CONSTITUTIONAL
[ Reshaped poem & image ]
CONSTITUTIONAL
The heart—she works inside
the ambulance of the body,
she’s good at what she does
without the Imaginary or holy
lights to guide her. Give her
a crown and she will refuse it,
swallow a thorn and she will nurse it.
She holds no prayer, holds
no faith, she is the first evidence,
the first apple, the first cartographer
of this flushed coastline—
this beautiful dark park.
