Galia Admoni reads “Tree”

I'm bashful under yesterday's plastic bag veil / 
Captive apples bathe in rainwater
and filth / A monolith of ancient aches / Your city brain

underneath / A sundress / More corsets of 
plastic / no nest / My chest
bursting to be Hirsted /
Pickled / preserved / worshipped
