Dimensions
By Lana Bella
Dimensions,
the rationing of
number and size in
time, touched me
like an upside-down
confection. Empires
of earth fell into
my mouth, endured
on memories of
the infantile me
peeling off sickle-
shaped wafers from
sour lips, coating
shadows on
the undersides of
grubby fingers. Now,
I became a house
with lips at the window,
fingers were the
madness trying to feel
the dermis of
the universe with
intent on making my
thoughts heard and
conceived. I arrived at
a truth, for the reach
next to me felt
empty, while a narrow
and long vision
away, a patient ocean
of space, symmetrically
awry, was slowly
creeping closer in.
