It's out. And it's terrific.


2 poems from F2F by Janet Holmes:


List


Saying writing
You are the only one I can talk to

Hearing reading

your form is never more than an extension of such content


no one sees you

and no one sees you

doing it

:


Gist


they have no bodies to each other
they have words

each has the words of the other's body

the dark between them the same dark
as between stars

& almost as much of it
