threw off and knew our faith. And think
of faith, its ghosting through a crash—the time
we choose to close our eyes—when we will drink
whatever's placed in front of us—within
the cup is wine or blood: we choose. To scoff,
expected, but the world, it stretches in
a way to make the taste of wine seem off.
I think, you'd say, your tastebuds need a rinse.
I lie alone. Another day begins.


Hannah Sanghee Park was born in 1986.

Excerpt from The Houses

House for Z

On the porch, a new bee landed on one half of the halved pear, which wept bright juice into a white saucer. The woman chose this occupied half, then slowly, carefully ate around the bee. But when it left, she devoured the fruit with the severity of a flame.

She is quickly everything.

Elisabeth Benjamin lives on the coast of Maine's Cobscook Bay, where the icy waters appear to boil.
