steam makes me happy soft as skin on the back of a knee thick when it fills your lungs but not horribly so like smoke or blood just there just warm     I am becoming steamish permeable and light as bone dust in the air don’t look at me like that you heard what I wrote     I slapped all the drugs from my high chair but that doesn’t make me a saint    check my temperature check my crib I’m in here grunting like a buffalo’s head on a buffalo’s body   a season can be made of anything raindrops lilies heat      honey takes the shape of its bowl I have so many bowls and I’m filling them each with sand      sand is so much like me always the very closest or furthest thing from wet By Kaveh Akbar, from Sixth Finch
