the year nyc was covered in cherry blossoms we never got to see

Alexis Briscuso

i got rid of my pack rat tendencies
and spread all the feathers
in my wings what wings are
buffalo feathered — you plucked
before plating, i hope
like nightmares featuring
only bon appetit
test kitchen on repeat
learn to cook an egg
you goddamn tart
