My Name is wolf (excerpt)

Chiwan Choi

i didn't know / that learning to love / another // was braiding lives / together /

intertwining / to keep / from unraveling // but the trauma / isn't without weight / and

bones fray / with breathing // i am slow / to learn / and i don't know how / now / to fall

// without collapsing / the world around me / having tied / so tight / all that i have

hoped / around my bones.
