The Leash by Ada Limón
"But sometimes, I swear I hear it, the wound closing / like a rusted-over garage door, and I can still move / my living limbs into the world without too much / pain
Demand It Courageously by Julia Hartwig
"Make some room for yourself, human animal. / Even a dog jostles about on his master’s lap to / improve his position."
Retriever by Faith Shearin
"She is his responsible soul / broken free. She is the children he couldn't / come home to made young again." – Faith Shearin
