the winter anthology
Vol. 6
Melissa Ginsburg
from those who disdain
the key will never unlock the door
Minnow’s gill a tiny lever
frozen throughwhatever pocked seashore
you walked towards.
Fuck your whore,
that honeybee,her espadrille shoved—
Animatronic flounder
coalesce.
A few fish swim free.
A cichlid breathescaptive
in its bowl.
