"How to fight embodiment? Expand / against embrace, shake radiation like a dog, / strip, condense, reconfigure."

A poem by 𝗟𝗶𝗹𝗮 𝗥𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗻 in the Fall 2025 issue

A girl is born then twisted, unfolds a gluttonous body, popping each beachball moon into a wide yellow mouth. Once, I could peel back the face of a planet like a clementine or sit in a creek & abstract

They say things come back to where they’d been before, like some sort of comet feelings. You just need to know how to wait for them, you need to wear out, standing still, countless pairs of boots. This means the acacia tree that was cut last fall will shoot up briefly from its old root. That you will love me again in a few billion light years.

2 poems accepted in Queen’s Quarterly in January 2025 will appear in the spring and summer issue of this year — my longest wait between acceptance and publication. Very excited to be included!

A haiku presented on faded yellow paper, illustrated by a sumi-e painting of a double wooden door with withered pot plants either side. It reads: slaughterhouse door- a row of withered houseplants
